networkx.linalg.graphmatrix.adjacency_matrix¶

adjacency_matrix(G, nodelist=None, weight='weight')[source]¶

Returns adjacency matrix of G.

Parameters

G (graph) – A NetworkX graph
nodelist (list, optional) – The rows and columns are ordered according to the nodes in nodelist. If nodelist is None, then the ordering is produced by G.nodes().
weight (string or None, optional (default=’weight’)) – The edge data key used to provide each value in the matrix. If None, then each edge has weight 1.

Returns

A – Adjacency matrix representation of G.

Return type

SciPy sparse matrix

Notes

For directed graphs, entry i,j corresponds to an edge from i to j.

If you want a pure Python adjacency matrix representation try networkx.convert.to_dict_of_dicts which will return a dictionary-of-dictionaries format that can be addressed as a sparse matrix.

For MultiGraph/MultiDiGraph with parallel edges the weights are summed. See to_numpy_matrix for other options.

The convention used for self-loop edges in graphs is to assign the diagonal matrix entry value to the edge weight attribute (or the number 1 if the edge has no weight attribute). If the alternate convention of doubling the edge weight is desired the resulting Scipy sparse matrix can be modified as follows:

>>> import scipy as sp
>>> G = nx.Graph([(1,1)])
>>> A = nx.adjacency_matrix(G)
>>> print(A.todense())
[[1]]
>>> A.setdiag(A.diagonal()*2)
>>> print(A.todense())
[[2]]
