STAG Tools

The STAG library includes several command line tools for working with graph files. These tools are automatically installed with the library.

Generating random graphs

The stag_sbm command line tool can be used to generate random graphs from the symmetric stochastic block model.

Usage

stag_sbm [filename] [n] [k] [p] [q]

Creates a new EdgeList file named [filename] containing a graph drawn from the symmetric stochastic block model with parameters [n], [k], [p], and [q]. Equivalent to calling the stag::sbm method and saving the resulting graph as an EdgeList.

Converting between EdgeList and AdjacencyList

STAG supports two file formats (see Graph File Formats), and the stag_edge2adj and stag_adj2edge command line tools can be used to convert between them.

Usage

stag_edge2adj [edgelist] [adjacencylist]

Converts the EdgeList file to a new AdjacencyList file. Equivalent to calling stag::edgelist_to_adjacencylist.

stag_adj2edge [adjacencylist] [edgelist]

Converts the AdjacencyList file to a new EdgeList file. Equivalent to calling stag::adjacencylist_to_edgelist.
