To remove in the future –– networkx.readwrite.multiline_adjlist
Read and write NetworkX graphs as multi-line adjacency lists.
The multi-line adjacency list format is useful for graphs with nodes that can be meaningfully represented as strings. With this format simple edge data can be stored but node or graph data is not.
The first label in a line is the source node label followed by the node degree d. The next d lines are target node labels and optional edge data. That pattern repeats for all nodes in the graph.
The graph with edges a-b, a-c, d-e can be represented as the following adjacency list (anything following the # in a line is a comment):
# example.multiline-adjlist a 2 b c d 1 e
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
