Base class for undirected graphs.
A Graph stores nodes and edges with optional data, or attributes.
Graphs hold undirected edges. Self loops are allowed but multiple
(parallel) edges are not.
Nodes can be arbitrary (hashable) Python objects with optional
key/value attributes. By convention `None` is not used as a node.
Edges are represented as links between nodes with optional
key/value attributes.
Parameters
----------
incoming_graph_data : input graph (optional, default: None)
Data to initialize graph. If None (default) an empty
graph is created. The data can be any format that is supported
by the to_networkx_graph() function, currently including edge list,
dict of dicts, dict of lists, NetworkX graph, NumPy matrix
or 2d ndarray, SciPy sparse matrix, or PyGraphviz graph.
attr : keyword arguments, optional (default= no attributes)
Attributes to add to graph as key=value pairs.

OrderedGraph
Examples
--------
Create an empty graph structure (a "null graph") with no nodes and
no edges.
>>> G = nx.Graph()
G can be grown in several ways.
**Nodes:**
Add one node at a time:
>>> G.add_node(1)
Add the nodes from any container (a list, dict, set or
even the lines from a file or the nodes from another graph).
>>> G.add_nodes_from([2, 3])
>>> G.add_nodes_from(range(100, 110))
>>> H = nx.path_graph(10)
>>> G.add_nodes_from(H)
In addition to strings and integers any hashable Python object
(except None) can represent a node, e.g. a customized node object,
or even another Graph.
>>> G.add_node(H)
**Edges:**
G can also be grown by adding edges.
Add one edge,
>>> G.add_edge(1, 2)
a list of edges,
>>> G.add_edges_from([(1, 2), (1, 3)])
or a collection of edges,
>>> G.add_edges_from(H.edges)
If some edges connect nodes not yet in the graph, the nodes
are added automatically. There are no errors when adding
nodes or edges that already exist.
**Attributes:**
Each graph, node, and edge can hold key/value attribute pairs
in an associated attribute dictionary (the keys must be hashable).
By default these are empty, but can be added or changed using
add_edge, add_node or direct manipulation of the attribute
dictionaries named graph, node and edge respectively.
>>> G = nx.Graph(day="Friday")
>>> G.graph
{'day': 'Friday'}
Add node attributes using add_node(), add_nodes_from() or G.nodes
>>> G.add_node(1, time='5pm')
>>> G.add_nodes_from([3], time='2pm')
>>> G.nodes[1]
{'time': '5pm'}
>>> G.nodes[1]['room'] = 714 # node must exist already to use G.nodes
>>> del G.nodes[1]['room'] # remove attribute
>>> list(G.nodes(data=True))
[(1, {'time': '5pm'}), (3, {'time': '2pm'})]
Add edge attributes using add_edge(), add_edges_from(), subscript
notation, or G.edges.
>>> G.add_edge(1, 2, weight=4.7 )
>>> G.add_edges_from([(3, 4), (4, 5)], color='red')
>>> G.add_edges_from([(1, 2, {'color': 'blue'}), (2, 3, {'weight': 8})])
>>> G[1][2]['weight'] = 4.7
>>> G.edges[1, 2]['weight'] = 4
Warning: we protect the graph data structure by making `G.edges` a
read-only dict-like structure. However, you can assign to attributes
in e.g. `G.edges[1, 2]`. Thus, use 2 sets of brackets to add/change
data attributes: `G.edges[1, 2]['weight'] = 4`
(For multigraphs: `MG.edges[u, v, key][name] = value`).
**Shortcuts:**
Many common graph features allow python syntax to speed reporting.
