ring_of_cliques¶

ring_of_cliques(num_cliques, clique_size)[source]¶

Defines a “ring of cliques” graph.

A ring of cliques graph is consisting of cliques, connected through single links. Each clique is a complete graph.

Parameters

num_cliquesint: Number of cliques
clique_sizeint: Size of cliques

Returns

GNetworkX Graph: ring of cliques graph

Raises

NetworkXError: If the number of cliques is lower than 2 or if the size of cliques is smaller than 2.

Notes

The connected_caveman_graph graph removes a link from each clique to connect it with the next clique. Instead, the ring_of_cliques graph simply adds the link without removing any link from the cliques.

Examples

>>> G = nx.ring_of_cliques(8, 4)
