to_graph6_bytes
(G, nodes=None, header=True)[source]¶ Convert a simple undirected graph to bytes in graph6 format.
- Parameters
G (Graph (undirected))
nodes (list or iterable) – Nodes are labeled 0…n-1 in the order provided. If None the ordering given by
G.nodes()
is used.header (bool) – If True add ‘>>graph6<<’ bytes to head of data.
- Raises
NetworkXNotImplemented – If the graph is directed or is a multigraph.
ValueError – If the graph has at least
2 ** 36
nodes; the graph6 format is only defined for graphs of order less than2 ** 36
.
Examples
>>> nx.to_graph6_bytes(nx.path_graph(2)) b'>>graph6<<A_\n'

Notes
The returned bytes end with a newline character.
The format does not support edge or node labels, parallel edges or self loops. If self loops are present they are silently ignored.
