read_dot

read_dot(path)

Returns a NetworkX MultiGraph or MultiDiGraph from the dot file with the passed path.

If this file contains multiple graphs, only the first such graph is returned. All graphs _except_ the first are silently ignored.

Parameters:

pathstr or file

Filename or file handle.

Returns:

GMultiGraph or MultiDiGraph

A MultiGraph or MultiDiGraph.

Notes

Use G = nx.Graph(nx.nx_pydot.read_dot(path)) to return a Graph instead of a MultiGraph.
