petgraph

Petgraph provides fast, flexible graph data structures and algorithms in Rust. Supporting both directed and undirected graphs with arbitrary node and edge data. It comes with:

• Multiple Graph Types: Graph, StableGraph, GraphMap, and MatrixGraph to suit various use cases.

• Algorithms Included & Extensible: For tasks like path-finding, minimum spanning trees, graph isomorphisms, and more - with traits exposed for implementing custom algorithms.

• Graph Visualization support: Export/import graphs to/from DOT format for visualization with Graphviz.

Supports Rust 1.64 and later. This will only change on major releases.

Example

For more examples, see the documentation on docs.rs.

use petgraph::graph::UnGraph;
use petgraph::algo::{dijkstra, min_spanning_tree};
use petgraph::data::FromElements;
use petgraph::dot::{Dot, Config};
use petgraph::visit::NodeIndexable;

fn main() {
    // Create an undirected graph with associated data 
    // of type `i32` for the nodes and `()` for the edges.
    let g = UnGraph::<i32, ()>::from_edges(&[
        (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (0, 3)
    ]);

    // The graph looks like this:
    // 0 -- 1
    // |    |
    // 3 -- 2

    // Find the shortest path from `0` to `2` using `1` as the cost for every edge.
    let node_map = dijkstra(&g, 0.into(), Some(2.into()), |_| 1);
    assert_eq!(&2i32, node_map.get(&g.from_index(2)).unwrap());

    // Get the minimum spanning tree of the graph as a new graph, and check that
    // one edge was trimmed.
    let mst = UnGraph::<_, _>::from_elements(min_spanning_tree(&g));
    assert_eq!(g.raw_edges().len() - 1, mst.raw_edges().len());

    // Output the tree to `graphviz` `DOT` format
    println!("{:?}", Dot::with_config(&mst, &[Config::EdgeNoLabel]));
    // graph {
    //     0 [ label = "0" ]
    //     1 [ label = "0" ]
    //     2 [ label = "0" ]
    //     3 [ label = "0" ]
    //     0 -- 1 [ ]
    //     2 -- 3 [ ]
    //     1 -- 2 [ ]
    // }
}

Crate features

petgraph is built with these features enabled by default:

• graphmap enable GraphMap.
• stable_graph enable StableGraph.
• matrix_graph enable MatrixGraph.

Optionally, the following features can be enabled:

• serde-1 enable serialization for Graph, StableGraph, GraphMap using serde 1.0. Requires Rust version as required by serde.
• rayon enable parallel iterators for the underlying data in GraphMap. Requires Rust version as required by rayon.
• dot_parser enable parsing graph from DOT/Graphviz strings and files.
