    r"""
    Generate a random graph, with a given degree distribution and correlation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    N : int
        Number of vertices in the graph.
    deg_sampler : function
        A degree sampler function which is called without arguments, and returns
        a tuple of ints representing the in and out-degree of a given vertex (or
        a single int for undirected graphs, representing the out-degree). This
        function is called once per vertex, but may be called more times, if the
        degree sequence cannot be used to build a graph.

        Optionally, you can also pass a function which receives one or two
        arguments: If ``blockmodel == None``, the single argument passed will
        be the index of the vertex which will receive the degree.
        If ``blockmodel != None``, the first value passed will be the vertex
        index, and the second will be the block value of the vertex.
    deg_corr : function (optional, default: ``None``)
        A function which gives the degree correlation of the graph. It should be
        callable with two parameters: the in,out-degree pair of the source
        vertex an edge, and the in,out-degree pair of the target of the same
        edge (for undirected graphs, both parameters are single values). The
        function should return a number proportional to the probability of such
        an edge existing in the generated graph.

        If ``blockmodel != None``, the value passed to the function will be the
        block value of the respective vertices, not the in/out-degree pairs.
    cache_probs : bool (optional, default: ``True``)
        If ``True``, the probabilities returned by the ``deg_corr`` parameter
        will be cached internally. This is crucial for good performance, since
        in this case the supplied python function is called only a few times,
        and not at every attempted edge rewire move. However, in the case were
        the different parameter combinations to the probability function is very
        large, the memory requirements to keep the cache may be very large.
    directed : bool (optional, default: ``True``)
        Whether the generated graph should be directed.
    parallel_edges : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, parallel edges are allowed.
    self_loops : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, self-loops are allowed.
    blockmodel : list or :class:`~numpy.ndarray` or function (optional, default: ``None``)
        If supplied, the graph will be sampled from a blockmodel ensemble. If
        the value is a list or a :class:`~numpy.ndarray`, it must have
        ``len(block_model) == N``, and the values will define to which block
        each vertex belongs.

        If this value is a function, it will be used to sample the block
        types. It must be callable either with no arguments or with a single
        argument which will be the vertex index. In either case it must return
        a type compatible with the ``block_type`` parameter.
    block_type : string (optional, default: ``"int"``)
        Value type of block labels. Valid only if ``blockmodel != None``.
    degree_block : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, the degree of each vertex will be appended to block labels
        when constructing the blockmodel, such that the resulting block type
        will be a pair :math:`(r, k)`, where :math:`r` is the original block
        label.
    random : bool (optional, default: ``True``)
        If ``True``, the returned graph is randomized. Otherwise a deterministic
        placement of the edges will be used.
    mix_time : int (optional, default: ``10``)
        Number of edge sweeps to perform in order to mix the graph. This value
        is ignored if ``parallel_edges == self_loops == True`` and
        ``strat != "probabilistic"``.
    verbose : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, verbose information is displayed.

    Returns
    -------
    random_graph : :class:`~graph_tool.Graph`
        The generated graph.
    blocks : :class:`~graph_tool.PropertyMap`
        A vertex property map with the block values. This is only returned if
        ``blockmodel != None``.

    See Also
    --------
    random_rewire: in place graph shuffling

    Notes
    -----
    The algorithm makes sure the degree sequence is graphical (i.e. realizable)
    and keeps re-sampling the degrees if is not. With a valid degree sequence,
    the edges are placed deterministically, and later the graph is shuffled with
    the :func:`~graph_tool.generation.random_rewire` function, with the
    ``mix_time`` parameter passed as ``n_iter``.

    The complexity is :math:`O(V + E)` if parallel edges are allowed, and
    :math:`O(V + E \times\text{mix-time})` if parallel edges are not allowed.


    .. note ::

        If ``parallel_edges == False`` this algorithm only guarantees that the
        returned graph will be a random sample from the desired ensemble if
        ``mix_time`` is sufficiently large. The algorithm implements an
        efficient Markov chain based on edge swaps, with a mixing time which
        depends on the degree distribution and correlations desired. If degree
        correlations are provided, the mixing time tends to be larger.

        If ``strat == "probabilistic"``, the Markov chain still needs to be
        mixed, even if parallel edges and self-loops are allowed. In this case
        the Markov chain is implemented using the Metropolis-Hastings
        [metropolis-equations-1953]_ [hastings-monte-carlo-1970]_
        acceptance/rejection algorithm.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from numpy.random import randint, random, seed, poisson
    >>> from pylab import *
    >>> seed(43)

    This is a degree sampler which uses rejection sampling to sample from the
    distribution :math:`P(k)\propto 1/k`, up to a maximum.

    >>> def sample_k(max):
    ...     accept = False
    ...     while not accept:
    ...         k = randint(1,max+1)
    ...         accept = random() < 1.0/k
    ...     return k
    ...

