============
Maximum Flow
============

This example shows how to construct a max flow on a directed graph with edge capacities using :meth:`igraph.Graph.maxflow`.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 11-15

.. code-block:: Python


    import igraph as ig
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt








.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 16-17

First, we generate a graph and assign a "capacity" to each edge:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 17-20

.. code-block:: Python

    g = ig.Graph(6, [(3, 2), (3, 4), (2, 1), (4, 1), (4, 5), (1, 0), (5, 0)], directed=True)
    g.es["capacity"] = [7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]








.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 21-22

To find the max flow, we can simply run:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 22-31

.. code-block:: Python

    flow = g.maxflow(3, 0, capacity=g.es["capacity"])

    print("Max flow:", flow.value)
    print("Edge assignments:", flow.flow)

    # Output:
    # Max flow: 6.0
    # Edge assignments [1.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0]





.. rst-class:: sphx-glr-script-out

 .. code-block:: none

    Max flow: 6.0
    Edge assignments: [1.0, 5.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0]




.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 32-33

Finally, we can plot the directed graph to look at the situation:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 33-42

.. code-block:: Python

    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ig.plot(
        g,
        target=ax,
        layout="circle",
        vertex_label=range(g.vcount()),
        vertex_color="lightblue",
    )
    plt.show()
