Reference: Graph-Building API

mflowgen provides a Python library for building graphs in the construct.py for your design. In general, you will only use methods from the Graph and Node classes. The Edge class is used internally when you call the various methods that make connections between nodes in your graph.

Note that for general discussion, we use the words “step” and “node” interchangeably in the following documentation. The python code defines a Step class and a Node class which are aliases of each other. We recommend using the Node class. The Step class is deprecated.
