Laypy (WIP)

Laypy is a Python binding for the layout, an engine for graphviz, providing efficient graph visualization and layout capabilities.

Features

• Fast graph layout algorithms implemented in Rust
• Seamless Python integration
• Compatible with common Python graph libraries
• Multiple layout algorithms (force-directed, hierarchical, radial, etc.)
• Customizable node and edge styling
• Export to various formats (SVG, PNG, PDF)
• No need to install Graphviz separately

Installation

pip install laypy

Requirements

• Python 3.8+

Quick Start

import laypy

# Create a simple graph
graph = laypy.Graph()

# Add nodes
graph.add_node("A")
graph.add_node("B")
graph.add_node("C")

# Add edges
graph.add_edge("A", "B")
graph.add_edge("B", "C")
graph.add_edge("C", "A")

# Apply a layout algorithm
layout = laypy.ForceDirected(graph)
layout.compute()

# Export the result
layout.to_svg("my_graph.svg")
