Description
Hello, I'd like to start developing an implementation of hypergraphs (both directed and undirected) for Graphs.jl and a way to visualize them. I'm aiming for something like the following:
This was from me playing around with SimpleHypergraphs.jl which used PyCall.jl to utilize Python's HyperNetX. The issue with the package is that the native Julia implementation doesn't work and it doesn't support directed hypergraphs.
Consequently, I wanted to throw out the idea before I started development to see if the package I make should be following certain implementation or style guidelines (besides the ones listed here). Also, let me know if there's a preferred graph visualization library that is normally used by Graphs.jl so I can make it as compatible as possible. 👍
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with CONTRIBUTING.md and review the existing Graphs.jl conventions before assessing the proposed hypergraph design. Compare the SimpleHypergraphs.jl and HyperNetX references mentioned in the issue; done would require an agreed scope for directed and undirected hypergraphs and their visualization.
