    10 \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
    11 
    12 The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on 
    13 efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are 
    14 planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies, 
    15 and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications. 
    16 
    17 The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences appear in the size of 
    18 graph we require to handle, memory or time usage limitations or in 
    19 the set of operations through which the graph can be accessed. 
    20 LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet the 
    21 diverging requirements of the possible users. 
    22 In order to save on running time or on memory usage, some structures may 
    23 fail to provide some graph features like edge or node deletion.
    24 
    25 Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of 
    26 operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements. 
    27 In the case of graph strutures, different operations are needed which do 
    28 not alter the physical graph, but gives an other view. If some nodes or 
    29 edges have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then 
    30 this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implemenation 
    31 the residual graph can be accessed by an other algorithm, or a node-set 
    32 is to be shrunk for an other algorithm. 
    33 LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called 
    34 \ref gwrappers "graph wrappers". Wrappers cannot be used alone but only 
    35 in conjunction with other graph representation. 
    36 
    37 You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
    38 the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
    39 with any graph structures.
