dfs_postorder_nodes

dfs_postorder_nodes(G, source=None, depth_limit=None)

Generate nodes in a depth-first-search post-ordering starting at source.

Parameters:

GNetworkX graph

sourcenode, optional

Specify starting node for depth-first search.

depth_limitint, optional (default=len(G))

Specify the maximum search depth.

Returns:

nodes: generator

A generator of nodes in a depth-first-search post-ordering.

Notes

If a source is not specified then a source is chosen arbitrarily and repeatedly until all components in the graph are searched.

The implementation of this function is adapted from David Eppstein’s depth-first search function in PADS, with modifications to allow depth limits based on the Wikipedia article “Depth-limited search”.

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(5)
>>> list(nx.dfs_postorder_nodes(G, source=0))
[4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
>>> list(nx.dfs_postorder_nodes(G, source=0, depth_limit=2))
[1, 0]
