What is the feature or improvement you would like to see?
Just found this library today, have been using NetworkX to build a production solution for a set of graph problems using custom objects that fetch live information from different sources. I didn't see any documentation on how to do this, but I am looking for an easy way where I can do something like this:
class VertexType(ig.Vertex):
def __hash__(self) -> int: # or whatever easy way that igraph can use to represent a node internally
...
# has other properties and methods I can use with igraph's solver algorithms
class EdgeType(ig.Edge):
def __init__(self, a: VertexType, b: VertexType):
self.a, self.b = a, b
def __iter__(self) -> Iterator[VertexType]: # or whatever way to best represent an edge
return iter((self.a, self.b))
# has other properties and methods I can use with igraph's solver algorithms
# Assemble the graph somehow
vs = [VertexType(...), VertexType(...), ..., VertexType(...)]
es = [EdgeType(*vs[:2]), EdgeType(*vs[1:3]), ...]
g = ig.Graph(vs, edges=es)
# Then do stuff w/ `g`Use cases for the feature
This would be extremely useful because my use case involves a high degree of live-updating the attributes of these objects, and would prefer them as object references to make it much easier and more maintainable to work with. If this seems out of scope for this library, or if there is a better option for it, just let me know
