grafeno.operations.graft.
graft
(stem, locus, bud, root)¶ This operation inserts a whole semantic graph (the bud) in place of a node in another graph (the stem).
It could be used to replace interrogative nodes in a question graph with the answer graph, or to reify exophoric relations.
Note
If the bud is not connected, all components will be inserted into stem, but only the locus and root nodes will be merged.
Warning
This operation is destructive. If you want to keep a non-modified version of stem, copy it first.
Parameters: stem : Graph
The concept graph into which the bud is going to be inserted.
locus : int
ID of the node in stem to be replaced with bud.
bud : Graph
The concept graph to insert into stem.
root : int
ID of the node in bud that is going to replace the locus, taking with it all its sub-graph.
