Returns the 3-regular Platonic Cubical Graph

Returns:
gGraph

A cubical graph with 8 nodes and 12 edges

Notes

The skeleton of the cube (the nodes and edges) form a graph, with 8 nodes, and 12 edges. It is a special case of the hypercube graph. It is one of 5 Platonic graphs, each a skeleton of its Platonic solid [cubical]. Such graphs arise in parallel processing in computers.
