    """Returns induced subgraph of neighbors centered at node n within
    a given radius.
    
    Parameters
    ----------
    G : graph
      A NetworkX Graph or DiGraph

    n : node 
      A single node 

    radius : number, optional
      Include all neighbors of distance<=radius from n.
      
    center : bool, optional
      If False, do not include center node in graph 

    undirected : bool, optional      
      If True use both in- and out-neighbors of directed graphs.

    distance : key, optional      
      Use specified edge data key as distance.  For example, setting
      distance='weight' will use the edge weight to measure the
      distance from the node n.

    Notes
    -----
    For directed graphs D this produces the "out" neighborhood
    or successors.  If you want the neighborhood of predecessors
    first reverse the graph with D.reverse().  If you want both
    directions use the keyword argument undirected=True.

    Node, edge, and graph attributes are copied to the returned subgraph.