>>> 1 in G # check if node in graph
True
>>> [n for n in G if n < 3] # iterate through nodes
[1, 2]
>>> len(G) # number of nodes in graph
5
Often the best way to traverse all edges of a graph is via the neighbors.
The neighbors are reported as an adjacency-dict `G.adj` or as `G.adjacency()`
>>> for n, nbrsdict in G.adjacency():
... for nbr, eattr in nbrsdict.items():
... if 'weight' in eattr:
... # Do something useful with the edges
... pass
But the edges() method is often more convenient:
>>> for u, v, weight in G.edges.data('weight'):
... if weight is not None:
... # Do something useful with the edges
... pass
**Reporting:**
Simple graph information is obtained using object-attributes and methods.
Reporting typically provides views instead of containers to reduce memory
usage. The views update as the graph is updated similarly to dict-views.
The objects `nodes, `edges` and `adj` provide access to data attributes
via lookup (e.g. `nodes[n], `edges[u, v]`, `adj[u][v]`) and iteration
(e.g. `nodes.items()`, `nodes.data('color')`,
`nodes.data('color', default='blue')` and similarly for `edges`)
Views exist for `nodes`, `edges`, `neighbors()`/`adj` and `degree`.
For details on these and other miscellaneous methods, see below.
**Subclasses (Advanced):**
The Graph class uses a dict-of-dict-of-dict data structure.
The outer dict (node_dict) holds adjacency information keyed by node.
The next dict (adjlist_dict) represents the adjacency information and holds
edge data keyed by neighbor. The inner dict (edge_attr_dict) represents
the edge data and holds edge attribute values keyed by attribute names.
Each of these three dicts can be replaced in a subclass by a user defined
dict-like object. In general, the dict-like features should be
maintained but extra features can be added. To replace one of the
dicts create a new graph class by changing the class(!) variable
holding the factory for that dict-like structure. The variable names are
node_dict_factory, adjlist_inner_dict_factory, adjlist_outer_dict_factory,
and edge_attr_dict_factory.
node_dict_factory : function, (default: dict)
Factory function to be used to create the dict containing node
attributes, keyed by node id.
It should require no arguments and return a dict-like object
adjlist_outer_dict_factory : function, (default: dict)
Factory function to be used to create the outer-most dict
in the data structure that holds adjacency info keyed by node.
It should require no arguments and return a dict-like object.
adjlist_inner_dict_factory : function, (default: dict)
Factory function to be used to create the adjacency list
dict which holds edge data keyed by neighbor.
It should require no arguments and return a dict-like object
edge_attr_dict_factory : function, (default: dict)
Factory function to be used to create the edge attribute
dict which holds attrbute values keyed by attribute name.
It should require no arguments and return a dict-like object.
Examples
--------
Create a low memory graph class that effectively disallows edge
attributes by using a single attribute dict for all edges.
This reduces the memory used, but you lose edge attributes.
>>> class ThinGraph(nx.Graph):
... all_edge_dict = {'weight': 1}

