bfs_edges

bfs_edges(G, source, reverse=False)[source]

Produce edges in a breadth-first-search starting at source.

Parameters:
  • G (NetworkX graph)
  • source (node) – Specify starting node for breadth-first search and return edges in the component reachable from source.
  • reverse (bool, optional) – If True traverse a directed graph in the reverse direction
Returns:

edges – A generator of edges in the breadth-first-search.

Return type:

generator

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(3)
>>> print(list(nx.bfs_edges(G,0)))
[(0, 1), (1, 2)]
