PeriodicGraphs.jl

A Julia package for the manipulation of periodic graphs.

Usages

PeriodicGraphs.jl defines types and algorithms useful for the manipulation of N-periodic undirected graphs, with N known at compile-time. It extends Graphs.jl by providing the new PeriodicGraph type which implements the AbstractGraph API. It also provides an API for the manipulation of symmetries.

This package serves as support for the PeriodicGraphEmbeddings.jl library, which focuses on euclidean embeddings of periodic graphs, and for CrystalNets.jl for the manipulation and identification of crystal nets, which are 2 or 3-periodic graphs.

Package installation

The installation follows the usual procedure. Start by downloading and installing Julia (v1.6 or higher for PeriodicGraphs.jl). Then, either

• open the Julia REPL and enter the package manager by typing ], then install PeriodicGraphs.jl by entering:

  pkg> add PeriodicGraphs

• alternatively, you can do it from a shell by executing:

  julia -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.add("PeriodicGraphs")

To use the package, open a REPL and enter

julia> using PeriodicGraphs
