    29 \brief Graph structures implemented in LEMON.
    30 
    31 The implementation of combinatorial algorithms heavily relies on
    32 efficient graph implementations. LEMON offers data structures which are
    33 planned to be easily used in an experimental phase of implementation studies,
    34 and thereafter the program code can be made efficient by small modifications.
    35 
    36 The most efficient implementation of diverse applications require the
    37 usage of different physical graph implementations. These differences
    38 appear in the size of graph we require to handle, memory or time usage
    39 limitations or in the set of operations through which the graph can be
    40 accessed.  LEMON provides several physical graph structures to meet
    41 the diverging requirements of the possible users.  In order to save on
    42 running time or on memory usage, some structures may fail to provide
    43 some graph features like arc/edge or node deletion.
    44 
    45 Alteration of standard containers need a very limited number of
    46 operations, these together satisfy the everyday requirements.
    47 In the case of graph structures, different operations are needed which do
    48 not alter the physical graph, but gives another view. If some nodes or
    49 arcs have to be hidden or the reverse oriented graph have to be used, then
    50 this is the case. It also may happen that in a flow implementation
    51 the residual graph can be accessed by another algorithm, or a node-set
    52 is to be shrunk for another algorithm.
    53 LEMON also provides a variety of graphs for these requirements called
    54 \ref graph_adaptors "graph adaptors". Adaptors cannot be used alone but only
    55 in conjunction with other graph representations.
    56 
    57 You are free to use the graph structure that fit your requirements
    58 the best, most graph algorithms and auxiliary data structures can be used
    59 with any graph structure.

    65 @defgroup graph_adaptors Adaptor Classes for Graphs
    66 @ingroup graphs
    67 \brief Adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs
    68 
    69 This group contains several useful adaptor classes for digraphs and graphs.
    70 
    71 The main parts of LEMON are the different graph structures, generic
    72 graph algorithms, graph concepts, which couple them, and graph
    73 adaptors. While the previous notions are more or less clear, the
    74 latter one needs further explanation. Graph adaptors are graph classes
    75 which serve for considering graph structures in different ways.
    76 
    77 A short example makes this much clearer.  Suppose that we have an
    78 instance \c g of a directed graph type, say ListDigraph and an algorithm
    79 \code
    80 template <typename Digraph>
    81 int algorithm(const Digraph&);
    82 \endcode
    83 is needed to run on the reverse oriented graph.  It may be expensive
    84 (in time or in memory usage) to copy \c g with the reversed
    85 arcs.  In this case, an adaptor class is used, which (according
    86 to LEMON \ref concepts::Digraph "digraph concepts") works as a digraph.
    87 The adaptor uses the original digraph structure and digraph operations when
    88 methods of the reversed oriented graph are called.  This means that the adaptor
    89 have minor memory usage, and do not perform sophisticated algorithmic
    90 actions.  The purpose of it is to give a tool for the cases when a
    91 graph have to be used in a specific alteration.  If this alteration is
    92 obtained by a usual construction like filtering the node or the arc set or
    93 considering a new orientation, then an adaptor is worthwhile to use.
    94 To come back to the reverse oriented graph, in this situation
    95 \code
    96 template<typename Digraph> class ReverseDigraph;
    97 \endcode
    98 template class can be used. The code looks as follows
    99 \code
   100 ListDigraph g;
   101 ReverseDigraph<ListDigraph> rg(g);
   102 int result = algorithm(rg);
   103 \endcode
   104 During running the algorithm, the original digraph \c g is untouched.
   105 This techniques give rise to an elegant code, and based on stable
   106 graph adaptors, complex algorithms can be implemented easily.
   107 
   108 In flow, circulation and matching problems, the residual
   109 graph is of particular importance. Combining an adaptor implementing
   110 this with shortest path algorithms or minimum mean cycle algorithms,
   111 a range of weighted and cardinality optimization algorithms can be
   112 obtained. For other examples, the interested user is referred to the
   113 detailed documentation of particular adaptors.
   114 
   115 The behavior of graph adaptors can be very different. Some of them keep
   116 capabilities of the original graph while in other cases this would be
   117 meaningless. This means that the concepts that they meet depend
   118 on the graph adaptor, and the wrapped graph.
   119 For example, if an arc of a reversed digraph is deleted, this is carried
   120 out by deleting the corresponding arc of the original digraph, thus the
   121 adaptor modifies the original digraph.
   122 However in case of a residual digraph, this operation has no sense.
   123 
   124 Let us stand one more example here to simplify your work.
   125 ReverseDigraph has constructor
   126 \code
   127 ReverseDigraph(Digraph& digraph);
   128 \endcode
   129 This means that in a situation, when a <tt>const %ListDigraph&</tt>
   130 reference to a graph is given, then it have to be instantiated with
   131 <tt>Digraph=const %ListDigraph</tt>.
   132 \code
   133 int algorithm1(const ListDigraph& g) {
   134   ReverseDigraph<const ListDigraph> rg(g);
   135   return algorithm2(rg);
   136 }
   137 \endcode