>>> G.add_edge(2, 1)

It presents a dict-like interface as well with `G.nodes.items()`
iterating over `(node, nodedata)` 2-tuples and `G.nodes[3]['foo']`
providing the value of the `foo` attribute for node `3`. In addition,
a view `G.nodes.data('foo')` provides a dict-like interface to the

provides a default for nodes that do not have attribute `foo`.
Parameters
----------
data : string or bool, optional (default=False)
The node attribute returned in 2-tuple (n, ddict[data]).
If True, return entire node attribute dict as (n, ddict).
If False, return just the nodes n.
default : value, optional (default=None)
Value used for nodes that dont have the requested attribute.
Only relevant if data is not True or False.
Returns
-------
NodeView
Allows set-like operations over the nodes as well as node
attribute dict lookup and calling to get a NodeDataView.
A NodeDataView iterates over `(n, data)` and has no set operations.
A NodeView iterates over `n` and includes set operations.
When called, if data is False, an iterator over nodes.
Otherwise an iterator of 2-tuples (node, attribute value)
where the attribute is specified in `data`.
If data is True then the attribute becomes the
entire data dictionary.
Notes
-----
If your node data is not needed, it is simpler and equivalent
to use the expression ``for n in G``, or ``list(G)``.
Examples
--------
There are two simple ways of getting a list of all nodes in the graph:
>>> G = nx.path_graph(3)
>>> list(G.nodes)
[0, 1, 2]
>>> list(G)
[0, 1, 2]
To get the node data along with the nodes:
>>> G.add_node(1, time='5pm')
>>> G.nodes[0]['foo'] = 'bar'
>>> list(G.nodes(data=True))
[(0, {'foo': 'bar'}), (1, {'time': '5pm'}), (2, {})]
>>> list(G.nodes.data())
[(0, {'foo': 'bar'}), (1, {'time': '5pm'}), (2, {})]
>>> list(G.nodes(data='foo'))
[(0, 'bar'), (1, None), (2, None)]
>>> list(G.nodes.data('foo'))
[(0, 'bar'), (1, None), (2, None)]
>>> list(G.nodes(data='time'))
[(0, None), (1, '5pm'), (2, None)]
>>> list(G.nodes.data('time'))
[(0, None), (1, '5pm'), (2, None)]
>>> list(G.nodes(data='time', default='Not Available'))
[(0, 'Not Available'), (1, '5pm'), (2, 'Not Available')]
>>> list(G.nodes.data('time', default='Not Available'))
[(0, 'Not Available'), (1, '5pm'), (2, 'Not Available')]
If some of your nodes have an attribute and the rest are assumed
to have a default attribute value you can create a dictionary
from node/attribute pairs using the `default` keyword argument
to guarantee the value is never None::
>>> G = nx.Graph()
>>> G.add_node(0)
>>> G.add_node(1, weight=2)
>>> G.add_node(2, weight=3)
>>> dict(G.nodes(data='weight', default=1))

The EdgeView provides set-like operations on the edge-tuples

an EdgeDataView object which allows control of access to edge
attributes (but does not provide set-like operations).

attribute for edge `(u, v)` while
`for (u, v, c) in G.edges.data('color', default='red'):`
iterates through all the edges yielding the color attribute

nbunch : single node, container, or all nodes (default= all nodes)
The view will only report edges incident to these nodes.
data : string or bool, optional (default=False)

If True, return edge attribute dict in 3-tuple (u, v, ddict).

A view of edge attributes, usually it iterates over (u, v)

Use Python's `copy.deepcopy` for new containers.
If `as_view` is True then a view is returned instead of a copy.
Notes
-----
All copies reproduce the graph structure, but data attributes
may be handled in different ways. There are four types of copies
of a graph that people might want.
Deepcopy -- The default behavior is a "deepcopy" where the graph
structure as well as all data attributes and any objects they might
contain are copied. The entire graph object is new so that changes
in the copy do not affect the original object. (see Python's
copy.deepcopy)
Data Reference (Shallow) -- For a shallow copy the graph structure
is copied but the edge, node and graph attribute dicts are
references to those in the original graph. This saves
time and memory but could cause confusion if you change an attribute
in one graph and it changes the attribute in the other.
NetworkX does not provide this level of shallow copy.
Independent Shallow -- This copy creates new independent attribute
dicts and then does a shallow copy of the attributes. That is, any
attributes that are containers are shared between the new graph
and the original. This is exactly what `dict.copy()` provides.
You can obtain this style copy using:
>>> G = nx.path_graph(5)
>>> H = G.copy()
>>> H = G.copy(as_view=False)
>>> H = nx.Graph(G)
>>> H = G.fresh_copy().__class__(G)
Fresh Data -- For fresh data, the graph structure is copied while
new empty data attribute dicts are created. The resulting graph
is independent of the original and it has no edge, node or graph
attributes. Fresh copies are not enabled. Instead use:
>>> H = G.fresh_copy()
>>> H.add_nodes_from(G)
>>> H.add_edges_from(G.edges)
View -- Inspired by dict-views, graph-views act like read-only
versions of the original graph, providing a copy of the original
structure without requiring any memory for copying the information.
See the Python copy module for more information on shallow
and deep copies, https://docs.python.org/2/library/copy.html.
