-
dfs_edges
(G, source=None, depth_limit=None)[source]¶ Iterate over edges in a depth-first-search (DFS).
Perform a depth-first-search over the nodes of G and yield the edges in order. This may not generate all edges in G (see edge_dfs).
- Parameters
G (NetworkX graph)
source (node, optional) – Specify starting node for depth-first search and return edges in the component reachable from source.
depth_limit (int, optional (default=len(G))) – Specify the maximum search depth.
- Returns
edges – A generator of edges in the depth-first-search.
- Return type
generator
Examples
>>> G = nx.path_graph(5) >>> list(nx.dfs_edges(G, source=0)) [(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)] >>> list(nx.dfs_edges(G, source=0, depth_limit=2)) [(0, 1), (1, 2)]
Notes
If a source is not specified then a source is chosen arbitrarily and repeatedly until all components in the graph are searched.
The implementation of this function is adapted from David Eppstein’s depth-first search function in PADS, with modifications to allow depth limits based on the Wikipedia article “Depth-limited search”.
