# scipy.sparse.csgraph.depth_first_order

scipy.sparse.csgraph.depth_first_order(csgraph, i_start, directed=True, return_predecessors=True)

  Return a depth-first ordering starting with specified node.

  Note that a depth-first order is not unique. Furthermore, for graphs with cycles, the tree generated by a depth-first search is not unique either.

  New in version 0.11.0.

  Parameters
    csgraph array_like or sparse matrix

      The N x N compressed sparse graph. The input csgraph will be converted to csr format for the calculation.

    i_start int

      The index of starting node.

    directed bool, optional

      If True (default), then operate on a directed graph: only move from point i to point j along paths csgraph[i, j]. If False, then find the shortest path on an undirected graph: the algorithm can progress from point i to j along csgraph[i, j] or csgraph[j, i].

    return_predecessors bool, optional

      If True (default), then return the predecesor array (see below).

  Returns
    node_array ndarray, one dimension

      The depth-first list of nodes, starting with specified node. The length of node_array is the number of nodes reachable from the specified node.

    predecessors ndarray, one dimension

      Returned only if return_predecessors is True. The length-N list of predecessors of each node in a depth-first tree. If node i is in the tree, then its parent is given by predecessors[i]. If node i is not in the tree (and for the parent node) then predecessors[i] = -9999.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix
      >>> from scipy.sparse.csgraph import depth_first_order

      >>> graph = [
      ... [0, 1 , 2, 0],
      ... [0, 0, 0, 1],
      ... [2, 0, 0, 3],
      ... [0, 0, 0, 0]
      ... ]
      >>> graph = csr_matrix(graph)
      >>> print(graph)
        (0, 1)    1
        (0, 2)    2
        (1, 3)    1
        (2, 0)    2
        (2, 3)    3

      >>> depth_first_order(graph,0)
      (array([0, 1, 3, 2], dtype=int32), array([-9999,     0,     0,     1], dtype=int32))
