convert_node_labels_to_integers

convert_node_labels_to_integers(G, first_label=0, ordering='default', label_attribute=None)[source]

Return a copy of the graph G with the nodes relabeled using consecutive integers.

Parameters:
  • G (graph) – A NetworkX graph
  • first_label (int, optional (default=0)) – An integer specifying the starting offset in numbering nodes. The new integer labels are numbered first_label, ..., n-1+first_label.
  • ordering (string) – “default” : inherit node ordering from G.nodes() “sorted” : inherit node ordering from sorted(G.nodes()) “increasing degree” : nodes are sorted by increasing degree “decreasing degree” : nodes are sorted by decreasing degree
  • label_attribute (string, optional (default=None)) – Name of node attribute to store old label. If None no attribute is created.

Notes

Node and edge attribute data are copied to the new (relabeled) graph.
