graph_clique_number(G, cliques=None)

The clique number of a graph is the size of the largest clique in the graph.

Notes

You should provide :None:None:`cliques` if you have already computed the list of maximal cliques, in order to avoid an exponential time search for maximal cliques.

Parameters

G : NetworkX graph

An undirected graph.

cliques : list

A list of cliques, each of which is itself a list of nodes. If not specified, the list of all cliques will be computed, as by find_cliques .

Returns

int

The size of the largest clique in G.

Returns the clique number of the graph.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
