Path Structures

---

Detailed Description

This group contains the path structures implemented in LEMON.

LEMON provides flexible data structures to work with paths. All of them have similar interfaces and they can be copied easily with assignment operators and copy constructors. This makes it easy and efficient to have e.g. the Dijkstra algorithm to store its result in any kind of path structure.

Function Documentation

void lemon::pathCopy	(	const From &	from,
		To &	to
	)

This function makes a copy of a path.

void lemon::copyPath	(	To &	to,
		const From &	from
	)

Deprecated version of pathCopy() (only for reverse compatibility).

bool lemon::checkPath	(	const Digraph &	digraph,
		const Path &	path
	)

This function checks that the target of each arc is the same as the source of the next one.

Digraph::Node lemon::pathSource	(	const Digraph &	digraph,
		const Path &	path
	)

This function returns the source node of the given path. If the path is empty, then it returns INVALID.

Digraph::Node lemon::pathTarget	(	const Digraph &	digraph,
		const Path &	path
	)

This function returns the target node of the given path. If the path is empty, then it returns INVALID.
