5.2.10. xgt.Vertex

class xgt.Vertex(mapping=None, *, container_map=None, validation_id=0)

Represents a vertex from a vertex frame providing access to the properties and the frame the vertex belongs to.

The user shouldn’t manually construct these. They will be constructed by calls to get_data().

The class is implemented as a dictionary with the following keys:

• ‘id’: Row ID

• ‘metadata’: dict containing frame metadata:

• ‘name’: Vertex frame name

• ‘key’: Vertex key column name

• ‘properties’: dict mapping property names to values

Experimental: The API of this class may change in future releases.
