MakeDirected[g]
constructs a directed graph from a given undirected graph g by replacing each undirected edge in g by two directed edges pointing in opposite directions.
Details and Options
- MakeDirected functionality is now available in the built-in Wolfram Language function DirectedGraph.
- To use MakeDirected, you first need to load the Combinatorica Package using Needs["Combinatorica`"].
- The local options associated with edges are not inherited by the corresponding directed edges.
- Calling the function with the tag All, as MakeDirected[g,All], ensures that local options associated with each edge are inherited by both corresponding directed edges.
