dgl.DGLGraph.canonical_etypes

property DGLGraph.canonical_etypes

Return all the canonical edge types in the graph.

A canonical edge type is a string triplet (str, str, str) for source node type, edge type and destination node type.

Returns

All the canonical edge type triplets in a list.

Return type

list[(str, str, str)]

Notes

DGL internally assigns an integer ID for each edge type. The returned edge type names are sorted according to their IDs.

Examples

The following example uses PyTorch backend.

>>> import dgl
>>> import torch

>>> g = dgl.heterograph({
...     ('user', 'follows', 'user'): (torch.tensor([0, 1]), torch.tensor([1, 2])),
...     ('user', 'follows', 'game'): (torch.tensor([0, 1, 2]), torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])),
...     ('user', 'plays', 'game'): (torch.tensor([1, 3]), torch.tensor([2, 3]))
... })
>>> g.canonical_etypes
[('user', 'follows', 'user'),
 ('user', 'follows', 'game'),
 ('user', 'plays', 'game')]
