[Graphs.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/Graphs.jl) is a good package for constructing graphs. You can build them in various ways, by adding vertices and edges, from matrices, etc.

For drawing graphs, there are a number of packages that display graphs made with Graphs.jl:

- [TikzGraphs.jl](https://github.com/sisl/TikzGraphs.jl): backend: Tikz/Latex
- [GraphPlot.jl](https://juliagraphs.org/GraphPlot.jl/): backend: Compose.jl
- [SGtSNEpi.jl](https://github.com/fcdimitr/SGtSNEpi.jl): backend: Makie.jl
- [GraphRecipes.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/GraphRecipes.jl): backend: Plots.jl
- [GraphMakie.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/GraphMakie.jl): backend: Makie.jl
- [Karnak.jl](https://github.com/cormullion/Karnak.jl): backend: Luxor.jl
