\brief Graph orientation with lower bound requirement on the
alpar@1678
     7
in-degree of the nodes.
alpar@1678

This demo shows an adaptation of the well-known "preflow push" algorithm to
alpar@1684
    10
a simple graph orientation problem.
alpar@1678
    11
alpar@1684
    12
The input of the problem is a(n undirected) graph and an integer value
alpar@1684
    13
<i>f(n)</i> assigned to each node \e n. The task is to find an orientation
alpar@1684
    14
of the edges for which the number of edge arriving to each node \e n is at
alpar@1684
    15
least least <i>f(n)</i>.
alpar@1684
    16
alpar@1684
    17
In fact, the algorithm reads a directed graph and computes a set of edges to
alpar@1684
    18
be reversed in order to achieve the in-degree requirement.
alpar@1684
    19
This input is given using 
alpar@1684
    20
\ref graph-io-page ".lgf (Lemon Graph Format)" file. It should contain
alpar@1684
    21
three node maps. The one called "f" contains the in-degree requirements, while
alpar@1684
    22
"coordinate_x" and "coordinate_y" indicate the position of the nodes. These
alpar@1684
    23
latter ones are used to generate the output, which is a <tt>.eps</tt> file.

Here you find how to solve the problem above using lemon.

\subsection go-alg-head Headers and convenience typedefs
alpar@1678
    31
alpar@1678
    32
First we include some important headers.
alpar@1678
    33
alpar@1678
    34
The first one defines \ref lemon::ListGraph "ListGraph",
alpar@1678
    35
the "Swiss army knife" graph implementation.
alpar@1678
    36
\dontinclude graph_orientation.cc
alpar@1678
    37
\skipline list_graph
alpar@1678
    38
alpar@1678
    39
The next is  to read a \ref graph-io-page ".lgf" (Lemon Graph Format) file.
alpar@1678
    40
\skipline reader
alpar@1678
    41
alpar@1678
    42
This provides us with some special purpose graph \ref maps "maps".
alpar@1678
    43
\skipline iterable
alpar@1678
    44
alpar@1678
    45
The following header defines a simple data structure to store and manipulate
alpar@1678
    46
planar coordinates. It will be used to draw the result.
alpar@1678
    47
\skipline xy
alpar@1678
    48
alpar@1678
    49
And finally, this header contains a simple graph drawing utility.
alpar@1678
    50
\skipline eps
alpar@1678
    51
alpar@1678
    52
As we don't want to type in \ref lemon "lemon::" million times, the
alpar@1678
    53
following line seems to be useful.
alpar@1678
    54
\skipline namespace
alpar@1678
    55
alpar@1678
    56
The following <tt>typedef</tt>s will also save a lot of typing.
alpar@1678
    57
\skip typedef
alpar@1678
    58
\until InEdgeIt
alpar@1678
    59
alpar@1684
    60
\subsection go-alg-main The main() function
alpar@1684
    61
alpar@1678
    62
Well, we are ready to start <tt>main()</tt>.
alpar@1678
    63
\skip main
alpar@1678
    64
\until {
alpar@1678
    65
alpar@1678
    66
First we check whether the program is called with exactly 1 parameter.
alpar@1678
    67
If it isn't, we print a short help message end exit.
alpar@1678
    68
The vast majority of people would probably skip this block.
alpar@1678
    69
\skip if
alpar@1678
    70
\until }
alpar@1678
    71
alpar@1678
    72
Now, we read a graph \c g, and a map \c f containing
alpar@1684
    73
the in-deg requirements from a \ref graph-io-page ".lgf (Lemon Graph Format)"
alpar@1678
    74
file. To generate the output picture, we also read the node titles (\c id) and
alpar@1678
    75
coordinates (\c coords).
alpar@1678
    76
So, first we create the graph
alpar@1678
    77
\skipline ListGraph
alpar@1678
    78
and the corresponding NodeMaps.
alpar@1678
    79
\skipline NodeMap
alpar@1678
    80
\until coords
alpar@1678
    81
