\page graphs How to use graphs

The primary data structures of HugoLib are the graph classes. They all
provide a node list - edge list interface, i.e. they have
functionalities to list the nodes and the edges of the graph as well
as in incoming and outgoing edges of a given node. 


Each graph should meet the \ref ConstGraph concept. This concept does
makes it possible to change the graph (i.e. it is not possible to add
or delete edges or nodes). Most of the graph algorithms will run on
these graphs.

The graphs meeting the \ref ExtendableGraph concept allow node and
edge addition. You can also "clear" (i.e. erase all edges and nodes)
such a graph.

In case of graphs meeting the full feature \ref ErasableGraph concept
you can also erase individual edges and node in arbitrary order.

The implemented graph structures are the following.
\li \ref hugo::ListGraph "ListGraph" is the most versatile graph class. It meets
the ErasableGraph concept and it also have some convenience features.
\li \ref hugo::SmartGraph "SmartGraph" is a more memory
efficient version of \ref hugo::ListGraph "ListGraph". The
price of it is that it only meets the \ref ExtendableGraph concept,
so you cannot delete individual edges or nodes.
\li \ref hugo::SymListGraph "SymListGraph" and
\ref hugo::SymSmartGraph "SymSmartGraph" classes are very similar to
\ref hugo::ListGraph "ListGraph" and \ref hugo::SmartGraph "SmartGraph".
The difference is that whenever you add a
new edge to the graph, it actually adds a pair of oppositely directed edges.
They are linked together so it is possible to access the counterpart of an
edge. An even more important feature is that using these classes you can also
attach data to the edges in such a way that the stored data
are shared by the edge pairs. 
\li \ref hugo::FullGraph "FullGraph"
implements a full graph. It is a \ref ConstGraph, so you cannot
change the number of nodes once it is constructed. It is extremely memory
efficient: it uses constant amount of memory independently from the number of
the nodes of the graph. Of course, the size of the \ref maps "NodeMap"'s and
\ref maps "EdgeMap"'s will depend on the number of nodes.

\li \ref hugo::NodeSet "NodeSet" implements a graph with no edges. This class
can be used as a base class of \ref hugo::EdgeSet "EdgeSet".
\li \ref hugo::EdgeSet "EdgeSet" can be used to create a new graph on
the edge set of another graph. The base graph can be an arbitrary graph and it
is possible to attach several \ref hugo::EdgeSet "EdgeSet"'s to a base graph.

\todo Don't we need SmartNodeSet and SmartEdgeSet?
\todo Some cross-refs are wrong.

\bug This file must be updated accordig to the new stile iterators.

The graph structures itself can not store data attached
to the edges and nodes. However they all provide
\ref maps "map classes"
to dynamically attach data the to graph components.




The following program demonstrates the basic features of HugoLib's graph
structures.

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

using namespace hugo;

int main()
{
  typedef ListGraph Graph;
\endcode

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

\code
  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); g.valid(i); g.next(i))
    for (NodeIt j(g); g.valid(j); g.next(j))
      if (i != j) g.addEdge(i, j);
\endcode

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

\code
  std::cout << "Nodes:";
  for (NodeIt i(g); g.valid(i); g.next(i))
    std::cout << " " << g.id(i);
  std::cout << std::endl;
\endcode

Here we iterate through all nodes of the graph. We use a constructor of the
node iterator to initialize it to the first node. The next member function is
used to step to the next node, and valid is used to check if we have passed the
last one.

\code
  std::cout << "Nodes:";
  NodeIt n;
  for (g.first(n); n != INVALID; g.next(n))
    std::cout << " " << g.id(n);
  std::cout << std::endl;
\endcode

Here you can see an alternative way to iterate through all nodes. Here we use a
member function of the graph to initialize the node iterator to the first node
of the graph. Using next on the iterator pointing to the last node invalidates
the iterator i.e. sets its value to INVALID. Checking for this value is
equivalent to using the valid member function.

Both of the previous code fragments print out the same:

\code
Nodes: 2 1 0
\endcode

\code
  std::cout << "Edges:";
  for (EdgeIt i(g); g.valid(i); g.next(i))
    std::cout << " (" << g.id(g.tail(i)) << "," << g.id(g.head(i)) << ")";
  std::cout << std::endl;
\endcode

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

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

\code
  NodeIt first_node(g);

  std::cout << "Out-edges of node " << g.id(first_node) << ":";
  for (OutEdgeIt i(g, first_node); g.valid(i); g.next(i))
    std::cout << " (" << g.id(g.tail(i)) << "," << g.id(g.head(i)) << ")"; 
  std::cout << std::endl;

  std::cout << "In-edges of node " << g.id(first_node) << ":";
  for (InEdgeIt i(g, first_node); g.valid(i); g.next(i))
    std::cout << " (" << g.id(g.tail(i)) << "," << g.id(g.head(i)) << ")"; 
  std::cout << std::endl;
\endcode

\code
Out-edges of node 2: (2,0) (2,1)
In-edges of node 2: (0,2) (1,2)
\endcode

We can also iterate through the in and out-edges of a node. In the above
example we print out the in and out-edges of the first node of the graph.

\code
  Graph::EdgeMap<int> m(g);

  for (EdgeIt e(g); g.valid(e); g.next(e))
    m.set(e, 10 - g.id(e));
  
  std::cout << "Id Edge  Value" << std::endl;
  for (EdgeIt e(g); g.valid(e); g.next(e))
    std::cout << g.id(e) << "  (" << g.id(g.tail(e)) << "," << g.id(g.head(e))
      << ") " << m[e] << std::endl;
\endcode

\code
Id Edge  Value
4  (0,2) 6
2  (1,2) 8
5  (0,1) 5
0  (2,1) 10
3  (1,0) 7
1  (2,0) 9
\endcode

In generic graph optimization programming graphs are not containers rather
incidence structures which are iterable in many ways. HugoLib introduces
concepts that allow us to attach containers to graphs. These containers are
called maps.

In the example above we create an EdgeMap which assigns an int value to all
edges of the graph. We use the set member function of the map to write values
into the map and the operator[] to retrieve them.

Here we used the maps provided by the ListGraph class, but you can also write
your own maps. You can read more about using maps \ref maps "here".
