dodecahedral_graph

dodecahedral_graph(create_using=None)[source]

Returns the Platonic Dodecahedral graph.

The dodecahedral graph has 20 nodes and 30 edges. The skeleton of the dodecahedron forms a graph. It is one of 5 Platonic graphs [1]. It can be described in LCF notation as: [10, 7, 4, -4, -7, 10, -4, 7, -7, 4]^2 [2].

Parameters
create_usingNetworkX graph constructor, optional (default=nx.Graph)

Graph type to create. If graph instance, then cleared before populated.

Returns
Gnetworkx Graph
