for a simple graph, trace_faces() gives the expected answer for the faces of a planar graph, as shown below.
import networkx as nx lat = nx.Graph() lat.add_edge(1,2) lat.add_edge(2,3) lat.add_edge(2,5) lat.add_edge(3,4) lat.add_edge(3,5) lat.add_edge(4,5) nodes_dict = {} nodes_dict[1]=(0,0) nodes_dict[2]=(0,1) nodes_dict[3]=(0,2) nodes_dict[4]=(0,3) nodes_dict[5]=(1,2) S = Graph(lat) S.show(vertex_size = 600, pos = nodes_dict) S.is_planar(set_embedding = True) s_emb = S.get_embedding() faces = S.trace_faces(s_emb) print faces: [[(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 2), (2, 1)], [(5, 4), (4, 3), (3, 5)], [(2, 5), (5, 3), (3, 2)]] There are three faces: one between nodes 2,3 and 5, another between nodes 3,4 and 5,and the outside face of all nodes. but when I extend the graph: lat = nx.Graph() lat.add_edge(1,2) lat.add_edge(2,3) lat.add_edge(2,5) lat.add_edge(3,4) lat.add_edge(3,5) lat.add_edge(3,9) lat.add_edge(4,5) lat.add_edge(4,6) lat.add_edge(4,7) lat.add_edge(4,8) lat.add_edge(4,9) lat.add_edge(5,6) lat.add_edge(6,7) lat.add_edge(7,8) lat.add_edge(8,9) nodes_dict = {} nodes_dict[1]=(0,0) nodes_dict[2]=(0,1) nodes_dict[3]=(0,2) nodes_dict[4]=(0,3) nodes_dict[5]=(1,2) nodes_dict[6]=(1,3) nodes_dict[7]=(0,4) nodes_dict[8]=(-1,4) nodes_dict[9]=(-1,3) S = Graph(lat) S.show(vertex_size = 600, pos = nodes_dict) S.is_planar(set_embedding = True) s_emb = S.get_embedding() faces = S.trace_faces(s_emb) print faces [[(6, 4), (4, 7), (7, 6)], [(3, 2), (2, 5), (5, 3)], [(5, 4), (4, 6), (6, 5)], [(7, 8), (8, 9), (9, 3), (3, 5), (5, 6), (6, 7)], [(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 2), (2, 1)], [(4, 9), (9, 8), (8, 4)], [(7, 4), (4, 8), (8, 7)], [(3, 9), (9, 4), (4, 3)]] the face that should exist between just nodes 3,4 and 5 is not found, it's replaced with a face around nodes 1,2,3,4,5. Any ideas what is wrong, or other ways of getting an accurate list of the faces in a planar graph? I'm using 'Sage Version 5.13, Release Date: 2013-12-15' I realize that trace_faces has been deprecated to just faces() per this discussion: http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15551 but when I run S.faces() I get the error AttributeError: 'Graph' object has no attribute 'faces' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
