Yeah, nice! It really doesn't do that much though - just a bunch of fairly standard procedures. I reckon a standard sc_igraph() function would enable the full functionality on offer there plus a whole lot more. Plus igraph is C/C++, so must surely be more efficient than python?

I've got a whole bunch of old C++ code for graph generation and simulation lying around from my ecologist days. I should probably one day pull that together into some kind of R package comparable with NetworkX. From an ecological perspective, the big missing piece is dynamic movement throughout graphs with non-linear interactions at nodes - standard metapop models. That was the abiding aim of most of the code, although only the start of that work ever got published here.

A colleague suggested to make sure we handle the different types, multi, loops, etc. More soon

The basic graph classes are named: Graph, DiGraph, MultiGraph, and MultiDiGraph
