Graph6

Graph6

Read and write graphs in graph6 format.

Format

“graph6 and sparse6 are formats for storing undirected graphs in a compact manner, using only printable ASCII characters. Files in these formats have text type and contain one line per graph.”

See http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/data/formats.txt for details.

parse_graph6(string)	Read a simple undirected graph in graph6 format from string.
read_graph6(path)	Read simple undirected graphs in graph6 format from path.
generate_graph6(G[, nodes, header])	Generate graph6 format string from a simple undirected graph.
write_graph6(G, path[, nodes, header])	Write a simple undirected graph to path in graph6 format.
