single_source_shortest_path_length

single_source_shortest_path_length(G, source, cutoff=None)[source]

Compute the shortest path lengths from source to all reachable nodes.

Parameters:
  • G (NetworkX graph)
  • source (node) – Starting node for path
  • cutoff (integer, optional) – Depth to stop the search. Only paths of length <= cutoff are returned.
Returns:

lengths – (target, shortest path length) iterator

Return type:

iterator

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(5)
>>> length = nx.single_source_shortest_path_length(G, 0)
>>> dict(length)
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4}
