Pygraphviz Attributes

An example showing how to use the interface to the pygraphviz AGraph class to convert to and from graphviz.

Also see the pygraphviz documentation and examples at http://pygraphviz.github.io/

Out:

edges
[('1', '2', {'color': 'red'}), ('2', '3', {'color': 'red'})]
default graph attributes
{'graph': {}, 'node': {}, 'edge': {'color': ''}}
node node attributes
['1', '2', '3', '4']
