Notes
-----
The variable create_using should be a Graph Constructor or a
"graph"-like object. Constructors, e.g. `nx.Graph` or `nx.MultiGraph`
will be used to create the returned graph. "graph"-like objects
will be cleared (nodes and edges will be removed) and refitted as
an empty "graph" with nodes specified in n. This capability
is useful for specifying the class-nature of the resulting empty
"graph" (i.e. Graph, DiGraph, MyWeirdGraphClass, etc.).
The variable create_using has three main uses:
Firstly, the variable create_using can be used to create an
empty digraph, multigraph, etc. For example,
>>> n = 10
>>> G = nx.empty_graph(n, create_using=nx.DiGraph)
will create an empty digraph on n nodes.
Secondly, one can pass an existing graph (digraph, multigraph,
etc.) via create_using. For example, if G is an existing graph
(resp. digraph, multigraph, etc.), then empty_graph(n, create_using=G)
will empty G (i.e. delete all nodes and edges using G.clear())
and then add n nodes and zero edges, and return the modified graph.
Thirdly, when constructing your home-grown graph creation function
you can use empty_graph to construct the graph by passing a user
defined create_using to empty_graph. In this case, if you want the
default constructor to be other than nx.Graph, specify `default`.
>>> def mygraph(n, create_using=None):
