PyGraphistry: Leverage the power of graphs & GPUs to visualize, analyze, and scale your data

Demo: Interactive visualization of 80,000+ Facebook friendships (source data)

PyGraphistry is an open source Python library for data scientists and developers to leverage the power of graph visualization, analytics, AI, including with native GPU acceleration:

• Python dataframe-native graph processing: Quickly ingest & prepare data in many formats, shapes, and scales as graphs. Use tools like Pandas, Spark, RAPIDS (GPU), and Apache Arrow.

• Integrations: Plug into Amazon Neptune (notebook), cuGraph, Databricks (notebook), graphviz, Neo4j, Splunk (notebook), TigerGraph, and many more in the notebook data provider demo gallery.

• Prototype locally and deploy remotely: Prototype from notebooks like Jupyter and Databricks using local CPUs & GPUs, and then power production dashboards & pipelines with Graphistry Hub and your own self-hosted servers.

• Query graphs with GFQL: Use GFQL, the first dataframe-native graph query language, to ask relationship questions that are difficult for tabular tools and without requiring a database.

• graphistry[ai]: Call streamlined graph ML & AI methods to benefit from clustering, UMAP embeddings, graph neural networks, automatic feature engineering, and more.

• Visualize & explore large graphs: In just a few minutes, create stunning interactive visualizations with millions of edges and many point-and-click built-ins like drilldowns, timebars, and filtering. When ready, customize with Python, JavaScript, and REST APIs.

• Columnar & GPU acceleration: CPU-mode ingestion and wrangling is fast due to native use of Apache Arrow and columnar analytics, and the optional RAPIDS-based GPU mode delivers 100X+ speedups.

From global 10 banks, manufacturers, news agencies, and government agencies, to startups, game companies, scientists, biotechs, and NGOs, many teams are tackling their graph workloads with Graphistry.

Visualization quickstart

Quickly go from raw data to a styled and interactive Graphistry graph visualization:

import graphistry
import pandas as pd

# Raw data as Pandas CPU dataframes, cuDF GPU dataframes, Spark, ...
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'src': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carol'],
    'dst': ['Bob', 'Carol', 'Alice'],
    'friendship': [0.3, 0.95, 0.8]
})

# Bind
g1 = graphistry.edges(df, 'src', 'dst')

# Override styling defaults
g1_styled = g1.encode_edge_color('friendship', ['blue', 'red'], as_continuous=True)

# Connect: Free GPU accounts and self-hosting @ graphistry.com/get-started
graphistry.register(api=3, username='your_username', password='your_password')

# Upload for GPU server visualization session
g1_styled.plot()

PyGraphistry[AI] & GFQL quickstart - CPU & GPU

CPU graph pipeline combining graph ML, AI, mining, and visualization:

from graphistry import n, e, e_forward, e_reverse

# Graph analytics
g2 = g1.compute_igraph('pagerank')
assert 'pagerank' in g2._nodes.columns

# Graph ML/AI
g3 = g2.umap()
assert ('x' in g3._nodes.columns) and ('y' in g3._nodes.columns)

# Graph querying with GFQL
g4 = g3.chain([
    n(query='pagerank > 0.1'), e_forward(), n(query='pagerank > 0.1')
])
assert (g4._nodes.pagerank > 0.1).all()

# Upload for GPU server visualization session
g4.plot()

The automatic GPU modes require almost no code changes:

import cudf
from graphistry import n, e, e_forward, e_reverse

# Modified -- Rebind data as a GPU dataframe and swap in a GPU plugin call
g1_gpu = g1.edges(cudf.from_pandas(df))
g2 = g1_gpu.compute_cugraph('pagerank')

# Unmodified -- Automatic GPU mode for all ML, AI, GFQL queries, & visualization APIs
g3 = g2.umap()
g4 = g3.chain([
    n(query='pagerank > 0.1'), e_forward(), n(query='pagerank > 0.1')
])
g4.plot()
