write_sparse6(G, path, nodes=None, header=True)[source]

Write graph G to given path in sparse6 format.

Parameters:
  • G (Graph (undirected))
  • path (file or string) – File or filename to write
  • nodes (list or iterable) – Nodes are labeled 0...n-1 in the order provided. If None the ordering given by G.nodes() is used.
  • header (bool) – If True add ‘>>sparse6<<’ string to head of data
Raises:

NetworkXError – If the graph is directed

Examples

>>> G = nx.Graph([(0, 1), (0, 1), (0, 1)])
>>> nx.write_sparse6(G, 'test.s6')
