Examples lacked proper documentation and clear structure, making them difficult to understand and learn from. Community detection examples needed verification.

Changes

Added comprehensive docstrings to 6 examples (571 lines added):

  • example_powerlaw_computation.py - Power-law distribution analysis
  • example_entanglement.py - Multilayer network entanglement metrics
  • example_manipulation.py - Network operations (9 numbered sections)
  • example_CBSSD.py - Semantic subgroup discovery workflow
  • example_n2v_embedding.py - Node2Vec embedding generation
  • example_visualization.py - Embedding-based layouts

Each example now includes:

  • Module-level docstring with learning objectives and prerequisites
  • Structured output with numbered sections and visual separators
  • Key takeaways summary at end
  • Installation guidance for missing dependencies

Before:

# compute and visualize powerlaw distributions (and other alternatives)
# SKIP_CI: external_deps

import networkx as nx
# ...code with no explanation...

After:

"""
Compute and Visualize Power-Law Distributions in Networks

Teaches:
- Fit and visualize power-law distributions on node degrees
- Compare power-law fitting on simple NetworkX graphs vs. multilayer networks
- Test for scale-free properties using built-in statistical tests

Prerequisites:
- mpmath library for power-law fitting: pip install mpmath
- Optional dataset: epigenetics.gpickle (from py3plex datasets)
"""

# Structured sections with clear headers
print("=" * 70)
print("[1] Analyzing power-law distribution on NetworkX graph...")
# ...well-documented code...

Verification

Community detection algorithms (Louvain, Leiden, DSL-based, Pipeline-based) all tested and working correctly.
