It is true that most software and some websites use the more intuitive 
definition that you were expecting. However a large part of the theoretical 
literature uses the transposed definition, since it can be more convenient 
mathematically. See for instance Mark Newman's book.

I know — I use Godsil and Royle, who use the “correct” untransposed version in 
Algebraic Graph Theory ;o)

Because you cite the Wikipedia definition in your excellent documentation, I’d 
suggest documenting the convention you use explicitly, which is the transpose 
of Wiki’s (current) definition.
