Spatial Graph
=============

A Spatial Graph is a flexible representation of spatial relationships
between observations, where nodes represent spatial units and edges
encode their relationships (such as contiguity or distance).

The Graph abstraction is intended as the successor to the traditional
spatial weights (W) framework, providing a more general and expressive
way to represent spatial structure. While spatial weights focused on
matrix-based representations, Graphs emphasize relationships and
connectivity in a more extensible form.

Users familiar with spatial weights can refer to the migration guide
below for details on how common weights-based workflows translate
to the Graph framework.
