Can graph-tool display an interactive graph?

graph-tool
#1

Hi,

I have some questions. Does graph-tool only allow creating images of the graph topology?
Or is there some interaction possible? And is the graphics tools part of the graph-tool?

I managed to use graph-tool via the docker container, but I only create snapshot pictures.
- thanks

(FWIW, I wrote some tool my self that displays an interactive graph: https://github.com/mwarning/GraphViewer/)

graph-tool also includes interactive visualization using GTK3, as described in the documentation.

It should work there too, you just need to setup the X connection:
