| Unit 40 | Harnessing Networkx |
The networkx module contains essential tools for creating, modifying, exploring, plotting, exporting, and importing networks. It supports simple and directed graphs and multigraphs. You will learn how to construct and modify a network by adding and removing nodes, edges, and attributes; how to calculate various network measures (such as centralities); and how to explore network community structure.
