parse_multiline_adjlist

parse_multiline_adjlist(lines, comments='#', delimiter=None, create_using=None, nodetype=None, edgetype=None)[source]

Parse lines of a multiline adjacency list representation of a graph.

Parameters:
  • lines (list or iterator of strings) – Input data in multiline adjlist format
  • create_using (NetworkX graph container) – Use given NetworkX graph for holding nodes or edges.
  • nodetype (Python type, optional) – Convert nodes to this type.
  • comments (string, optional) – Marker for comment lines
  • delimiter (string, optional) – Separator for node labels. The default is whitespace.
  • create_using – Use given NetworkX graph for holding nodes or edges.
Returns:

G – The graph corresponding to the lines in multiline adjacency list format.
Return type:

NetworkX graph

Examples

>>> lines = ['1 2',
...          "2 {'weight':3, 'name': 'Frodo'}",
...          "3 {}",
...          "2 1",
...          "5 {'weight':6, 'name': 'Saruman'}"]
>>> G = nx.parse_multiline_adjlist(iter(lines), nodetype = int)
>>> G.nodes()
[1, 2, 3, 5]
