About:
graph-tool is a Python module for graph manipulation and analysis. It provides a comprehensive suite of algorithms including community detection, centrality measures, and motif counting. Its core is implemented in C++ with extensive use of the Boost Graph Library, offering performance comparable to specialized standalone applications.
Key Features:
  • High-performance C++ core with Python bindings
  • Extensive algorithm library (centrality, clustering, flows)
  • Powerful graph drawing and visualization capabilities
  • Support for both directed and undirected graphs
Use Cases:
  • Social network analysis and community detection
  • Biological network modeling and pathway analysis
  • Statistical physics modeling on complex structures
  • Infrastructure network resilience testing
Alternatives:
  • NetworkX – Pure Python implementation; easier to install but significantly slower for large graphs
  • igraph – Similar performance focus but graph-tool offers more advanced statistical mechanics algorithms
