Enable with:
```toml
[dependencies]

```

## Quick Start

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
rustygraph = "0.4.0"

# Or with optional features:
# rustygraph = { version = "0.4.0", features = ["parallel", "csv-import"] }
```

### Basic Usage

```rust
use rustygraph::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a time series
    let series = TimeSeries::from_raw(vec![1.0, 3.0, 2.0, 4.0, 1.0]);

    // Build a natural visibility graph
    let graph = VisibilityGraph::from_series(&series)
        .natural_visibility()?;

    // Access the results
    println!("Number of edges: {}", graph.edges().len());
    println!("Degree sequence: {:?}", graph.degree_sequence());
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### Advanced Usage with Features

```rust
use rustygraph::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create time series with missing data
    let series = TimeSeries::new(
        vec![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
        vec![Some(1.0), None, Some(3.0), Some(2.0), Some(4.0)]
    )?;

    // Handle missing data
    let cleaned = series.handle_missing(
        MissingDataStrategy::LinearInterpolation
            .with_fallback(MissingDataStrategy::ForwardFill)
    )?;

    // Create graph with node features
    let graph = VisibilityGraph::from_series(&cleaned)
        .with_features(
            FeatureSet::new()
                .add_builtin(BuiltinFeature::DeltaForward)
                .add_builtin(BuiltinFeature::LocalSlope)
                .add_function("squared", |series, idx| {
                    series[idx].map(|v| v * v)
                })
        )
        .horizontal_visibility()?;

    // Inspect node features
    for i in 0..graph.node_count {
        if let Some(features) = graph.node_features(i) {
            println!("Node {}: {:?}", i, features);
        }
    }
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### Using Optional Features

#### Graph Export and Analysis

```rust
use rustygraph::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let series = TimeSeries::from_raw(vec![1.0, 3.0, 2.0, 4.0, 3.0])?;
    let graph = VisibilityGraph::from_series(&series)
        .with_direction(GraphDirection::Directed)  // Directed graph
        .natural_visibility()?;

    // Export to different formats
    let json = graph.to_json(ExportOptions::default());
    std::fs::write("graph.json", json)?;

    let csv = graph.to_edge_list_csv(true);
    std::fs::write("edges.csv", csv)?;

    let dot = graph.to_dot();  // GraphViz visualization
    std::fs::write("graph.dot", dot)?;

    // Compute graph metrics
    println!("Clustering: {:.4}", graph.average_clustering_coefficient());
    println!("Diameter: {}", graph.diameter());
    println!("Density: {:.4}", graph.density());
    
    // Get comprehensive statistics
    let stats = graph.compute_statistics();
    println!("{}", stats);
    
    Ok(())
}
```

#### CSV Import and Batch Processing

```rust
use rustygraph::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Import from CSV (requires 'csv-import' feature)
    let series1 = TimeSeries::<f64>::from_csv_string(
        "time,value\n0,1.0\n1,2.0\n2,3.0",
        CsvImportOptions::default()
    )?;
    
    let series2 = TimeSeries::from_raw(vec![2.0, 1.0, 3.0])?;
    let series3 = TimeSeries::from_raw(vec![1.0, 3.0, 2.0])?;

    // Batch process multiple series
    let results = BatchProcessor::new()
        .add_series(&series1, "Stock A")
        .add_series(&series2, "Stock B")
        .add_series(&series3, "Stock C")
        .process_natural()?;

## Architecture

The library is organized into several modules:

- **`time_series`**: Time series data structures and preprocessing
- **`visibility_graph`**: Visibility graph construction and representation
- **`features`**: Node feature computation framework
- **`features::missing_data`**: Missing data handling strategies
- **`algorithms`**: Core visibility graph algorithms

## Built-in Features

The library includes several pre-defined node features:

### Temporal Derivatives
- `DeltaForward`: y[i+1] - y[i]
- `DeltaBackward`: y[i] - y[i-1]
- `DeltaSymmetric`: (y[i+1] - y[i-1]) / 2
- `LocalSlope`: (y[i+1] - y[i-1]) / (t[i+1] - t[i-1])
- `Acceleration`: Second derivative approximation

### Local Statistics
- `LocalMean`: Average over local window
- `LocalVariance`: Variance over local window
- `ZScore`: (y[i] - mean) / std

### Extrema Detection
- `IsLocalMax`: Detects peaks
- `IsLocalMin`: Detects valleys

## Missing Data Strategies

- **LinearInterpolation**: Average of neighboring valid values
- **ForwardFill**: Use last valid value
- **BackwardFill**: Use next valid value
- **NearestNeighbor**: Use closest valid value
- **MeanImputation**: Local window mean
- **MedianImputation**: Local window median
- **ZeroFill**: Replace with zero
- **Drop**: Skip missing values

Strategies can be chained with fallbacks:

```rust
let strategy = MissingDataStrategy::LinearInterpolation
    .with_fallback(MissingDataStrategy::ForwardFill)
    .with_fallback(MissingDataStrategy::ZeroFill);
```

## Custom Features

### Simple Function

```rust
let features = FeatureSet::new()
    .add_function("log", |series, idx| {
        series[idx].map(|v| v.ln())
    });
```

### Full Trait Implementation

```rust
use rustygraph::features::{Feature, MissingDataHandler};

struct RangeFeature {
    window: usize,
}

impl Feature<f64> for RangeFeature {
    fn compute(
        &self,
        series: &[Option<f64>],
        index: usize,
        missing_handler: &dyn MissingDataHandler<f64>,
    ) -> Option<f64> {
        let start = index.saturating_sub(self.window / 2);
        let end = (index + self.window / 2).min(series.len());
        
        let valid: Vec<f64> = series[start..end]
            .iter()
            .filter_map(|&v| v)
            .collect();
        
        if valid.is_empty() {
            return None;
        }
        
        let min = valid.iter().fold(f64::INFINITY, |a, &b| a.min(b));
        let max = valid.iter().fold(f64::NEG_INFINITY, |a, &b| a.max(b));
        Some(max - min)
    }

    fn name(&self) -> &str {
        "range"
    }

    fn requires_neighbors(&self) -> bool {
        true
    }

    fn window_size(&self) -> Option<usize> {
        Some(self.window)
    }
}
```

## Performance

- **Natural visibility**: O(n) per node using monotonic stack optimization
- **Horizontal visibility**: O(n) average case
- **Memory efficient**: Adjacency list representation for sparse graphs
- **Type generic**: Works with both `f32` and `f64`
