High performance graph data structures and algorithms (legacy package)
Python interface to the igraph high performance graph library, primarily aimed at complex network research and analysis.
This package is deprecated; use the igraph package instead. This package will be kept in sync with igraph until Sep 1, 2022 and it will not receive any updates after Sep 1, 2022.
Graph plotting functionality is provided by the Cairo library, so make
sure you install the Python bindings of Cairo if you want to generate
publication-quality graph plots. You can try either pycairo <http://cairographics.org/pycairo>
_ or cairocffi <http://cairocffi.readthedocs.io>
_,
cairocffi
is recommended because there were bug reports affecting igraph
graph plots in Jupyter notebooks when using pycairo
(but not with
cairocffi
).
