  1. GraphBLAS

    SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS: graph algorithms in the language of linear algebra. For production: (default) STABLE branch. Code development: ask me for the right branch before submitting a PR. video intro: https://youtu.be/Tj5y6d7FegI .

    > you probably want more specialised tools like BLAS/LAPACK

    The GraphBLAS and LAGraph are sparse matrix optimized libraries for this exact purpose:

  3. petgraph

    Graph data structure library for Rust.

    I used to think that since graphs are such a broad datastructure that can be represented in different ways depending on requirements that it just made more sense to implement them at a domain-ish level.

    Then I saw Petgraph [0] which is the first time I had really looked at a generic graph library. It's very interesting, but I still have implemented graphs at a domain level.

  4. NetworkX

    Network Analysis in Python

  5. hoogle

    Haskell API search engine

  6. KLighD

    It's hard

    Graphviz-like generic graph-drawing library. More options, more control.

    Improved Optimal and Approximate Power Graph Compression for Clearer Visualisation of Dense Graphs

    https://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.6996v1.pdf

  7. LAGraph

    This is a library plus a test harness for collecting algorithms that use the GraphBLAS. For test coverage reports, see https://graphblas.org/LAGraph/ . Documentation: https://lagraph.readthedocs.org

  8. arborescence

    Generic graph library

    - no edge type is emposed by the library, although it does provide the basic tail-head-pair structure as a utility.

  10. chatgpt-ifplatform

    I used ChatGPT-4 to design and code an Interactive Fiction platform on top of .NET/C#.

    It's really an experimental endeavor. I have a Github repo (https://github.com/ChicagoDave/chatgpt-ifplatform), but I'm still changing things all the time. It's very volatile.

    Finding the balance between OO principals, Fluid coding capabilities, separating the data, grammar, parser, and world model and then constructing a standard IF library of common IF "things" is like juggling 20 kittens and 10 chainsaws.

    Some things are confounding like do I define a container with a boolean property on an object or is a container a subclass of the base Thing? How does that extend to the underlying graph data store? What will queries look like and which solution is more meaningful to authors?

    Seriously, 95% of the fun is figuring all of these things out.

  11. Gephi

    Gephi - The Open Graph Viz Platform

    The following are not exactly what you have asked for.

    https://gephi.org/ This implements lots of graph visualization algorithms.

    https://strlen.com/treesheets/ Excel for tree data.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
