Making and Modifying Graphs

Graphs.jl provides a number of methods for creating a graph object, including tools for building and modifying graph objects, a wide array of graph generator functions, and the ability to read and write graphs from files (using GraphIO.jl).

Modifying graphs

Graphs.jl offers a range of tools for modifying graphs, including:

Graphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleGraphFromIteratorFunction
SimpleGraphFromIterator(iter)

Create a SimpleGraph from an iterator iter. The elements in iter must be of type <: SimpleEdge.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleGraph(3);

julia> add_edge!(g, 1, 2);

julia> add_edge!(g, 2, 3);

julia> h = SimpleGraphFromIterator(edges(g));

julia> collect(edges(h))
2-element Array{Graphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleEdge{Int64},1}:
 Edge 1 => 2
 Edge 2 => 3
Graphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleDiGraphFromIteratorFunction
SimpleDiGraphFromIterator(iter)

Create a SimpleDiGraph from an iterator iter. The elements in iter must be of type <: SimpleEdge.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleDiGraph(2);

julia> add_edge!(g, 1, 2);

julia> add_edge!(g, 2, 1);

julia> h = SimpleDiGraphFromIterator(edges(g))
{2, 2} directed simple Int64 graph

julia> collect(edges(h))
2-element Array{Graphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleEdge{Int64},1}:
 Edge 1 => 2
 Edge 2 => 1
Graphs.EdgeType
Edge

A datastruture representing an edge between two vertices in a Graph or DiGraph.

Graphs.SimpleGraphs.add_edge!Function
add_edge!(g, e)

Add an edge e to graph g. Return true if edge was added successfully, otherwise return false.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleGraph(2);

julia> add_edge!(g, 1, 2)
true

julia> add_edge!(g, 2, 3)
false
Graphs.SimpleGraphs.rem_edge!Function
rem_edge!(g, e)

Remove an edge e from graph g. Return true if edge was removed successfully, otherwise return false.

Implementation Notes

If rem_edge! returns false, the graph may be in an indeterminate state, as there are multiple points where the function can exit with false.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleGraph(2);

julia> add_edge!(g, 1, 2);

julia> rem_edge!(g, 1, 2)
true

julia> rem_edge!(g, 1, 2)
false
Graphs.SimpleGraphs.add_vertex!Function
add_vertex!(g)

Add a new vertex to the graph g. Return true if addition was successful.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleGraph(Int8(typemax(Int8) - 1))
{126, 0} undirected simple Int8 graph

julia> add_vertex!(g)
true

julia> add_vertex!(g)
false
Graphs.add_vertices!Function
add_vertices!(g, n)

Add n new vertices to the graph g. Return the number of vertices that were added successfully.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleGraph()
{0, 0} undirected simple Int64 graph

julia> add_vertices!(g, 2)
2
Graphs.SimpleGraphs.rem_vertex!Function
rem_vertex!(g, v)

Remove the vertex v from graph g. Return false if removal fails (e.g., if vertex is not in the graph); true otherwise.

Performance

Time complexity is $\mathcal{O}(k^2)$, where $k$ is the max of the degrees of vertex $v$ and vertex $|V|$.

Implementation Notes

This operation has to be performed carefully if one keeps external data structures indexed by edges or vertices in the graph, since internally the removal is performed swapping the vertices v and $|V|$, and removing the last vertex $|V|$ from the graph. After removal the vertices in g will be indexed by $1:|V|-1$.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> g = SimpleGraph(2);

julia> rem_vertex!(g, 2)
true

julia> rem_vertex!(g, 2)
false
Base.zeroFunction
zero(G)

Return a zero-vertex, zero-edge version of the graph type G. The fallback is defined for graph values zero(g::G) = zero(G).

Examples

julia> g = SimpleDiGraph([0 1 0 0 0; 0 0 1 0 0; 1 0 0 1 0; 0 0 0 0 1; 0 0 0 1 0]);

julia> zero(typeof(g))
{0, 0} directed simple Int64 graph

julia> zero(g)
{0, 0} directed simple Int64 graph

In addition to these core functions, more advanced operators can be found in Operators.

Graph Generators

Graphs.jl implements numerous graph generators, including random graph generators, constructors for classic graphs, numerous small graphs with familiar topologies, and random and static graphs embedded in Euclidean space.

