Mapping isomorphism for posets or graphs

I know that we can check if two posets/graphs are isomorphic using is_isomorphic(), but is there any way that I can get Sage to output a possible mapping between the two posets/graphs that are isomorphic?

According to the documentation of is_isomorphic, you can use the argument certificate=True:

sage: G = Graph([(0,1),(1,2)])     
sage: H = Graph([(8,9), (9,10)])                                                 
sage: G.is_isomorphic(H)                                                        
True
sage: G.is_isomorphic(H, certificate=True)                                      
(True, {0: 10, 1: 9, 2: 8})

If the automorphism group of G is non trivial, there are more than one such map. You can deduce all of them from the automorphism group of G:

sage: G.automorphism_group()                                                    
Permutation Group with generators [(0,2)]

in other words, always read the manual first !
