    15 The next important graph type concept is the undirected graph concept
    14 Each graph should meet the \ref lemon::concept::Graph "Graph" concept.
    16 what is defined in the \ref lemon::concept::UGraph "UGraph" concept class.
    15 This concept does not make it possible to change the graph (i.e. it is
    17 Each undirected graphs provide node - undirected edge list interfaces.
    16 not possible to add or delete edges or nodes). Most of the graph
    18 In addition the undirected graphs can be used as directed graphs so
    17 algorithms will run on these graphs.
    19 they are also conform to the \ref lemon::concept::Graph "Graph" concept.

    21 Usually the graphs can be sorted to two group, the first is the
       
    22 general topology graph types which can store any graph and the second
       
    23 are the special topology graphs like the \ref FullUGraph or the \ref
       
    24 GridUGraph.
