    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.
    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.
    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.
    random : bool (optional, default: True)
        If True, the returned graph is randomized.
    verbose : bool (optional, default: False)
        If True, verbose information is displayed.

    Returns
    -------
    random_graph : :class:`~graph_tool.Graph`
        The generated graph.

    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.

    The complexity is :math:`O(V+E)` if parallel edges are allowed, and
    :math:`O(V+E\log N_k)` if parallel edges are not allowed, where :math:`N_k <
    V` is the number of different degrees sampled (or in,out-degree pairs).

    Examples
    --------

    >>> from numpy.random import randint, random, seed, poisson
    >>> from pylab import *
    >>> seed(42)

    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)
    >>> gt.scalar_assortativity(g, "out")
    (0.62318897995178757, 0.011431222500824638)

    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")
    >>> imshow(hist[0], interpolation="nearest")
    <...>
    >>> colorbar()
    <...>
    >>> xlabel("in-degree")
    <...>
    >>> ylabel("out-degree")
    <...>
    >>> savefig("combined-deg-hist.png")

    .. figure:: combined-deg-hist.png
        :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])))

    Lets plot the average degree correlations to check.

    r"""
    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", than 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`.
    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".
    verbose : bool (optional, default: False)
        If True, verbose information is displayed.

    See Also
    --------
    random_graph: random graph generation

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

    .. note::
        If `parallel_edges` = False, parallel edges are not placed during
        rewiring. In this case, for some special graphs it may be necessary to
        call the function more than once to obtain a graph which corresponds to
        a uniform sample from the ensemble. But typically, if the graph is
        sufficiently large, a single call should be enough.

    Each edge gets swapped at least once, so the overall complexity is
    :math:`O(E)`. If `strat` = "probabilistic" the complexity is
    :math:`O(E\log N_k)`,  where :math:`N_k < V` is the number of different
    degrees (or in,out-degree pairs).

def triangulation(points, type="simple", periodic=False):
    r"""
    Generate a 2D or 3D triangulation graph from a given point set.

    Parameters
    ----------
    points : :class:`~numpy.ndarray`
        Point set for the triangulation. It may be either a N x d array, where N
        is the number of points, and d is the space dimension (either 2 or 3).
    type : string (optional, default: 'simple')
        Type of triangulation. May be either 'simple' or 'delaunay'.
    periodic : bool (optional, default: False)
        If True, periodic boundary conditions will be used. This is parameter is
        valid only for type="delaunay", and is otherwise ignored.

    Returns
    -------
    triangulation_graph : :class:`~graph_tool.Graph`
        The generated graph.
    pos : :class:`~graph_tool.PropertyMap`
        Vertex property map with the Cartesian coordinates.

    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.

    >>> seed(42)
    >>> points = random((500,2))*4

    ...                          array(pos[e.target()]))**2))
    >>> b = gt.betweenness(g, weight=weight)

    >>> gt.graph_draw(g, pos=pos, pin=True, size=(8,8), vsize=0.07, vcolor=b[0],
