Of course, the 

Nodes

 and 

Edges

 are just sitting there now and won’t appear as part 

of 

AGraph

. You must put them into the container to see them. Use the following 

code to add the 

Nodes

 and 

Edges

 to 

AGraph

.

AGraph.add_nodes_from(Nodes)

AGraph.add_edges_from(Edges)

The NetworkX package contains all sorts of functions you can use to interact with 

individual nodes and edges, but the approach shown here is the fastest way to do 

things. Even so, you might find that you want to add additional edges later. For 

example, you might want to add an edge between 2 and 4, in which case you would 

call the 

AGraph.add_edge(2, 4)

 function.
