graph-tool is a Python module for manipulation and statistical analysis of graphs (AKA networks). The core data structures and algorithms of graph-tool are implemented in C++, making extensive use of metaprogramming, based heavily on the Boost Graph Library.[1] Many algorithms are implemented in parallel using OpenMP, which provides increased performance on multi-core architectures.

Features

Suitability

Graph-tool can be used to work with very large graphs in a variety of contexts, including simulation of cellular tissue,[2] data mining,[3][4] analysis of social networks,[5][6] analysis of P2P systems,[7] large-scale modeling of agent-based systems,[8] study of academic Genealogy trees,[9] theoretical assessment and modeling of network clustering,[10] large-scale call graph analysis,[11] and analysis of the brain's Connectome.[12]
