#' The igraph package
#'
#' igraph is a library and R package for network analysis.
#'
#' @rdname aaa-igraph-package
#' @name igraph-package
#' @keywords internal
#' @aliases igraph-package igraph
#'
#' @section Introduction:
#' The main goals of the igraph library is to provide a set of data types
#' and functions for 1) pain-free implementation of graph algorithms, 2)
#' fast handling of large graphs, with millions of vertices and edges, 3)
#' allowing rapid prototyping via high level languages like R.
#'
#' @section igraph graphs:
#' igraph graphs have a class \sQuote{`igraph`}. They are printed to
#' the screen in a special format, here is an example, a ring graph
#' created using [make_ring()]: \preformatted{
#' IGRAPH U--- 10 10 -- Ring graph
#' + attr: name (g/c), mutual (g/x), circular (g/x) }
#' \sQuote{`IGRAPH`} denotes that this is an igraph graph. Then
#' come four bits that denote the kind of the graph: the first is
#' \sQuote{`U`} for undirected and \sQuote{`D`} for directed
#' graphs. The second is \sQuote{`N`} for named graph (i.e. if the
#' graph has the \sQuote{`name`} vertex attribute set). The third is
#' \sQuote{`W`} for weighted graphs (i.e. if the
#' \sQuote{`weight`} edge attribute is set). The fourth is
#' \sQuote{`B`} for bipartite graphs (i.e. if the
#' \sQuote{`type`} vertex attribute is set).
#'
#' Then come two numbers, the number of vertices and the number of edges
#' in the graph, and after a double dash, the name of the graph (the
#' \sQuote{`name`} graph attribute) is printed if present. The
#' second line is optional and it contains all the attributes of the
#' graph. This graph has a \sQuote{`name`} graph attribute, of type
#' character, and two other graph attributes called
#' \sQuote{`mutual`} and \sQuote{`circular`}, of a complex
#' type. A complex type is simply anything that is not numeric or
#' character. See the documentation of [print.igraph()] for
#' details.
#'
#' If you want to see the edges of the graph as well, then use the
#' [print_all()] function: \preformatted{ > print_all(g)
#' IGRAPH badcafe U--- 10 10 -- Ring graph
#' + attr: name (g/c), mutual (g/x), circular (g/x)
#' + edges:
#' [1] 1-- 2 2-- 3 3-- 4 4-- 5 5-- 6 6-- 7 7-- 8 8-- 9 9--10 1--10 }
#'
#' @section Creating graphs:
#' There are many functions in igraph for creating graphs, both
#' deterministic and stochastic; stochastic graph constructors are called
#' \sQuote{games}.
#'
#' To create small graphs with a given structure probably the
#' [graph_from_literal()] function is easiest. It uses R's formula
#' interface, its manual page contains many examples. Another option is
#' [make_graph()], which takes numeric vertex ids directly.
#' [graph_from_atlas()] creates graph from the Graph Atlas,
#' [make_graph()] can create some special graphs.
#'
#' To create graphs from field data, [graph_from_edgelist()],
#' [graph_from_data_frame()] and [graph_from_adjacency_matrix()] are
#' probably the best choices.
#'
#' The igraph package includes some classic random graphs like the
#' Erdős-Rényi GNP and GNM graphs ([sample_gnp()], [sample_gnm()]) and
#' some recent popular models, like preferential attachment
#' ([sample_pa()]) and the small-world model
#' ([sample_smallworld()]).
#'
#' @section Vertex and edge IDs:
#' Vertices and edges have numerical vertex ids in igraph. Vertex ids are
#' always consecutive and they start with one. I.e. for a graph with
#' \eqn{n} vertices the vertex ids are between \eqn{1} and
#' \eqn{n}. If some operation changes the number of vertices in the
#' graphs, e.g. a subgraph is created via [induced_subgraph()], then
#' the vertices are renumbered to satisfy this criteria.
#'
#' The same is true for the edges as well, edge ids are always between
#' one and \eqn{m}, the total number of edges in the graph.
#'
#' It is often desirable to follow vertices along a number of graph
#' operations, and vertex ids don't allow this because of the
#' renumbering. The solution is to assign attributes to the
#' vertices. These are kept by all operations, if possible. See more
#' about attributes in the next section.
#'
#' @section Attributes:
#' In igraph it is possible to assign attributes to the vertices or edges
#' of a graph, or to the graph itself. igraph provides flexible
#' constructs for selecting a set of vertices or edges based on their
#' attribute values, see [vertex_attr()],
#' [V()] and [E()] for details.
#'
#' Some vertex/edge/graph attributes are treated specially. One of them
#' is the \sQuote{name} attribute. This is used for printing the graph
#' instead of the numerical ids, if it exists. Vertex names can also be
#' used to specify a vector or set of vertices, in all igraph
#' functions. E.g. [degree()] has a `v` argument
#' that gives the vertices for which the degree is calculated. This
#' argument can be given as a character vector of vertex names.
#'
#' Edges can also have a \sQuote{name} attribute, and this is treated
#' specially as well. Just like for vertices, edges can also be selected
#' based on their names, e.g. in the [delete_edges()] and
#' other functions.
#'
#' We note here, that vertex names can also be used to select edges.
#' The form \sQuote{`from|to`}, where \sQuote{`from`} and
#' \sQuote{`to`} are vertex names, select a single, possibly
#' directed, edge going from \sQuote{`from`} to
#' \sQuote{`to`}. The two forms can also be mixed in the same edge
#' selector.
#'
#' Other attributes define visualization parameters, see
#' [igraph.plotting] for details.
#'
#' Attribute values can be set to any R object, but note that storing the
#' graph in some file formats might result the loss of complex attribute
#' values. All attribute values are preserved if you use
#' [base::save()] and [base::load()] to store/retrieve your
#' graphs.
#'
#' @section Visualization:
#' igraph provides three different ways for visualization. The first is
#' the [plot.igraph()] function. (Actually you don't need to
#' write `plot.igraph()`, [plot()] is enough. This function uses
#' regular R graphics and can be used with any R device.
#'
#' The second function is [tkplot()], which uses a Tk GUI for
#' basic interactive graph manipulation. (Tk is quite resource hungry, so
#' don't try this for very large graphs.)
#'
#' The third way requires the `rgl` package and uses OpenGL. See the
#' [rglplot()] function for the details.
#'
#' Make sure you read [igraph.plotting] before you start
#' plotting your graphs.
#'
#' @section File formats:
#' igraph can handle various graph file formats, usually both for reading
#' and writing. We suggest that you use the GraphML file format for your
#' graphs, except if the graphs are too big. For big graphs a simpler
#' format is recommended. See [read_graph()] and
#' [write_graph()] for details.
#'

#' The igraph homepage is at <https://igraph.org>.
#' See especially the documentation section. Join the discussion forum at
#' <https://igraph.discourse.group> if you have questions or comments.
