graphscope.nx.generators.small.octahedral_graph

graphscope.nx.generators.small.octahedral_graph(create_using=None)[source]

Returns the Platonic Octahedral graph.

The octahedral graph is the 6-node 12-edge Platonic graph having the connectivity of the octahedron [1]. If 6 couples go to a party, and each person shakes hands with every person except his or her partner, then this graph describes the set of handshakes that take place; for this reason it is also called the cocktail party graph [2].

Parameters:

create_using (NetworkX graph constructor, optional (default=nx.Graph)) – Graph type to create. If graph instance, then cleared before populated.

Returns:

G – Octahedral graph

Return type:

networkx Graph
