+@defgroup graph_adaptors Adaptor Classes for Graphs
+@ingroup graphs
+\brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
+
+This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
+
+The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
+graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
+adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
+latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
+which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
+
+A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
+instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
+\code
+template <typename Digraph>
+int algorithm(const Digraph&);
+\endcode
+is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
+(in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
+arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
+to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
+The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
+methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor
+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 node or the arc set or
+considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
+To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
+\code
+template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
+\endcode
+template class can be used. The code looks as follows
+\code
+ListDigraph g;
+ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
+int result = algorithm(rg);
+\endcode
+During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
+This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
+graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
+
+In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
+graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
+this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
+a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
+obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
+detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
+
+The behavior of graph adaptors 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 meet depend
+on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
+For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
+out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
+adaptor modifies the original digraph.
+However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
+
+Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
+ReverseDigraph has constructor
+\code
+ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
+\endcode
+This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
+reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
+<tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
+\code
+int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
+  ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
+  return algorithm2(rg);
+}
+\endcode
