LEMON also contains undirected graph classes, +for example, \ref ListGraph is the undirected versions of \ref ListDigraph. + +[SEC]sec_undir_graph_use[SEC] Working with Undirected Graphs + +The \ref concepts::Graph "undirected graphs" also fulfill the concept of +\ref concepts::Digraph "directed graphs", in such a way that each +undirected \e edge of a graph can also be regarded as two oppositely +directed \e arcs. As a result, all directed graph algorithms automatically +run on undirected graphs, as well. + +Undirected graphs provide an \c Edge type for the \e undirected \e edges +and an \c Arc type for the \e directed \e arcs. The \c Arc type is +convertible to \c Edge (or inherited from it), thus the corresponding +edge can always be obtained from an arc. +Of course, only nodes and edges can be added to or removed from an undirected +graph and the corresponding arcs are added or removed automatically +(there are twice as many arcs as edges) + +For example, +\code + ListGraph g; + + ListGraph::Node a = g.addNode(); + ListGraph::Node b = g.addNode(); + ListGraph::Node c = g.addNode(); + + ListGraph::Edge e = g.addEdge(a,b); + g.addEdge(b,c); + g.addEdge(c,a); +\endcode + +Each edge has an inherent orientation, thus it can be defined whether +an arc is forward or backward oriented in an undirected graph with respect +to this default oriantation of the represented edge. +The direction of an arc can be obtained and set using the functions +\ref concepts::Graph::direction() "direction()" and +\ref concepts::Graph::direct() "direct()", respectively. + +For example, +\code + ListGraph::Arc a1 = g.direct(e, true); // a1 is the forward arc + ListGraph::Arc a2 = g.direct(e, false); // a2 is the backward arc + + if (a2 == g.oppositeArc(a1)) + std::cout << "a2 is the opposite of a1" << std::endl; +\endcode + +The end nodes of an edge can be obtained using the functions +\ref concepts::Graph::source() "u()" and +\ref concepts::Graph::target() "v()", while the +\ref concepts::Graph::source() "source()" and +\ref concepts::Graph::target() "target()" can be used for arcs. + +\code + std::cout << "Edge " << g.id(e) << " connects node " + << g.id(g.u(e)) << " and node " << g.id(g.v(e)) << std::endl; + + std::cout << "Arc " << g.id(a2) << " goes from node " + << g.id(g.source(a2)) << " to node " << g.id(g.target(a2)) << std::endl; +\endcode + +Similarly to the digraphs, the undirected graphs also provide iterators +\ref concepts::Graph::NodeIt "NodeIt", \ref concepts::Graph::ArcIt "ArcIt", +\ref concepts::Graph::OutArcIt "OutArcIt" and \ref concepts::Graph::InArcIt +"InArcIt", which can be used the same way. +However, they also have iterator classes for edges. +\ref concepts::Graph::EdgeIt "EdgeIt" traverses all edges in the graph and +\ref concepts::Graph::IncEdgeIt "IncEdgeIt" lists the incident edges of a +certain node. + +For example, the degree of each node can be printed out like this: + +\code + for (ListGraph::NodeIt n(g); n != INVALID; ++n) { + int cnt = 0; + for (ListGraph::IncEdgeIt e(g, n); e != INVALID; ++e) { + cnt++; + } + std::cout << "deg(" << g.id(n) << ") = " << cnt << std::endl; + } +\endcode + +In an undirected graph, both \ref concepts::Graph::OutArcIt "OutArcIt" +and \ref concepts::Graph::InArcIt "InArcIt" iterates on the same \e edges +but with opposite direction. They are convertible to both \c Arc and +\c Edge types. \ref concepts::Graph::IncEdgeIt "IncEdgeIt" also iterates +on these edges, but it is not convertible to \c Arc, only to \c Edge. + +Apart from the node and arc maps, an undirected graph also defines +a member class for constructing edge maps. These maps can be +used in conjunction with both edges and arcs. + +For example, +\code + ListGraph::EdgeMap cost(g); + cost[e] = 10; + std::cout << cost[e] << std::endl; + std::cout << cost[a1] << ", " << cost[a2] << std::endl; + + ListGraph::ArcMap arc_cost(g); + arc_cost[a1] = cost[a1]; + arc_cost[a2] = 2 * cost[a2]; + // std::cout << arc_cost[e] << std::endl; // this is not valid + std::cout << arc_cost[a1] << ", " << arc_cost[a2] << std::endl; +\endcode + + +[SEC]sec_undir_graph_algs[SEC] Undirected Graph Algorihtms + +\todo This subsection is under construction. + +See \ref spantree for the minimum spanning tree algorithms and +\ref matching for matching algorithms. + +[TRAILER] +*/ +}
