graph_tool - efficient graph analysis and manipulation
======================================================

Summary
-------

.. autosummary::
   :nosignatures:

   Graph
   GraphView
   Vertex
   Edge
   PropertyMap
   PropertyArray
   load_graph
   group_vector_property
   ungroup_vector_property
   value_types
   show_config


This module provides:

   1. A :class:`~graph_tool.Graph` class for graph representation and manipulation
   2. Property maps for Vertex, Edge or Graph.
   3. Fast algorithms implemented in C++.

How to use the documentation
----------------------------

Documentation is available in two forms: docstrings provided
with the code, and the full documentation available in
`the graph-tool homepage <http://graph-tool.skewed.de>`_.

We recommend exploring the docstrings using `IPython
<http://ipython.scipy.org>`_, an advanced Python shell with TAB-completion and
introspection capabilities.

The docstring examples assume that ``graph_tool.all`` has been imported as
``gt``::

   >>> import graph_tool.all as gt

Code snippets are indicated by three greater-than signs::

   >>> x = x + 1

Use the built-in ``help`` function to view a function's docstring::

   >>> help(gt.Graph)

class GraphView(Graph):
    """
    A view of selected vertices or edges of another graph.

    This class uses shared data from another :class:`~graph_tool.Graph`
    instance, but allows for local filtering of vertices and/or edges, edge
    directionality or reversal. See :ref:`sec_graph_views` for more details and
    examples.

    The existence of a :class:`~graph_tool.GraphView` object does not affect the
    original graph, except if the graph view is modified (addition or removal of
    vertices or edges), in which case the modification is directly reflected in
    the original graph (and vice-versa), since they both point to the same
    underlying data. Because of this, instances of
    :class:`~graph_tool.PropertyMap` can be used interchangeably with a graph
    and its views.

    The argument ``g`` must be an instance of a :class:`~graph_tool.Graph`
    class. If specified, ``vfilt`` and ``efilt`` select which vertices and edges
    are filtered, respectively. These parameters can either be a
    boolean-valued :class:`~graph_tool.PropertyMap` or a
    :class:`~numpy.ndarray`, which specify which vertices/edges are selected, or
    an unary function which returns ``True`` if a given vertex/edge is to be
    selected, or ``False`` otherwise.

    The boolean parameter ``directed`` can be used to set the directionality of
    the graph view. If ``directed = None``, the directionality is inherited from
    ``g``.

    If ``reversed = True``, the direction of the edges is reversed.

    If ``vfilt`` or ``efilt`` is anything other than a
    :class:`~graph_tool.PropertyMap` instance, the instantiation running time is
    :math:`O(V)` and :math:`O(E)`, respectively. Otherwise, the running time is
    :math:`O(1)`.
