Defined in tensorflow/python/framework/graph_util_impl.py.

Replaces all the variables in a graph with constants of the same values.

If you have a trained graph containing Variable ops, it can be convenient to convert them all to Const ops holding the same values. This makes it possible to describe the network fully with a single GraphDef file, and allows the removal of a lot of ops related to loading and saving the variables.

Args:

• sess: Active TensorFlow session containing the variables.
• input_graph_def: GraphDef object holding the network.
• output_node_names: List of name strings for the result nodes of the graph.
• variable_names_whitelist: The set of variable names to convert (by default, all variables are converted).
• variable_names_blacklist: The set of variable names to omit converting to constants.

Returns:

GraphDef containing a simplified version of the original.