   157 LEMON provides several special purpose maps and map adaptors that e.g. combine
   158 new maps from existing ones.

   175 /**
   176 \defgroup map_adaptors Map Adaptors
   177 \ingroup maps
   178 \brief Tools to create new maps from existing ones
   179 
   180 This group contains map adaptors that are used to create "implicit"
   181 maps from other maps.
   182 
   183 Most of them are \ref concepts::ReadMap "read-only maps".
   184 They can make arithmetic and logical operations between one or two maps
   185 (negation, shifting, addition, multiplication, logical 'and', 'or',
   186 'not' etc.) or e.g. convert a map to another one of different Value type.
   187 
   188 The typical usage of this classes is passing implicit maps to
   189 algorithms.  If a function type algorithm is called then the function
   190 type map adaptors can be used comfortable. For example let's see the
   191 usage of map adaptors with the \c graphToEps() function.
   192 \code
   193   Color nodeColor(int deg) {
   194     if (deg >= 2) {
   195       return Color(0.5, 0.0, 0.5);
   196     } else if (deg == 1) {
   197       return Color(1.0, 0.5, 1.0);
   198     } else {
   199       return Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
   200     }
   201   }
   202 
   203   Digraph::NodeMap<int> degree_map(graph);
   204 
   205   graphToEps(graph, "graph.eps")
   206     .coords(coords).scaleToA4().undirected()
   207     .nodeColors(composeMap(functorToMap(nodeColor), degree_map))
   208     .run();
   209 \endcode
   210 The \c functorToMap() function makes an \c int to \c Color map from the
   211 \c nodeColor() function. The \c composeMap() compose the \c degree_map
   212 and the previously created map. The composed map is a proper function to
   213 get the color of each node.
   214 
   215 The usage with class type algorithms is little bit harder. In this
   216 case the function type map adaptors can not be used, because the
   217 function map adaptors give back temporary objects.
   218 \code
   219   Digraph graph;
   220 
   221   typedef Digraph::ArcMap<double> DoubleArcMap;
   222   DoubleArcMap length(graph);
   223   DoubleArcMap speed(graph);
   224 
   225   typedef DivMap<DoubleArcMap, DoubleArcMap> TimeMap;
   226   TimeMap time(length, speed);
   227 
   228   Dijkstra<Digraph, TimeMap> dijkstra(graph, time);
   229   dijkstra.run(source, target);
   230 \endcode
   231 We have a length map and a maximum speed map on the arcs of a digraph.
   232 The minimum time to pass the arc can be calculated as the division of
   233 the two maps which can be done implicitly with the \c DivMap template
   234 class. We use the implicit minimum time map as the length map of the
   235 \c Dijkstra algorithm.

   627 
   628 The purpose of the classes in this group is fourfold.
   629 
   630 - These classes contain the documentations of the %concepts. In order
   631   to avoid document multiplications, an implementation of a concept
   632   simply refers to the corresponding concept class.
   633 
   634 - These classes declare every functions, <tt>typedef</tt>s etc. an
   635   implementation of the %concepts should provide, however completely
   636   without implementations and real data structures behind the
   637   interface. On the other hand they should provide nothing else. All
   638   the algorithms working on a data structure meeting a certain concept
   639   should compile with these classes. (Though it will not run properly,
   640   of course.) In this way it is easily to check if an algorithm
   641   doesn't use any extra feature of a certain implementation.
   642 
   643 - The concept descriptor classes also provide a <em>checker class</em>
   644   that makes it possible to check whether a certain implementation of a
   645   concept indeed provides all the required features.
   646 
   647 - Finally, They can serve as a skeleton of a new implementation of a concept.
