The graph to save.
string filename

The path to the file to write to.
System.Text.Encoding fileEncoding

Declaration
void Save(IGraph g, string filename)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IGraph g

The Graph to Save.
string filename

The filename to save the Graph in.
Remarks

The output will be written in UTF-8 with no byte-order mark specified. To override this behaviour, call either Save(IGraph, string, Encoding) with the specific encoding to use, or Save(IGraph, TextWriter) with a TextWriter created with the required text encoding set.
