To NetworkX Graph

This module provides functions to convert NetworkX graphs to and from other formats.

The preferred way of converting data to a NetworkX graph is through the graph constuctor. The constructor calls the to_networkx_graph() function which attempts to guess the input type and convert it automatically.

Examples

Create a 10 node random graph from a numpy matrix

>>> import numpy
>>> a=numpy.reshape(numpy.random.random_integers(0,1,size=100),(10,10))
>>> D=nx.DiGraph(a) 

or equivalently

>>> D=nx.to_networkx_graph(a,create_using=nx.DiGraph()) 

Create a graph with a single edge from a dictionary of dictionaries

>>> d={0: {1: 1}} # dict-of-dicts single edge (0,1)
>>> G=nx.Graph(d)
