+Personalized PageRank on a grid

+This example demonstrates how to calculate and visualize personalized PageRank on a grid. We use the :meth:`igraph.GraphBase.personalized_pagerank` method, and demonstrate the effects on a grid graph.

+# Then we set the nodes to prioritize, for example nodes with indices ``0`` and ``6``:
+reset_vector[0] = 1
+reset_vector[6] = 1

+# %%
+# Then we calculate the personalized PageRank:
+personalized_page_rank = g.personalized_pagerank(weights=None, damping=0.85, reset=reset_vector)
