Graphene is the node graph engine that powers the Graphite editor.

It's hard to describe in one sentence precisely what Graphene is, because it's a technology that serves several roles when viewed from different angles. But to get a feel for what it encompasses, here is a list of some of its purposes:

In the Graphite editor UI, here is an example graph of artwork that imports no data but exports its content to the canvas:

The graph shown above represents the full artwork, meaning it's the root-level graph in its document. But there is nothing special about that graph compared to any subgraph. To avoid the confusion of calling it a graph or subgraph which comes with implications about user-facing concepts in the context of a document, we will use the less-ambiguous term **network** in the context of Graphene's internal concepts and code base.
