+_Graphs.jl_ implements numerous graph generators, including random graph generators, constructors for classic graphs, numerous small graphs with familiar topologies, and random and static graphs embedded in Euclidean space. An empty simple Graph can be constructed using `g = SimpleGraph()` and similary `g = SimpleDiGraph()` for directed graphs.
 See [Generators for common graphs](@ref) for a complete list of available templates.
