Graph-tool very large graphs in a variety of contexts, including simulation of cellular tissue, data mining, analysis of social networks, analysis of P2P systems, large-scale modeling of agent-based systems, study of academic Genealogy trees, theoretical assessment and modeling of network clustering, large-scale call graph analysis, and analysis of the brain's Connectome. Graph-tool 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. This type of approach can confer a level of performance which