    The following generates a random undirected graph with degree distribution
    :math:`P(k)\propto 1/k` (with k_max=40) and an *assortative* degree
    correlation of the form:

    .. math::

        P(i,k) \propto \frac{1}{1+|i-k|}

    >>> g = gt.random_graph(1000, lambda: sample_k(40),
    ...                     lambda i, k: 1.0 / (1 + abs(i - k)), directed=False,
    ...                     mix_time=100)
    >>> gt.scalar_assortativity(g, "out")
    (0.6435658697163692, 0.010420519538259333)

    The following samples an in,out-degree pair from the joint distribution:

    .. math::

        p(j,k) = \frac{1}{2}\frac{e^{-m_1}m_1^j}{j!}\frac{e^{-m_1}m_1^k}{k!} +
                 \frac{1}{2}\frac{e^{-m_2}m_2^j}{j!}\frac{e^{-m_2}m_2^k}{k!}

    with :math:`m_1 = 4` and :math:`m_2 = 20`.

    >>> def deg_sample():
    ...    if random() > 0.5:
    ...        return poisson(4), poisson(4)
    ...    else:
    ...        return poisson(20), poisson(20)
    ...

    The following generates a random directed graph with this distribution, and
    plots the combined degree correlation.

    >>> g = gt.random_graph(20000, deg_sample)
    >>>
    >>> hist = gt.combined_corr_hist(g, "in", "out")
    >>>
    >>> clf()
    >>> imshow(hist[0], interpolation="nearest")
    <...>
    >>> colorbar()
    <...>
    >>> xlabel("in-degree")
    <...>
    >>> ylabel("out-degree")
    <...>
    >>> savefig("combined-deg-hist.pdf")

    .. figure:: combined-deg-hist.*
        :align: center

        Combined degree histogram.

    A correlated directed graph can be build as follows. Consider the following
    degree correlation:

    .. math::

         P(j',k'|j,k)=\frac{e^{-k}k^{j'}}{j'!}
         \frac{e^{-(20-j)}(20-j)^{k'}}{k'!}

    i.e., the in->out correlation is "disassortative", the out->in correlation
    is "assortative", and everything else is uncorrelated.
    We will use a flat degree distribution in the range [1,20).

    >>> p = scipy.stats.poisson
    >>> g = gt.random_graph(20000, lambda: (sample_k(19), sample_k(19)),
    ...                     lambda a,b: (p.pmf(a[0], b[1]) *
    ...                                  p.pmf(a[1], 20 - b[0])),
    ...                     mix_time=100)

    Lets plot the average degree correlations to check.

    >>> clf()
    >>> axes([0.1,0.15,0.63,0.8])
    <...>
    >>> corr = gt.avg_neighbour_corr(g, "in", "in")
    >>> errorbar(corr[2][:-1], corr[0], yerr=corr[1], fmt="o-",
    ...         label=r"$\left<\text{in}\right>$ vs in")
    <...>
    >>> corr = gt.avg_neighbour_corr(g, "in", "out")
    >>> errorbar(corr[2][:-1], corr[0], yerr=corr[1], fmt="o-",
    ...         label=r"$\left<\text{out}\right>$ vs in")
    <...>
    >>> corr = gt.avg_neighbour_corr(g, "out", "in")
    >>> errorbar(corr[2][:-1], corr[0], yerr=corr[1], fmt="o-",
    ...          label=r"$\left<\text{in}\right>$ vs out")
    <...>
    >>> corr = gt.avg_neighbour_corr(g, "out", "out")
    >>> errorbar(corr[2][:-1], corr[0], yerr=corr[1], fmt="o-",
    ...          label=r"$\left<\text{out}\right>$ vs out")
    <...>
    >>> legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.01, 0.5), loc="center left", borderaxespad=0.)
    <...>
    >>> xlabel("Source degree")
    <...>
    >>> ylabel("Average target degree")
    <...>
    >>> savefig("deg-corr-dir.pdf")

    .. figure:: deg-corr-dir.*
        :align: center

        Average nearest neighbour correlations.


    **Blockmodels**


    The following example shows how a stochastic blockmodel
    [holland-stochastic-1983]_ [karrer-stochastic-2011]_ can be generated. We
    will consider a system of 10 blocks, which form communities. The connection
    probability will be given by

    >>> def corr(a, b):
    ...    if a == b:
    ...        return 0.999
    ...    else:
    ...        return 0.001

    The blockmodel can be generated as follows.

    >>> g, bm = gt.random_graph(1000, lambda: poisson(10), directed=False,
    ...                         blockmodel=lambda: randint(10), deg_corr=corr,
    ...                         mix_time=500)
    >>> gt.graph_draw(g, vertex_fill_color=bm, output="blockmodel.pdf")
    <...>

    .. figure:: blockmodel.*
        :align: center

        Simple blockmodel with 10 blocks.

    Shuffle the graph in-place.

