tf.compat.v1.graph_util.convert_variables_to_constants
Replaces all the variables in a graph with constants of the same values. (deprecated)
tf.compat.v1.graph_util.convert_variables_to_constants(
    sess, input_graph_def, output_node_names, variable_names_whitelist=None,
    variable_names_blacklist=None
)
  
  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. | 
| Raises | |
|---|---|
RuntimeError | 
      if a DT_RESOURCE op is found whose ancestor Variables are both blacklisted AND whitelisted for freezing. |
