2fgxlike
2fgxlike is an open-source software project and concept used to describe a family of tools for constructing and visualizing two-factor graph-like structures in education and research. The project centers on models where a base structure is augmented by a second factor, yielding outputs that resemble a two-factor composition of graphs. The name combines two ideas: a two-factor factorization (2F) and a gx-like visualization convention used in the documentation.
Origin and development: The project emerged in 2023 through collaboration among university researchers and open-source enthusiasts.
Features: 2fgxlike offers a graph generator, a visualization module, and a dataset of sample two-factor structures.
Applications: It is used to illustrate graph factorization concepts, explore two-factor graph properties, and prototype educational
Reception and future directions: The project attracts ongoing interest from educators and researchers seeking accessible graph