    If ``strat != "erdos"``, the degrees (either in or out) of each vertex are
    always the same, but otherwise the edges are randomly placed. If
    ``strat == "correlated"``, the degree correlations are also maintained: The
    new source and target of each edge both have the same in and out-degree. If
    ``strat == "probabilistic"``, then edges are rewired according to the degree
    correlation given by the parameter ``deg_corr``.

    Parameters
    ----------
    g : :class:`~graph_tool.Graph`
        Graph to be shuffled. The graph will be modified.
    strat : string (optional, default: ``"uncorrelated"``)
        If ``strat == "erdos"``, the resulting graph will be entirely random. If
        ``strat == "uncorrelated"`` only the degrees of the vertices will be
        maintained, nothing else. If ``strat == "correlated"``, additionally the
        new source and target of each edge both have the same in and out-degree.
        If ``strat == "probabilistic"``, than edges are rewired according to the
        degree correlation given by the parameter ``deg_corr``.
    n_iter : int (optional, default: ``1``)
        Number of iterations. If ``edge_sweep == True``, each iteration
        corresponds to an entire "sweep" over all edges. Otherwise this
        corresponds to the total number of edges which are randomly chosen for a
        swap attempt (which may repeat).
    edge_sweep : bool (optional, default: ``True``)
        If ``True``, each iteration will perform an entire "sweep" over the
        edges, where each edge is visited once in random order, and a edge swap
        is attempted.
    parallel : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, parallel edges are allowed.
    self_loops : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, self-loops are allowed.
    deg_corr : function (optional, default: ``None``)
        A function which gives the degree correlation of the graph. It should be
        callable with two parameters: the in,out-degree pair of the source
        vertex an edge, and the in,out-degree pair of the target of the same
        edge (for undirected graphs, both parameters are single values). The
        function should return a number proportional to the probability of such
        an edge existing in the generated graph. This parameter is ignored,
        unless ``strat == "probabilistic"``.

        If ``blockmodel != None``, the value passed to the function will be the
        block value of the respective vertices, not the in/out-degree pairs.
    cache_probs : bool (optional, default: ``True``)
        If ``True``, the probabilities returned by the ``deg_corr`` parameter
        will be cached internally. This is crucial for good performance, since
        in this case the supplied python function is called only a few times,
        and not at every attempted edge rewire move. However, in the case were
        the different parameter combinations to the probability function is very
        large, the memory requirements to keep the cache may be very large.
    blockmodel : :class:`~graph_tool.PropertyMap` (optional, default: ``None``)
        If supplied, the graph will be rewired to conform to a blockmodel
        ensemble. The value must be a vertex property map which defines the
        block of each vertex.
    ret_fail : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, the number of failed edge moves (due to parallel edges or
        self-loops) is returned.
    verbose : bool (optional, default: ``False``)
        If ``True``, verbose information is displayed.


    Returns
    -------
    fail_count : int
        Number of failed edge moves (due to parallel edges or self-loops).

    Notes
    -----
    This algorithm iterates through all the edges in the network and tries to
    swap its target or source with the target or source of another edge.

    .. note::

        If ``parallel_edges = False``, parallel edges are not placed during
        rewiring. In this case, the returned graph will be a uncorrelated sample
        from the desired ensemble only if ``n_iter`` is sufficiently large. The
        algorithm implements an efficient Markov chain based on edge swaps, with
        a mixing time which depends on the degree distribution and correlations
        desired. If degree probabilistic correlations are provided, the mixing
        time tends to be larger.

        If ``strat == "probabilistic"``, the Markov chain still needs to be
        mixed, even if parallel edges and self-loops are allowed. In this case
        the Markov chain is implemented using the Metropolis-Hastings
        [metropolis-equations-1953]_ [hastings-monte-carlo-1970]_
        acceptance/rejection algorithm.


    Each edge is tentatively swapped once per iteration, so the overall
    complexity is :math:`O(V + E \times \text{n-iter})`. If ``edge_sweep ==
    False``, the complexity becomes :math:`O(V + E + \text{n-iter})`.

    Notes
    -----

    A triangulation [cgal-triang]_ is a division of the convex hull of a point
    set into triangles, using only that set as triangle vertices.

    In simple triangulations (`type="simple"`), the insertion of a point is done
    by locating a face that contains the point, and splitting this face into
    three new faces (the order of insertion is therefore important). If the
    point falls outside the convex hull, the triangulation is restored by
    flips. Apart from the location, insertion takes a time O(1). This bound is
    only an amortized bound for points located outside the convex hull.

    Delaunay triangulations (`type="delaunay"`) have the specific empty sphere
    property, that is, the circumscribing sphere of each cell of such a
    triangulation does not contain any other vertex of the triangulation in its
    interior. These triangulations are uniquely defined except in degenerate
    cases where five points are co-spherical. Note however that the CGAL
    implementation computes a unique triangulation even in these cases.
