generate_graph6(G, nodes=None, header=True)[source]¶

Generate graph6 format string from a simple undirected graph.

Parameters:	G (Graph (undirected)) – nodes (list or iterable) – Nodes are labeled 0...n-1 in the order provided. If None the ordering given by G.nodes() is used. header (bool) – If True add ‘>>graph6<<’ string to head of data
Returns:	s – String in graph6 format
Return type:	string
Raises:	NetworkXError – If the graph is directed or has parallel edges

Examples

>>> G = nx.Graph([(0, 1)])
>>> nx.generate_graph6(G)
'>>graph6<<A_'

Notes

The format does not support edge or node labels, parallel edges or self loops. If self loops are present they are silently ignored.
