graph_tool.generation

This module contains functions that generate different kinds of graphs.

Random graph generation

random_graph	Generate a random graph, with a given degree distribution and (optionally) vertex-vertex correlation.
random_rewire	Shuffle the graph in-place, following a variety of possible statistical models, chosen via the parameter model.
add_random_edges	Add new edges to a graph, chosen uniformly at random.
remove_random_edges	Remove edges from the graph, chosen uniformly at random.
generate_triadic_closure	Closes open triads in a graph, according to an ego-based process.
price_network	A generalized version of Price's --- or Barabási-Albert if undirected --- preferential attachment network model.

Stochastic block models

generate_sbm	Generate a random graph by sampling from the Poisson or microcanonical stochastic block model.
generate_maxent_sbm	Generate a random graph by sampling from the maximum-entropy "canonical" stochastic block model.
solve_sbm_fugacities	Obtain SBM fugacities, given expected degrees and edge counts between groups.

Geometric models

generate_knn	Generate a graph of k-nearest neighbors (or pairs) from a set of multidimensional points.
geometric_graph	Generate a geometric network form a set of N-dimensional points.
triangulation	Generate a 2D or 3D triangulation graph from a given point set.

Graph transformations

predecessor_tree	Return a graph from a list of predecessors given by the pred_map vertex property.
line_graph	Return the line graph of the given graph g.
condensation_graph	Obtain the condensation graph, where each vertex with the same 'prop' value is condensed in one vertex.
contract_parallel_edges	Contract all parallel edges into simple edges.
remove_parallel_edges	Remove all parallel edges from the graph.
expand_parallel_edges	Expand edge multiplicities into parallel edges.
label_parallel_edges	Label edges which are parallel, i.e, have the same source and target vertices.
remove_self_loops	Remove all self-loops edges from the graph.
label_self_loops	Label edges which are self-loops, i.e, the source and target vertices are the same.

Graph operations

graph_union

Return the union of graphs g1 and g2, composed of all edges and vertices of g1 and g2, without overlap (if intersection == None).

Deterministic graphs

lattice	Generate a N-dimensional square lattice.
complete_graph	Generate complete graph.
circular_graph	Generate a circular graph.