Datasets

Other notorious graphs and integration with the MatrixDepot.jl package are available in the Datasets submodule of the companion package LightGraphsExtras.jl. Selected graphs from the Stanford Large Network Dataset Collection may be found in the SNAPDatasets.jl package.

All Generators

erdos_renyi

Examples

julia> SimpleGraph(5, 7)
{5, 7} undirected simple Int64 graph
Graphs.SimpleGraphs.StochasticBlockModelType
StochasticBlockModel{T,P}

A type capturing the parameters of the SBM. Each vertex is assigned to a block and the probability of edge (i,j) depends only on the block labels of vertex i and vertex j.

The assignement is stored in nodemap and the block affinities a k by k matrix is stored in affinities.

affinities[k,l] is the probability of an edge between any vertex in block k and any vertex in block l.

Implementation Notes

Graphs are generated by taking random $i,j ∈ V$ and flipping a coin with probability affinities[nodemap[i],nodemap[j]].

Graphs.SimpleGraphs.dorogovtsev_mendesMethod
dorogovtsev_mendes(n)

Generate a random n vertex graph by the Dorogovtsev-Mendes method (with n \ge 3).

The Dorogovtsev-Mendes process begins with a triangle graph and inserts n-3 additional vertices. Each time a vertex is added, a random edge is selected and the new vertex is connected to the two endpoints of the chosen edge. This creates graphs with a many triangles and a high local clustering coefficient.

It is often useful to track the evolution of the graph as vertices are added, you can access the graph from the tth stage of this algorithm by accessing the first t vertices with g[1:t].

Return a Graph generated according to the Stochastic Block Model (SBM).

Graphs.SimpleGraphs.watts_strogatzMethod
watts_strogatz(n, k, β)

Return a Watts-Strogatz small world random graph with n vertices, each with expected degree k (or k - 1 if k is odd). Edges are randomized per the model based on probability β.

The algorithm proceeds as follows. First, a perfect 1-lattice is constructed, where each vertex has exacly div(k, 2) neighbors on each side (i.e., k or k - 1 in total). Then the following steps are repeated for a hop length i of 1 through div(k, 2).

  1. Consider each vertex s in turn, along with the edge to its ith nearest neighbor t, in a clockwise sense.

  2. Generate a uniformly random number r. If r ≥ β, then the edge (s, t) is left unaltered. Otherwise, the edge is deleted and rewired so that s is connected to some vertex d, chosen uniformly at random from the entire graph, excluding s and its neighbors. (Note that t is a valid candidate.)

For β = 1, the graph will remain a 1-lattice, and for β = 0, all edges will be rewired randomly.

Optional Arguments

  • is_directed=false: if true, return a directed graph.
  • seed=-1: set the RNG seed.

Graphs.SimpleGraphs.euclidean_graphMethod
euclidean_graph(N, d; seed=-1, L=1., p=2., cutoff=-1., bc=:open)

Generate N uniformly distributed points in the box $[0,L]^{d}$ and return a Euclidean graph, a map containing the distance on each edge and a matrix with the points' positions.

Examples

julia> g, dists = euclidean_graph(5, 2, cutoff=0.3);

julia> g
{5, 4} undirected simple Int64 graph

julia> dists
Dict{Graphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleEdge{Int64},Float64} with 4 entries:
  Edge 1 => 5 => 0.205756
  Edge 2 => 5 => 0.271359
  Edge 2 => 4 => 0.247703
  Edge 4 => 5 => 0.168372
Graphs.SimpleGraphs.euclidean_graphMethod
euclidean_graph(points)

Given the d×N matrix points build an Euclidean graph of N vertices and return a graph and Dict containing the distance on each edge.

Optional Arguments

  • L=1: used to bound the d dimensional box from which points are selected.
  • p=2
  • bc=:open

Implementation Notes

Defining the d-dimensional vectors x[i] = points[:,i], an edge between vertices i and j is inserted if norm(x[i]-x[j], p) < cutoff. In case of negative cutoff instead every edge is inserted. For p=2 we have the standard Euclidean distance. Set bc=:periodic to impose periodic boundary conditions in the box $[0,L]^d$.

Examples

julia> pts = rand(3, 10); # 10 vertices in R^3

julia> g, dists = euclidean_graph(pts, p=1, bc=:periodic) # Taxicab-distance (L^1);
