octahedral_graph¶
- octahedral_graph(create_using=None)[source]¶
Returns the Platonic Octahedral graph.
The octahedral graph is the 6-node 12-edge Platonic graph having the connectivity of the octahedron [1]. If 6 couples go to a party, and each person shakes hands with every person except his or her partner, then this graph describes the set of handshakes that take place; for this reason it is also called the cocktail party graph [2].
- Parameters
- create_usingNetworkX graph constructor, optional (default=nx.Graph)
