21 This group describes the several data structures implemented in LEMON.
25 @defgroup graphs Graph Structures
27 \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
29 The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
30 efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
31 planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
32 and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
34 The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
35 usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
36 appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
37 limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
38 accessed. LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
39 the diverging requirements of the possible users. In order to save on
40 running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
41 some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.
43 You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
44 the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
45 with any graph structure.

53 \brief Map structures implemented in LEMON.
55 This group describes the map structures implemented in LEMON.
57 LEMON provides several special purpose maps and map adaptors that e.g. combine
58 new maps from existing ones.
60 <b>See also:</b> \ref map_concepts "Map Concepts".
64 @defgroup graph_maps Graph Maps
66 \brief Special graph-related maps.
68 This group describes maps that are specifically designed to assign
69 values to the nodes and arcs of graphs.
73 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
75 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
77 This group describes map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
80 Most of them are \ref lemon::concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
81 They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
82 (negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
83 'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
85 The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
86 algorithms. If a function type algorithm is called then the function
87 type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
88 usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
90 Color nodeColor(int deg) {
92 return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
93 } else if (deg == 1) {
94 return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
96 return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
100 Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
102 graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
103 .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
104 .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
107 The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
108 \c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
109 and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
110 get the color of each node.
112 The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
113 case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
114 function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
118 typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
119 DoubleArcMap length(graph);
120 DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
122 typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
123 TimeMap time(length, speed);
125 Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
126 dijkstra.run(source, target);
128 We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
129 The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
130 the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
131 class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
132 \c Dijkstra algorithm.
136 @defgroup paths Path Structures
138 \brief %Path structures implemented in LEMON.
140 This group describes the path structures implemented in LEMON.
142 LEMON provides flexible data structures to work with paths.
143 All of them have similar interfaces and they can be copied easily with
144 assignment operators and copy constructors. This makes it easy and
145 efficient to have e.g. the Dijkstra algorithm to store its result in
146 any kind of path structure.

265 @defgroup concept Concepts
266 \brief Skeleton classes and concept checking classes
268 This group describes the data/algorithm skeletons and concept checking
269 classes implemented in LEMON.
271 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
273 - These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
274 to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
275 simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
277 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
278 implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
279 without implementations and real data structures behind the
280 interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
281 the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
282 should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
283 of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
284 doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
286 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
287 that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
288 concept indeed provides all the required features.
290 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
