There are many kinds of random graphs, in that Graph lib I have added
few random generators, but you can add many more yourself, it's easy
(Then if you want you can send them back to be added to that lib, if
they are nice). Note that if you want to manage a LOT of nodes/arcs you
can use Boost Graph with Python.

It can be useful for small and medium sized graphs.

Right.

Graph exports in two common formats, like Dot and another. NetworkX
probably exports in Dot too. Look for Graphviz. And there is another
famous sofeware for huge graphs too.
