\page getstart How to start using LEMON

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

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




\section downloadLEMON How to download LEMON

You can download LEMON from the following web site:


\section installLEMON How to install LEMON

In order to install LEMON you have to do the following

\section helloworld My first program using LEMON

If you have installed LEMON on your system you can paste the following code
segment into a file to have a first working program that uses library LEMON.

\code
#include <iostream>
#include <lemon/list_graph.h>

using namespace lemon;

int main()
{
  typedef ListGraph Graph;
  typedef Graph::Edge Edge;
  typedef Graph::InEdgeIt InEdgeIt;
  typedef Graph::OutEdgeIt OutEdgeIt;
  typedef Graph::EdgeIt EdgeIt;
  typedef Graph::Node Node;
  typedef Graph::NodeIt NodeIt;

  Graph g;
  
  for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    g.addNode();
  
  for (NodeIt i(g); i!=INVALID; ++i)
    for (NodeIt j(g); j!=INVALID; ++j)
      if (i != j) g.addEdge(i, j);

  std::cout << "Nodes:";
  for (NodeIt i(g); i!=INVALID; ++i)
    std::cout << " " << g.id(i);
  std::cout << std::endl;

  std::cout << "Edges:";
  for (EdgeIt i(g); i!=INVALID; ++i)
    std::cout << " (" << g.id(g.source(i)) << "," << g.id(g.target(i)) << ")";
  std::cout << std::endl;

\endcode


ListGraph is one of LEMON's graph classes. It is based on linked lists,
therefore iterating throuh its edges and nodes is fast.

After some convenient typedefs we create a graph and add three nodes to it.
Then we add edges to it to form a complete graph.

Then we iterate through all nodes of the graph. We use a constructor of the
node iterator to initialize it to the first node. The operator++ is used to
step to the next node. Using operator++ on the iterator pointing to the last
node invalidates the iterator i.e. sets its value to
\ref lemon::INVALID "INVALID". This is what we exploit in the stop condition.

We can also iterate through all edges of the graph very similarly. The 
\c target and
\c source member functions can be used to access the endpoints of an edge.

The previous code fragment prints out the following:

\code
Nodes: 2 1 0

Edges: (0,2) (1,2) (0,1) (2,1) (1,0) (2,0)
\endcode
