"""
An example using networkx.Graph().

miles_graph() returns an undirected graph over the 128 US cities from
the datafile miles_dat.txt. The cities each have location and population
data.  The edges are labeled with the distance betwen the two cities.

This example is described in Section 1.1 in Knuth's book [1,2].
