This is another library for creating and manipulating graphs. There is simply no other graph library out there which can be handle graphs of the size the author is confronted with efficiently. Whenever possible igraph tries to be also user friendly and portable.

igraph started as an additional package to the GNU R statistical environment, and still some functions which are hard to implement in C are available only in R (like interactive graphics). Most functions are however now written in C and they can be compiled without R as a separate library. Still the author highly recommends the R package version, as it is a sophisticated, well designed modern system.

The advantage of the C version is that it is portable, can be used with other mathematical software (as soon as somebody writes the interfaces to it), and for large scale scientific computation in the Condor environment we are using here at KFKI.

igraph also features a Python interface, and other interfaces can be added without too much pain.
