    19 The nodeset section starts with the \c \@nodeset line.
    20 The next line contains the names of the maps separated by whitespaces.
    21 Each following line describes a node in the graph, it contains
    22 in the right order the values of the maps. The map named "id" should contain
    23 unique values because it regarded as ID-map.
     19The nodeset section starts with the following line:
     20
     21<tt>\@nodeset</tt>
     22
     23The next line contains the names of the nodemaps, separated by whitespaces.  Each
     24following line describes a node in the graph: it contains the values of the
     25maps in the right order. The map named "id" should contain unique values
     26because it is regarded as an ID-map. For example:

     41The next line contains the whitespace separated list of names of the maps.
    3642Each of the next lines describes one edge. The first two elements in the line
    37 are the ID of the source and target node as they occur in the ID node map.
     43are the IDs of the source and target (or tail and head) node of the edge as they occur in the ID node
     44map. You can also have an optional ID map on the edges for later reference.

    4754The next section contains <em>labeled nodes</em> (i.e. nodes having a special
    4855label on them). The section starts with
    49 \c \@nodes. Each of the next lines contains a label for a node in the graph
    50 and then the ID described in the nodeset.

    92104The \c writeNodeMap() function declares a \c NodeMap writing command in the
    93 \c GraphWriter. You should give as parameter the name of the map and the map
    94 object. The NodeMap writing command with name "id" should write a
     105\c GraphWriter. You should give a name of the map and the map
     106object as parameters. The NodeMap writing command with name "id" should write a
    95107unique map because it is regarded as ID map.

    120 With \c writeNode() and \c writeEdge() functions you can point out Nodes and
    121 Edges in the graph. By example, you can write out the source and target
    122 of the graph.
     133With \c writeNode() and \c writeEdge() functions you can designate Nodes and
     134Edges in the graph. For example, you can write out the source and target node
     135of a maximum flow instance.

    2525Some examples are the following (you will find links next to the code fragments that help to download full demo programs: save them on your computer and compile them according to the description in the page about \ref getsart How to start using LEMON):
    2626
    27 <ul>
    28 <li> First we give two examples that show how to instantiate a graph. The
    29 first one shows the methods that add nodes and edges, but one will
    30 usually use the second way which reads a graph from a stream (file).
    31 <ol>
    32 <li>The following code fragment shows how to fill a graph with data. It creates a complete graph on 4 nodes. The type Listgraph is one of the LEMON graph types: the typedefs in the beginning are for convenience and we will suppose them later as well.
    33  \code
    34   typedef ListGraph Graph;
     27<ul> <li> The first thing to discuss is the way one can create data structures
     28like graphs and maps in a program using LEMON.
     29//There are more graph types
     30//implemented in LEMON and you can implement your own graph type just as well:
     31//read more about this in the already mentioned page on \ref graphs "graphs".
     32
     33First we show how to add nodes and edges to a graph manually. We will also
     34define a map on the edges of the graph. After this we show the way one can
     35read a graph (and perhaps maps on it) from a stream (e.g. a file). Of course
     36we also have routines that write a graph (and perhaps maps) to a stream
     37(file): this will also be shown. LEMON supports the DIMACS file formats to
     38store network optimization problems, but more importantly we also have our own
     39file format that gives a more flexible way to store data related to network
     40optimization.
     41
     42<ol> <li>The following code fragment shows how to fill a graph with
     43data. It creates a complete graph on 4 nodes. The type Listgraph is one of the
     44LEMON graph types: the typedefs in the beginning are for convenience and we
     45will suppose them later as well. 
     46
     47\code
     48
     49  typedef ListGraph Graph;
    3550  typedef Graph::NodeIt NodeIt;
    3651
     
    4358    for (NodeIt j(g); j!=INVALID; ++j)
    4459      if (i != j) g.addEdge(i, j);
    45  \endcode
     60
     61\endcode
    4662
    4763See the whole program in file \ref helloworld.cc.
     
    4965    If you want to read more on the LEMON graph structures and concepts, read the page about \ref graphs "graphs".
    5066
    51 <li> The following code shows how to read a graph from a stream (e.g. a file). LEMON supports the DIMACS file format: it can read a graph instance from a file
    52 in that format (find the documentation of the DIMACS file format on the web).
     67<li> The following code shows how to read a graph from a stream (e.g. a file)
     68in the DIMACS file format (find the documentation of the DIMACS file formats on the web).
     69
    5370\code
    5471Graph g;
     
    5673readDimacs(f, g);
    5774\endcode
    58 One can also store network (graph+capacity on the edges) instances and other things in DIMACS format and use these in LEMON: to see the details read the documentation of the \ref dimacs.h "Dimacs file format reader".
     75
     76One can also store network (graph+capacity on the edges) instances and other
     77things (minimum cost flow instances etc.) in DIMACS format and use these in LEMON: to see the details read the
     78documentation of the \ref dimacs.h "Dimacs file format reader". There you will
     79also find the details about the output routines into files of the DIMACS
     80format.
     81
     82<li>We needed much greater flexibility than the DIMACS formats could give us,
     83so we worked out our own file format. Instead of any explanation let us give a
     84short example file in this format: read the detailed description of the LEMON
     85graph file format and input-output routines \ref graph-io-page here.
     86
     87So here is a file describing a graph of 10 nodes (0 to 9), two nodemaps
     88(called \c coordinates_x and \c coordinates_y), several edges, an edge map
     89called \c length and two designated nodes (called \c source and \c target).
