(path, node_type=None, relabel=False, version='1.2draft')[source]¶ Read graph in GEXF format from path.
“GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format) is a language for describing complex networks structures, their associated data and dynamics” 1.
- Parameters
path (file or string) – File or file name to read. File names ending in .gz or .bz2 will be decompressed.
node_type (Python type (default: None)) – Convert node ids to this type if not None.
relabel (bool (default: False)) – If True relabel the nodes to use the GEXF node “label” attribute instead of the node “id” attribute as the NetworkX node label.
version (string (default: 1.2draft))
Version of GEFX File Format (see https (//gephi.org/gexf/format/schema.html)) – Supported values: “1.1draft”, “1.2draft”
- Returns
graph – If no parallel edges are found a Graph or DiGraph is returned. Otherwise a MultiGraph or MultiDiGraph is returned.
- Return type
NetworkX graph
Notes
This implementation does not support mixed graphs (directed and undirected edges together).
