dgl.DGLGraph
=====================================================

.. currentmodule:: dgl
.. class:: DGLGraph

    Class for storing graph structure and node/edge feature data.

    There are a few ways to create a DGLGraph:

    * To create a homogeneous graph from Tensor data, use :func:`dgl.graph`.
    * To create a heterogeneous graph from Tensor data, use :func:`dgl.heterograph`.
    * To create a graph from other data sources, use ``dgl.*`` create ops. See
      :ref:`api-graph-create-ops`.

    Read the user guide chapter :ref:`guide-graph` for an in-depth explanation about its
    usage.

Querying metagraph structure
----------------------------

when the graph is heterogeneous.
