Parameter Detail

outf

This is the prefix of the filename where the graph is saved. The extension is ".graph" and after the prefix the basename contains a numeric index that is incremented at each saving point. If not given, the graph is dumped on the standard output.

format

The name for the format of the output. Defaults to "neighborlist", which is a plain dump of neighbors. The class WireFromFile can read this format. Other supported formats are "chaco" to be used with Yehuda Koren's Embedder, "netmeter" to be used with Sergi Valverde's netmeter and also with pajek, "edgelist" that dumps one (directed) node pair in each line for each edge, "gml" that is a generic format of many graph tools, and "dot" that can be used with the graphviz package.
