dfs_edges

dfs_edges(G, source=None)[source]

Produce edges in a depth-first-search (DFS).

Parameters:
  • G (NetworkX graph)
  • source (node, optional) – Specify starting node for depth-first search and return edges in the component reachable from source.
Returns:

edges – A generator of edges in the depth-first-search.
Return type:

generator

Examples

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

Based on http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/PADS/DFS.py by D. Eppstein, July 2004.

If a source is not specified then a source is chosen arbitrarily and repeatedly until all components in the graph are searched.
