Description
The degree sequence of a graph is a basic property that is studied in an introductory course on graph theory. There should be examples explaining how to compute the degree sequence of a given graph.

I will ask for more, if it isn't too much trouble. Could there be a small wrapper to (the better one) called degree_sequence as well? I realize this is very low priority. If the graph theory tour ever gets back up, this would be ideal to put in it as well.

Replying to kcrisman:

As I mentioned in my email to sage-devel, I'm unable to find a function or method in the graph theory module that computes the degree sequence of a given graph. So there is no function or method for wrapping, unless you can point me to such a method/function. On the other hand, are you suggesting that there be a method in the class GenericGraph called degree_sequence() that does exactly as its name implies? If so, then that could be done.

Nod.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant - wrapping the examples you provide, as it were. I don't have time to do this, unfortunately, though it should be pretty easy.

- Status changed from needs_work to needs_review
- Summary changed from graph theory: examples on degree sequences to graph theory: degree sequence function
The (new) patch trac_7564-degree-sequences.patch defines the method GenericGraph.degree_sequence() for computing the degree sequence of a graph.

Could it be possible to define in the same patch functions outdegree_sequence and indegree_sequence for DiGraphs? ? :-)

Y-E-S, yes! :-)
The patch trac_7564-degree-sequences.patch implements the following degree sequences:
- degree_sequence() --- the degree sequence of a (di)graph. This is implemented in the class GenericGraph.
- in_degree_sequence() --- the indegree sequence of a digraph. This is implemented in the class DiGraph.
- out_degree_sequence() --- the outdegree sequence of a digraph, also implemented in the class DiGraph.
I use the method names in_degree_sequence() and out_degree_sequence() to be consistent with how the graph theory module names the indegree and outdegree methods.

Excellent ! Approved :-)
Thank you for contributing to the Graph Section !! :-)

A patch written, reviewed and merged in 11 hours ? O_O
God O_O
The patch trac_7564-degree-sequences.patch adds two examples to the method GenericGraph.degree(), showcasing how to obtain the degree sequence of a graph using that method.
