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

     9 \todo Is this FAQ thing a good idea here? Is there such a thing? If
    10 twice YES then a link comes here.

    30 
    31 If you have installed LEMON on your system you can paste the following code
    32 segment into a file to have a first working program that uses library LEMON.
    33 
    34 \code
    35 #include <iostream>
    36 #include <lemon/list_graph.h>
    37 
    38 using namespace lemon;
    39 
    40 int main()
    41 {
    42   typedef ListGraph Graph;
    43   typedef Graph::Edge Edge;
    44   typedef Graph::InEdgeIt InEdgeIt;
    45   typedef Graph::OutEdgeIt OutEdgeIt;
    46   typedef Graph::EdgeIt EdgeIt;
    47   typedef Graph::Node Node;
    48   typedef Graph::NodeIt NodeIt;
    49 
    50   Graph g;
    51   
    52   for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    53     g.addNode();
    54   
    55   for (NodeIt i(g); i!=INVALID; ++i)
    56     for (NodeIt j(g); j!=INVALID; ++j)
    57       if (i != j) g.addEdge(i, j);
    58 
    59   std::cout << "Nodes:";
    60   for (NodeIt i(g); i!=INVALID; ++i)
    61     std::cout << " " << g.id(i);
    62   std::cout << std::endl;
    63 
    64   std::cout << "Edges:";
    65   for (EdgeIt i(g); i!=INVALID; ++i)
    66     std::cout << " (" << g.id(g.source(i)) << "," << g.id(g.target(i)) << ")";
    67   std::cout << std::endl;
    68 
    69 \endcode

    72 ListGraph is one of LEMON's graph classes. It is based on linked lists,
    73 therefore iterating throuh its edges and nodes is fast.
    74 
    75 After some convenient typedefs we create a graph and add three nodes to it.
    76 Then we add edges to it to form a complete graph.
    77 
    78 Then we iterate through all nodes of the graph. We use a constructor of the
    79 node iterator to initialize it to the first node. The operator++ is used to
    80 step to the next node. Using operator++ on the iterator pointing to the last
    81 node invalidates the iterator i.e. sets its value to
    82 \ref lemon::INVALID "INVALID". This is what we exploit in the stop condition.
    83 
    84 We can also iterate through all edges of the graph very similarly. The 
    85 \c target and
    86 \c source member functions can be used to access the endpoints of an edge.
    87 
    88 The previous code fragment prints out the following:
    89 
    90 \code
    91 Nodes: 2 1 0
    92 
    93 Edges: (0,2) (1,2) (0,1) (2,1) (1,0) (2,0)
    94 \endcode
