Quick Start Guide

Installation

Install py3plex:

pip install git+https://github.com/SkBlaz/py3plex.git

Basic Usage

Import the library:

from py3plex.core import multinet

Loading Networks

From edge lists:

network = multinet.multi_layer_network().load_network(
    "./datasets/test.edgelist", directed=False, input_type="edgelist")

From multilayer edge lists (format: node1 layer1 node2 layer2 weight):

network = multinet.multi_layer_network().load_network(
    "./datasets/multiedgelist.txt", directed=False, input_type="multiedgelist")

Multiplex networks (same nodes, different layers):

network = multinet.multi_layer_network(network_type="multiplex").load_network(
    "./datasets/simple_multiplex.edgelist", directed=False, input_type="multiplex_edges")

Network Operations

Basic operations:

# Get network statistics
network.basic_stats()

# Visualize
network.visualize_network()
