Description (last modified by )
It is often useful to subdivide the edges of a graph, so there should be a function in Sage for this.
When an edge e between u and v is subdivided in a DiGraph?, perhaps the best thing to do would be to name the new vertices as (e, 0), (e, 1), (e, 2), etc ...
We are left with a similar problem concerning the Graphs and here I have to admit I do not know which name to use without inducing some orientation..
This being said, it has to be done ! :-)

In the docs, you say that the following are valid forms:
G.add_edge( 1, 2, 8 )
G.add_edge( (1, 2), 8 )
However, reading the code seems to indicate that it should be subdivide_edge, not add_edge.

Indeed. Fixed :-)

I just applied this patch on top of #7608, and there was nothing wrong to report :-)

"If the given edge is labelled with l
, all the edges created by the subdivision will have the same label."
... You should also specify what happens to labels when l
is not given. In addition, you should have all these cases doctested.

That said, all tests pass. So once the above is addressed, I'll probably be happy.

What about this ? :-)

I don't think this quite works as advertised. If I have edge (u, v, 1)
and I do G.subdivide_edge((u, v, 2), 5)
, then the edge (u, v, 1)
is never deleted.
Is the input label the new label, or the label of the existing edge?
Maybe there should be a new_label
argument instead? I'm not sure the best way to approach this, and I'm interested in your opinion.

Oh... The behaviour I had in mind was rather to raise an ValueError? excetion saying : edge(u,v,2) does not exist. I really think of this as a topological method, so the user is expected to relabel his edges later if there is any need of it. I really wanted the edge to be "split" into several parts, all bearing the same label.
What would you think about it ? I'll update the patch to match this behaviour, just because it is easy to do so, though if you don't like it we can still remove it ! :-)

Replying to ncohen:

Thanks for clarifying. I've tried to make this clear in the documentation. If you approve of my referee patch, please set the ticket to positive review.
