Write a simple undirected graph to path in graph6 format.

Parameters:

G : Graph (undirected)

path : file or string

File or filename to write.

nodes: list or iterable

Nodes are labeled 0...n-1 in the order provided. If None the ordering given by G.nodes() is used.

header: bool

If True add ‘>>graph6<<’ string to head of data
