load_graph#
- graph_tool.load_graph(file_name, fmt='auto', ignore_vp=None, ignore_ep=None, ignore_gp=None)[source]#
Load a graph from
file_name
(which can be either a string or a file-like object).The format is guessed from
file_name
, or can be specified byfmt
, which can be either “gt”, “graphml”, “xml”, “dot” or “gml”. (Note that “graphml” and “xml” are synonyms).If provided, the parameters
ignore_vp
,ignore_ep
andignore_gp
, should contain a list of property names (vertex, edge or graph, respectively) which should be ignored when reading the file.Warning
The only file formats which are capable of perfectly preserving the internal property maps are “gt” and “graphml”. Because of this, they should be preferred over the other formats whenever possible.
