<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
Given an igraph Graph object 'g', can you generate a layout for the graph using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) and plot it?
### Response:
import igraph as ig
# Assume 'g' is an initialized igraph Graph object
# Generate a random graph for demonstration purposes
g = ig.Graph.Erdos_Renyi(n=10, p=0.5)
# If you don't have a distance matrix, calculate shortest paths as distances
dist_matrix = g.shortest_paths()
# Apply MDS layout
g_mds_layout = g.layout_mds(dist=dist_matrix)
# Plot the graph using MDS layout
ig.plot(g, layout=g_mds_layout, target='mds_layout_graph.png')
