networkx.generators.lattice.grid_2d_graph

grid_2d_graph(m, n, periodic=False, create_using=None)[source]

Returns the two-dimensional grid graph.

The grid graph has each node connected to its four nearest neighbors.

Parameters:
  • m, n (int or iterable container of nodes) – If an integer, nodes are from range(n). If a container, elements become the coordinate of the nodes.
  • periodic (bool (default: False)) – If this is True the nodes on the grid boundaries are joined to the corresponding nodes on the opposite grid boundaries.
  • create_using (NetworkX graph (default: Graph())) – If provided this graph is cleared of nodes and edges and filled with the new graph. Usually used to set the type of the graph.
Returns:

The (possibly periodic) grid graph of the specified dimensions.

Return type:

NetworkX graph
