Creating Graphs in Python
Learn how to create, visualize, and manipulate weighted graphs in Python using the NetworkX library.
We'll cover the following...
Create a basic graph
To create a basic graph in Python, we can use the popular library NetworkX. It provides various functionalities for creating, analyzing, and manipulating graphs.
Let's consider the basic graph as follows:
Press + to interact
Graph with two nodes (A and B) and one edge connecting them (edge A-B)
We can use the following code to create our graph:
Press + to interact
import networkx as nx# Create an empty graphG = nx.Graph()# Add nodes to the graphG.add_node("A")G.add_node("B")# Add edges between nodesG.add_edge("A", "B")
Line 4: We create an empty graph using the
nx.Graph()function.Lines 7–8: We add two nodes A and B using the
add_node()function.Line 11: We add an edge between nodes A and B ...
