breadth_first_order(csgraph, i_start, directed=True, return_predecessors=True)
Note that a breadth-first order is not unique, but the tree which it generates is unique.
The N x N compressed sparse graph. The input csgraph will be converted to csr format for the calculation.
The index of starting node.
If True (default), then operate on a directed graph: only move from point i to point j along paths csgraph[i, j]. If False, then find the shortest path on an undirected graph: the algorithm can progress from point i to j along csgraph[i, j] or csgraph[j, i].
If True (default), then return the predecesor array (see below).
The breadth-first list of nodes, starting with specified node. The length of node_array is the number of nodes reachable from the specified node.
Returned only if return_predecessors is True. The length-N list of predecessors of each node in a breadth-first tree. If node i is in the tree, then its parent is given by predecessors[i]. If node i is not in the tree (and for the parent node) then predecessors[i] = -9999.
Return a breadth-first ordering starting with specified node.

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
