# hola-graph

A Python wrapper for the HOLA (Human-like Orthogonal Layout Algorithm) from the [adaptagrams](https://github.com/mjwybrow/adaptagrams) C++ library. HOLA produces graph layouts that approximate what a human would create - clean, orthogonal, and aesthetically pleasing.

Based on the research paper: [HOLA: Human-like Orthogonal Network Layout](https://skieffer.info/publications/kieffer2016hola.pdf) (Kieffer, Dwyer, Marriott, Wybrow - IEEE TVCG 2016).

## Features

- **HOLA Layout Algorithm**: Produces human-like orthogonal graph layouts
- **High-Level API**: `HolaGraph`, `HolaNode`, `HolaEdge` classes with Pythonic interface
- **Low-Level Bindings**: Direct access to C++ classes via `hola_graph._core`
- **File I/O**: Load/save graphs in TGLF format, export to SVG and JSON
- **NetworkX Integration**: Convert between hola-graph and NetworkX graphs
- **Matplotlib Visualization**: Plot graphs directly with customizable styling
- **Layout Options**: Configurable via HolaOpts and ColaOptions classes
- **Geometric Types**: Point, Box, Polygon, Rectangle from libavoid

## Installation

### Requirements

- Python 3.9+
- C++14 compatible compiler
- CMake 3.18+

### Building

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/shakfu/hola-graph.git
cd hola-graph

# Build (downloads and compiles adaptagrams automatically)
make
# or
make build

# Run tests to verify installation
make test
```

Or build directly with uv/pip:

```bash
uv build   # Creates wheel and sdist in dist/
pip install .
```

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage (High-Level API)

```python
from hola_graph import HolaGraph

# Create a graph
g = HolaGraph()

# Add nodes (width, height) - returns the created node
a = g.add_node(30, 20, label="A")
b = g.add_node(30, 20, label="B")
c = g.add_node(30, 20, label="C")

# Connect nodes
g.connect(a, b)
g.connect(b, c)

# Apply HOLA layout
g.layout()

# Export to SVG
g.to_svg("graph.svg")

# Access node properties
print(f"Node A position: ({a.x}, {a.y})")
print(f"Node A size: {a.width} x {a.height}")
```

### Loading from File

```python
from hola_graph import HolaGraph

# Load, layout, and export
g = HolaGraph.from_tglf("input.tglf")
g.layout()
g.to_svg("output.svg")

# Iterate over nodes and edges
for node in g.nodes:
    print(f"{node.label}: ({node.x}, {node.y})")

for edge in g.edges:
    print(f"Edge {edge.id}: {edge.source} -> {edge.target}")
```

### Low-Level API (Direct C++ Bindings)

For advanced use cases, access the C++ bindings directly:

```python
from hola_graph._core import Graph, Node, Edge, do_hola, HolaOpts

# Create a graph
g = Graph()

# Add nodes (width, height)
n1 = Node.allocate(30, 20)
n2 = Node.allocate(30, 20)
g.add_node(n1)
g.add_node(n2)
g.add_edge(n1, n2)

# Apply layout with options
opts = HolaOpts()
opts.nodePaddingScalar = 1.5
do_hola(g, opts)

# Export
with open("graph.svg", "w") as f:
    f.write(g.to_svg())
```

### NetworkX Integration

```python
import networkx as nx
from hola_graph import utils as pu

# Create from NetworkX graph
nx_graph = nx.karate_club_graph()
g = pu.from_networkx(nx_graph, node_width=25, node_height=25)
pu.apply_hola(g)

# Or get positions for NetworkX visualization
pos = pu.layout_networkx(nx_graph)
nx.draw(nx_graph, pos=pos)
```

### Matplotlib Visualization

```python
from hola_graph import utils as pu
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

g = pu.load_graph("graph.tglf")
pu.apply_hola(g)

# Display
pu.plot_graph(g, title="My Graph", node_color="lightgreen")
plt.show()

# Or save to file
pu.save_plot(g, "graph.png", dpi=150)
```

### JSON Serialization

```python
from hola_graph import utils as pu

# Export to JSON
json_str = pu.to_json(g)
pu.save_json(g, "graph.json")

# Import from JSON
g = pu.from_json(json_str)
g = pu.load_json("graph.json")
```

g = HolaGraph.from_tglf(path)       # Load from TGLF file

# Adding nodes and edges
node = g.add_node(w, h)             # Add node, returns HolaNode
node = g.add_node(w, h, label="A")  # Add node with label
g.connect(node1, node2)             # Connect two nodes
