    The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures,

+   is needed to run on the reversed oriented graph. 
    It may be expensive (in time or in memory usage) to copy 
-   \c g with the reverse orientation. 
-   Thus, a wrapper class
-   \code template<typename Graph> class RevGraphWrapper; \endcode is used. 
-   The code looks as follows
+   \c g with the reversed orientation. 
+   In this case, a wrapper class is used, which 
+   (according to LEMON graph concepts) works as a graph. 
+   The wrapper uses 
+   the original graph structure and graph operations when methods of the 
+   reversed oriented graph are called. 
+   This means that the wrapper have minor memory usage, 
+   and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic actions. 
+   The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when 
+   a graph have to be used in a specific alteration. 
+   If this alteration is obtained by a usual construction 
+   like filtering the edge-set or considering a new orientation, then 
+   a wrapper is worthwhile to use. 
+   To come back to the reversed oriented graph, in this situation 
+   \code template<typename Graph> class RevGraphWrapper; \endcode 
+   template class can be used. 
+   The code looks as follows 
    \code
    ListGraph g;
    RevGraphWrapper<ListGraph> rgw(g);
    int result=algorithm(rgw);
    \endcode
    After running the algorithm, the original graph \c g 
-   remains untouched. Thus the graph wrapper used above is to consider the

    This techniques gives rise to an elegant code, and 
    based on stable graph wrappers, complex algorithms can be 
    implemented easily. 
+
    In flow, circulation and bipartite matching problems, the residual 
    graph is of particular importance. Combining a wrapper implementing 
    this, shortest path algorithms and minimum mean cycle algorithms, 
    a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be

+
    The behavior of graph wrappers can be very different. Some of them keep 
    capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be 
-   meaningless. This means that the concepts that they are a model of depend 
+   meaningless. This means that the concepts that they are models of depend 
    on the graph wrapper, and the wrapped graph(s). 
    If an edge of \c rgw is deleted, this is carried out by 
-   deleting the corresponding edge of \c g. But for a residual 
+   deleting the corresponding edge of \c g, thus the wrapper modifies the

    graph, this operation has no sense.

    This means that in a situation, 
    when a <tt> const ListGraph& </tt> reference to a graph is given, 
    then it have to be instantiated with <tt>Graph=const ListGraph</tt>.
