In this page we detail how to start using LEMON, from downloading it to 
athos@1175
     5
your computer, through the steps of installation to showing a simple
athos@1175
     6
"Hello World" type program that already uses LEMON. If anything is not 
athos@1175

If you have installed LEMON on your system you can paste the following code

segment into a file to have a first working program that uses library LEMON.

ListGraph is one of LEMON's graph classes. It is based on linked lists,
athos@1175
    73
therefore iterating throuh its edges and nodes is fast.
athos@1175
    74
athos@1175
    75
After some convenient typedefs we create a graph and add three nodes to it.
athos@1175
    76
Then we add edges to it to form a complete graph.
athos@1175
    77
athos@1175
    78
Then we iterate through all nodes of the graph. We use a constructor of the
athos@1175
    79
node iterator to initialize it to the first node. The operator++ is used to
athos@1175
    80
step to the next node. Using operator++ on the iterator pointing to the last
athos@1175
    81
node invalidates the iterator i.e. sets its value to
athos@1175
    82
\ref lemon::INVALID "INVALID". This is what we exploit in the stop condition.
athos@1175
    83
athos@1175
    84
We can also iterate through all edges of the graph very similarly. The 
athos@1175
    85
\c target and
athos@1175
    86
\c source member functions can be used to access the endpoints of an edge.
