When I enter for example

G = Part[GraphData[10],1];
LG = LineGraph[G];

I get error message that LineGraph requires a graph object.

How do I convert G into an object accepted by LineGraph? I am using version 9 of Mathematica without Combinatorica explicitly loaded. No doubt a very simple question. Thank you.

You are trying to get at the graph {"Antiprism",5} since you get:

G = Part[GraphData[10],1]
(* Output: {"Antiprism",5} *)

After that, you actually need to use "LineGraph" as an argument for GraphData as:

GraphData[G, "LineGraph"]

That should give you the line graph of your G.

Wrap it with GraphData:

G = Part[GraphData[10], 1];

LG = LineGraph[GraphData@G]
