Examples

Basic Examples

Retrieve the graph:

In[1]:=
ResourceData["Power Grid Network"]
Out[1]=

Summary properties:

In[2]:=
ResourceData["Power Grid Network", All]["Summary"]
Out[2]=

Basic Applications

Show the most connected vertex:

In[3]:=
g = ResourceData["Power Grid Network"];
In[4]:=
most = First[ Part[VertexList[g], Ordering[DegreeCentrality[g], All, Greater]]]
Out[4]=
In[5]:=
HighlightGraph[ NeighborhoodGraph[g, most, VertexLabels -> Automatic], most, PlotTheme -> "Web"]
Out[5]=
