WHAT IS IT?

It is an implementation of the Watts and Strogatz Small World Algorithm. Mainly for example and discussion purposes.

HOW IT WORKS

First the nodes are created. Then a regular lattice of K nearest neighbours. Finally with a probability beta each link is rewired to a 'not-yet-neighbour' node with id > the current node.

See Watts and Strogatz Algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WattsandStrogatz_model

HOW TO USE IT

Set the number of nodes. Set the parameters K and Beta. Choose the radius of the layout.

THINGS TO NOTICE
