direction = one of incoming or outgoing

When G is directed, specifies the direction of the directed path used to define which vertices of G are included in the result.

If direction=outgoing, a vertex w is included in the result if there is a directed path from some vertex in V to w. If direction=incoming, w is included in the result if there is a directed path from w to some vertex in V.

The default is direction=outgoing.

EgoGraph(G, V, dist) returns the induced subgraph of G defined by those vertices of G which are within distance dist from any of vertices referenced in V.

If G is undirected, EgoGraph(G, V, dist) returns a subgraph of G in which a vertex w is present if there exists a path from some vertex in V to w whose length is less than or equal to dist.

If G is directed, EgoGraph(G, V, dist) returns a subgraph of G in which a vertex w is present if there exists a directed path from some vertex in V to w whose length is less than or equal to dist.

If G is weighted, these paths are weighted paths.

If dist is not specified, a default value of 1 is assumed.
