all_pairs_dijkstra_path_length

all_pairs_dijkstra_path_length(G, cutoff=None, weight='weight')[source]

Compute shortest path lengths between all nodes in a weighted graph.

Parameters:
  • G (NetworkX graph) –
  • weight (string, optional (default='weight')) – Edge data key corresponding to the edge weight
  • cutoff (integer or float, optional) – Depth to stop the search. Only paths of length <= cutoff are returned.
Returns:

distance – Dictionary, keyed by source and target, of shortest path lengths.

Return type:

dictionary

Examples

>>> G=nx.path_graph(5)
>>> length=nx.all_pairs_dijkstra_path_length(G)
>>> print(length[1][4])
3
>>> length[1]
{0: 1, 1: 0, 2: 1, 3: 2, 4: 3}

Notes

Edge weight attributes must be numerical. Distances are calculated as sums of weighted edges traversed.

The dictionary returned only has keys for reachable node pairs.
