Create an example directed graph.#
This directed graph has one input node labeled in
and plotted in blue color
and one output node labeled out
and plotted in magenta color.
The other six nodes are classified as four supported
plotted in green color
and two unsupported
plotted in red color. The goal is computing a list
of subgraphs that contain only entirely supported
or unsupported
nodes.
