EdgeAdd

EdgeAdd[g,e]

makes a graph by adding the edge e to the graph g.

EdgeAdd[g,{e1,e2,…}]

adds a collection of edges to g.

EdgeAdd[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details and Options

  • EdgeAdd is also known as edge insertion or edge creation.
  • EdgeAdd[g,e] will add the edge e and create a multiple edge if the edge already exists in g.
  • An undirected edge can be specified using vw or UndirectedEdge[v,w].
  • A directed edge can be specified using vw or DirectedEdge[v,w].
  • EdgeAdd works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.
