SYNOPSIS

botch-graph-neighborhood [options] [ingraph] [outgraph] --center CENTER [CENTER ...]

DESCRIPTION

Extract the neighborhood around a center vertex of a graph in GraphML or dot format.

The --center option is mandatory. Since it can take more than one argument, it has to come after the positional arguments.

If either (or both) of the positional arguments is/are omitted, then read GraphML or dot from standard input and/or write GraphML or dot to standard output, respectively. Passing a '-' as either argument, explicitly specifies to read the input from standard input and write the output to standard output, respectively.

The input graph type will be determined automatically. If the output graph is given as a filename, then the output type will be GraphML if the filename ends with .xml and dot if the filename ends with .dot. If the output is done on standard output then it will happen in the same format as the input graph.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

--depth=DEPTH

range of neighborhood to extract (Default: 1)

--center=CENTER [CENTER ...]

key:value pairs to match the center vertex

The special key "__ID__" allows one to select the unique vertex identifier.
