generate_edgelist(G, delimiter=' ', data=True)

Generate a single line of the graph G in edge list format.

Parameters:

• G (NetworkX graph) –
• delimiter (string, optional) – Separator for node labels
• data (bool or list of keys) – If False generate no edge data. If True use a dictionary representation of edge data. If a list of keys use a list of data values corresponding to the keys.

Returns:

lines – Lines of data in adjlist format.

Return type:

string

Examples

>>> G = nx.lollipop_graph(4, 3)
>>> G[1][2]['weight'] = 3
>>> G[3][4]['capacity'] = 12
>>> for line in nx.generate_edgelist(G, data=False):
...     print(line)
0 1
0 2
0 3
1 2
1 3
2 3
3 4
4 5
5 6

>>> for line in nx.generate_edgelist(G):
...     print(line)
0 1 {}
0 2 {}
0 3 {}
1 2 {'weight': 3}
1 3 {}
2 3 {}
3 4 {'capacity': 12}
4 5 {}
