The patch [96f7cc46c91c] contains the port of the nauty reader.

Replying to deba:

The patch [96f7cc46c91c] contains the port of the nauty reader.

This changeset went to the main. Two comments:

  • I would like to suggest swapping the parameters of readNauty() in order to be more conform with the lgf tools
  • What's the use of the current return value? Couldn't we return something useful instead (or just void)?

I will make a patch

  • What's the use of the current return value? Couldn't we return something useful instead (or just void)?

The tool used regularly in while loop, therefore a bool or an std::istream& return can show, that the file is over. However the std::istream& return value is more conventional, like std::getline().

The [c6c6e1d863c4] swaps the parameters

It went to the main, thus I close the ticket.

Oops. The DIMACS loaders hasn't been ported, thus this ticket shouldn't have been closed.

By the way, I find the API of the DIMACS tools very problematic. Do you have any idea how to make it better?

I attached two improvement patches related to the nauty reader: [95df249983db], [c4c933e05fc0].

comment:10 Changed 15 years ago by Peter Kovacs

From the web site of nauty package:

nauty is a program for computing automorphism groups of graphs and digraphs

However the documentation says that our tool only supports undirected graphs. Is it right? Can't this function be used for directed nauty files? It would be better if it could be.

I dislike whitespace changes, and I really dislike changes that are unrelated from the purpose of the changeset (and from which is written in the commit log). For example [95df249983db] reformats two Doxygen comment blocks which are completely irrelevant to the nauty reader. Line-break changes can result in problems in the generated doc (Doxygen works often in a mysterious way).

It is much easier the locate accidental problems if we do not do nasty things like that.

Okay. [91e68d590e61] and [7c5d8de2eac7] are the clarified variants of the two former changesets.

Many thanks.

They are in the main branch now.

Summary: Port supports for other file formatsPort nauty reader

I created a separate ticket for porting the DIMACS readers, see #167.

So, if we consider the nauty reader to be finished, then we can close this ticket.

comment:15 in reply to:  10 Changed 15 years ago by Peter Kovacs

The only question is the support of direct graphs. I think Balazs could answer it.

Replying to kpeter:

Currently, I have found just one algorithm which generates directed graphs in nauty, namely the directg. The file format of this class is not well defined, because the directg cannot write digraph6 file, which should be the default output. The current output is simple text output, but I think it will be changed in the future.

However we can prepare for this format, for example we can rename the readNauty() to readNautyGraph(). What is your opinion?

Oops. Reading your comment I suppose that I made a faulty change in [7c5d8de2eac7] at line 41, since I thought that the 6 in graph6 is just a tipo. I'm sorry.

I think it is okay. It won't be so similar to the DIMACS function names, but as far as I understand a nauty file describes graphs, while a DIMACS file describes a problem related to a graph. This difference seems to be enough for this difference in the function names. So I support this renaming.

If you make a patch that renames the function, do not forget to add a corresponding line into the lemon-0.x-to-1.x.sh script.

Please repair it before we all forget.

Not to mention that the API of the DIMACS reader is bad as is, so we should not target a compatibility with it.

So I support this renaming.

So do I.
