CompleteGraph

CompleteGraph[n]

gives the complete graph with n vertices .

CompleteGraph[{n1,n2,,nk}]

gives the complete k-partite graph with n1+n2++nk vertices .

Details and Options

  • CompleteGraph generates a Graph object.
  • CompleteGraph[n] gives a graph with n vertices and an edge between every pair of vertices.
  • CompleteGraph[{n1,n2,,nk}] gives a graph with n1++nk vertices partitioned into disjoint sets Vi with ni vertices each and edges between all vertices in different sets Vi and Vj, but no edges between vertices in the same set Vi.
  • CompleteGraph[,DirectedEdges->True] gives a directed complete graph.
  • CompleteGraph takes the same options as Graph.
