First Steps with Graphs
A Graph consists of vertices and edges. The vertex collection contains the documents forming the vertices. The edge collection contains the documents forming the edges. Together both collections form a graph. Assume that the vertex collection is called vertices and the edges collection edges, then you can build a graph using the Graph constructor.
arango> var Graph = require("graph").Graph;
arango> g1 = new Graph("graph", "vertices", "edges");
Graph("vertices", "edges")
It is possible to use different edges with the same vertices. For instance, to build a new graph with a different edge collection use
arango> var Graph = require("graph").Graph;
arango> g2 = new Graph("graph", "vertices", "alternativeEdges");
Graph("vertices", "alternativeEdges")
It is, however, impossible to use different vertices with the same edges. Edges are tied to the vertices.
