to_networkx_graph

to_networkx_graph(data, create_using=None, multigraph_input=False)

Make a NetworkX graph from a known data structure.

The preferred way to call this is automatically from the class constructor

>>> d = {0: {1: {"weight": 1}}}  # dict-of-dicts single edge (0,1)
>>> G = nx.Graph(d)

instead of the equivalent

>>> G = nx.from_dict_of_dicts(d)

Parameters:

dataobject to be converted

Current known types are:

any NetworkX graph dict-of-dicts dict-of-lists container (e.g. set, list, tuple) of edges iterator (e.g. itertools.chain) that produces edges generator of edges Pandas DataFrame (row per edge) 2D numpy array scipy sparse matrix pygraphviz agraph

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

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

multigraph_inputbool (default False)

If True and data is a dict_of_dicts, try to create a multigraph assuming dict_of_dict_of_lists. If data and create_using are both multigraphs then create a multigraph from a multigraph.