\note The graph must be given to the maps' constructor.
alpar@1678
    82
alpar@1678
    83
Then, the following block will read these data from the file, or exit if
alpar@1678
    84
the file is missing or corrupt.
alpar@1678
    85
\skip try
alpar@1678
    86
\until }
alpar@1678
    87
\until }
alpar@1678
    88
alpar@1678
    89
The algorithm needs a "level" integer value assigned to each node. In the
alpar@1678
    90
beginning, the nodes are on level 0.
alpar@1678
    91
\skipline level
alpar@1678
    92
alpar@1678
    93
The deficiency (\c def) of a node is the in-degree requirement minus the 
alpar@1678
    94
actual in-degree.
alpar@1678
    95
alpar@1678
    96
\skip def
alpar@1678
    97
\until subMap
alpar@1678
    98
alpar@1678
    99
A node is \e active if its deficiency is positive (i.e. if it doesn't meet
alpar@1678
   100
the degree requirement).
alpar@1678
   101
\skip active
alpar@1678
   102
\until def
alpar@1678
   103
alpar@1715
   104
We also store in a bool map indicating which edges are reverted. Actually this is only
alpar@1678
   105
used to draw these edges with different color in the output picture. The
alpar@1678
   106
algorithm will update this map called \c rev, but will not use it otherwise.
alpar@1678
   107
\skip rev
alpar@1678
   108
\until reversed
alpar@1678
   109
alpar@1678
   110
The variable \c nodeNum will refer to the number of nodes.
alpar@1678
   111
\skipline nodeNum
alpar@1678
   112
alpar@1678
   113
Here comes the algorithms itself. 
alpar@1678
   114
In each iteration we choose an active node (\c act will store it). If there is
alpar@1678
   115
no such a node, then the orientation is feasible so we are done.
alpar@1678
   116
\skip act
alpar@1678
   117
\until while
alpar@1678
   118
alpar@1678
   119
Then we check if there exists an edge leaving this node that steps down exactly
alpar@1678
   120
one level.
alpar@1678
   121
\skip OutEdge
alpar@1678
   122
\until while
alpar@1678
   123
alpar@1678
   124
If there exists, we decrease the "activity" of the node \c act by reverting
alpar@1678
   125
this egde.
alpar@1678
   126
Fortunately, \ref lemon::ListGraph "ListGraph"
alpar@1678
   127
has a special function \ref lemon::ListGraph::reverseEdge() "reverseEdge()"
alpar@1678
   128
that makes this easy.
alpar@1678
   129
We also have to update the maps \c def and
alpar@1678
   130
\c rev.
alpar@1678
   131
\skipline if
alpar@1678
   132
\skip if
alpar@1678
   133
\until }
alpar@1678
   134
Otherwise (i.e. if there is no edge stepping down one level). We lift up the
alpar@1678
   135
current active node \c act. If it reaches level \c nodeNum, then there
alpar@1678
   136
exists no appropriate orientation so we stop.
alpar@1678
   137
\skipline else
alpar@1678
   138
\skipline if
alpar@1678
   139
\skipline return
alpar@1678
   140
\until }
alpar@1678
   141
\until }
alpar@1678
   142
\until }
alpar@1678
   143
alpar@1678
   144
Believe it or not, this algorithm works and runs fast.
alpar@1678
   145
alpar@1678
   146
Finally, we print the obtained orientation. Note, how the different
alpar@1678
   147
\c bool values of
alpar@1678
   148
\c rev are transformed into different \ref lemon::Color "RGB color"s
alpar@1678
   149
using the class
alpar@1678
   150
\ref lemon::ColorSet "ColorSet"
alpar@1678
   151
and the \ref map_adaptors "map adaptor" called
alpar@1678
   152
\ref lemon::ComposeMap "composeMap".
alpar@1678
   153
alpar@1678
   154
\skip graphToEps
alpar@1678
   155
\until run
alpar@1678
   156
alpar@1678
   157
alpar@1678
   158
\until end of main
alpar@1678
   159
alpar@1678
   160
Finally here are again the list of the used include files (because I can't turn
alpar@1678
   161
this section off.)
