โฆ Synopsis
In a recent paper we showed how the binary Golay code can be obtained in a revealing way straight from the edge-graph of the icosahedron. This construction not only yields a natural basis for the code, but also supplies a simple description of all codewords. In this paper we show that the above is merely a special case of a general method of constructing codes from graphs. Codes with certain properties, such as self-orthogonality, can be obtained by putting certain conditions on the graph with which we start.

A code in a graph is a non-empty subset C of the vertex set V of . Given C, the partition of V according to the distance of the vertices away from C is called the distance partition of C. A completely regular code is a code whose distance partition has a certain regularity property. A special class
