# categorical-graph

### categorical-graph

**creates: *sequential set***

A `categorical-graph` variable object produces a sequential set when evaluating a `sequence` parser object.

```
{
  "data_function_type": "categorical-graph",
  "criterion": {
    ...
  }, //A categorical variable object used to specify the node of interest within the graph
  "graph": {
    "graphs": [
      "gggg" //The collection name of the sequence collection(s) to evaluate
    ],
    "inclusive": "tftf", //Used to include the node of interest in the response, defaults to false
    "distance": [
      -#, # //An ordinal numeric value or values used to define the distance to travel along the graph from the node of interest
    ],
    "stop": {
      ...
    }, // A variable object to inspect as a stopping point along the graph
    "stop_operator": "oooo", //Options are "<", "<=", "=", "!=", ">=", ">"
    "stop_value": # //A numeric value
    "seek": {
      ...
    }, //A variable object to inspect as a starting point along the graph
    "seek_operator": "oooo", //Options are "<", "<=", "=", "!=", ">=", ">"
    "seek_value": # //A numeric value
  }
}
