Graphs denote useful dependencies among objects ubiquitously. This paper introduces new and simple bijections to the integer grid to enable the succinct, canonical and efficient representations of labeled graphs; whereas previous work has focused on regularities in structure such as triangularity, separability, planarity, symmetry and sparsity. By succinct we imply that space is information-theoretically optimal, by canonical we imply that generation of instances is unique, and by efficient we imply that coding and decoding take polynomial time. Our results have direct implications to handle labeled graphs by using single numbers efficiently, which is significant to enable the canonical graph encodings in learning and optimization algorithms. Our bijections are the first known in the literature.
