Depth First Search

Basic algorithms for depth-first searching the nodes of a graph.

dfs_edges(G[, source, depth_limit])	Iterate over edges in a depth-first-search (DFS).
dfs_tree(G[, source, depth_limit])	Returns oriented tree constructed from a depth-first-search from source.
dfs_predecessors(G[, source, depth_limit])	Returns dictionary of predecessors in depth-first-search from source.
dfs_successors(G[, source, depth_limit])	Returns dictionary of successors in depth-first-search from source.
dfs_preorder_nodes(G[, source, depth_limit])	Generate nodes in a depth-first-search pre-ordering starting at source.
dfs_postorder_nodes(G[, source, depth_limit])	Generate nodes in a depth-first-search post-ordering starting at source.
dfs_labeled_edges(G[, source, depth_limit])	Iterate over edges in a depth-first-search (DFS) labeled by type.

Breadth First Search

Basic algorithms for breadth-first searching the nodes of a graph.

bfs_edges(G, source[, reverse, depth_limit, …])	Iterate over edges in a breadth-first-search starting at source.
bfs_tree(G, source[, reverse, depth_limit, …])	Returns an oriented tree constructed from of a breadth-first-search starting at source.
bfs_predecessors(G, source[, depth_limit, …])	Returns an iterator of predecessors in breadth-first-search from source.
bfs_successors(G, source[, depth_limit, …])	Returns an iterator of successors in breadth-first-search from source.
descendants_at_distance(G, source, distance)	Returns all nodes at a fixed distance from source in G.
