DESCRIPTION
       A directed graph is a structure containing two collections of elements,
       called  nodes and arcs respectively, together with a relation ("connec‐
       tivity") that places a general structure upon the nodes and arcs.

       Each arc is connected to two nodes, one of which is called  the	source
       and  the other the target. This imposes a direction upon the arc, which
       is said to go from the source to the target. It is allowed that	source
       and  target  of an arc are the same node. Such an arc is called a loop.
       Whenever a node is either the source or target of an arc both are  said
       to be adjacent. This extends into a relation between nodes, i.e. if two
       nodes are connected through at least one arc they are said to be	 adja‐
       cent too.

       Each node can be the source and target for any number of arcs. The for‐
       mer are called the outgoing arcs of the node, the latter	 the  incoming
       arcs  of	 the  node. The number of arcs in either set is called the in-
       degree resp. the out-degree of the node.

       In addition to maintaining the node and arc relationships,  this	 graph
       implementation  allows  any number of named attributes to be associated
       with the graph itself, and each node or arc.

       Note: The major version of the package struct has been changed to  ver‐
       sion  2.0, due to backward incompatible changes in the API of this mod‐
       ule. Please read the section Changes for 2.0 for a  full	 list  of  all
       changes, incompatible and otherwise.

       Note:  A	 C-implementation  of the command can be had from the location
       http://www.purl.org/NET/schlenker/tcl/cgraph.	     See	  also
       http://wiki.tcl.tk/cgraph.   This implementation uses a bit less memory
       than the tcl version provided here directly, and is faster. Its support
       is limited to versions of the package before 2.0.

       As  of  version	2.2 of this package a critcl based C implementation is
       available from here as well. This implementation however	 requires  Tcl
       8.4 to run.

       The main command of the package is:

       ::struct::graph ?graphName? ?=|:=|as|deserialize source?
	      The command creates a new graph object with an associated global
	      Tcl command whose name is graphName.  This command may  be  used
	      to invoke various operations on the graph.  It has the following
	      general form:

	      graphName option ?arg arg ...?
		     Option and the args determine the exact behavior  of  the
		     command.

       If  graphName  is  not specified a unique name will be generated by the
       package itself. If a source is specified the new graph will be initial‐
       ized  to	 it.  For  the	operators =, :=, and as the source argument is
       interpreted as the name of another graph	 object,  and  the  assignment
       operator = will be executed. For the operator deserialize the source is
       a serialized graph object and deserialize will be executed.

       In other words

	      ::struct::graph mygraph = b

       is equivalent to

	      ::struct::graph mygraph
	      mygraph = b

       and

	      ::struct::graph mygraph deserialize $b

       is equivalent to

	      ::struct::graph mygraph
	      mygraph deserialize $b

       The following commands are possible for graph objects:

       graphName = sourcegraph
	      This is the assignment operator for graph objects. It copies the
	      graph  contained	in the graph object sourcegraph over the graph
	      data in graphName. The old contents of graphName are deleted  by
	      this operation.

	      This operation is in effect equivalent to

	      graphName deserialize [sourcegraph serialize]

       The  operation assumes that the sourcegraph provides the method serial‐
       ize and that this method returns a valid graph serialization.

       graphName --> destgraph
	      This is the reverse assignment operator for  graph  objects.  It
	      copies  the  graph  contained in the graph object graphName over
	      the graph data in the object destgraph.	The  old  contents  of
	      destgraph are deleted by this operation.

	      This operation is in effect equivalent to

	      destgraph deserialize [graphName serialize]

       The  operation assumes that the destgraph provides the method deserial‐
       ize and that this method takes a graph serialization.

       graphName append key value
	      Appends a value to one of the keyed values associated  with  the
	      graph.  Returns the new value given to the attribute key.

       graphName deserialize serialization
	      This  is the complement to serialize. It replaces the graph data
	      in graphName with	 the  graph  described	by  the	 serialization
	      value.  The old contents of graphName are deleted by this opera‐
	      tion.

       graphName destroy
	      Destroys the graph, including its storage space  and  associated
	      command.

       graphName arc append arc key value
	      Appends  a  value	 to one of the keyed values associated with an
	      arc. Returns the new value given to the attribute key.

       graphName arc attr key

       graphName arc attr key -arcs list

       graphName arc attr key -glob globpattern

       graphName arc attr key -regexp repattern
	      This method retrieves the value of the attribute named key,  for
	      all  arcs	 in  the graph (matching the restriction specified via
	      one of the possible options) and having the specified attribute.

	      The result is a dictionary mapping from arc names to  the	 value
	      of  attribute  key  at  that arc.	 Arcs not having the attribute
	      key, or not passing a specified restriction, are not  listed  in
	      the result.

	      The possible restrictions are:

	      -arcs  The  value	 is a list of arcs. Only the arcs mentioned in
		     this list are searched for the attribute.

	      -glob  The value is a glob pattern. Only the arcs in  the	 graph
		     whose  names  match  this	pattern	 are  searched for the
		     attribute.

	      -regexp
		     The value is a regular expression. Only the arcs  in  the
		     graph whose names match this pattern are searched for the
		     attribute.

       graphName arc delete arc ?arc ...?
	      Remove the specified arcs from the graph.

       graphName arc exists arc
	      Return true if the specified arc exists in the graph.

       graphName arc flip arc
	      Reverses the direction of the named arc,	i.e.  the  source  and
	      target nodes of the arc are exchanged with each other.

       graphName arc get arc key
	      Returns the value associated with the key key for the arc.

       graphName arc getall arc ?pattern?
	      Returns a dictionary (suitable for use with [array set]) for the
	      arc.  If the pattern is  specified  only	the  attributes	 whose
	      names match the pattern will be part of the returned dictionary.
	      The pattern is a glob pattern.

       graphName arc getunweighted
	      Returns a list containing the names of all  arcs	in  the	 graph
	      which have no weight associated with them.

       graphName arc getweight arc
	      Returns  the  weight associated with the arc. Throws an error if
	      the arc has no weight associated with it.

       graphName arc keys arc ?pattern?
	      Returns a list of keys for the arc.  If the pattern is specified
	      only  the	 attributes whose names match the pattern will be part
	      of the returned list. The pattern is a glob pattern.

       graphName arc keyexists arc key
	      Return true if the specified key exists for the arc.

       graphName arc insert start end ?child?
	      Insert an arc named child into the graph beginning at  the  node
	      start  and ending at the node end. If the name of the new arc is
	      not specified the system will generate a unique name of the form
	      arcx.

       graphName arc lappend arc key value
	      Appends  a  value (as a list) to one of the keyed values associ‐
	      ated with an arc. Returns the new value given to	the  attribute
	      key.

       graphName arc rename arc newname
	      Renames the arc arc to newname. An error is thrown if either the
	      arc does not exist, or a arc with name newname does  exist.  The
	      result of the command is the new name of the arc.

       graphName arc set arc key ?value?
	      Set  or  get one of the keyed values associated with an arc.  An
	      arc may have any number of keyed values associated with it.   If
	      value  is	 not specified, this command returns the current value
	      assigned to the key; if value is specified, this command assigns
	      that value to the key, and returns that value.

       graphName arc setunweighted ?weight?
	      Sets  the weight of all arcs without a weight to weight. Returns
	      the empty string as its result. If not present  weight  defaults
	      to 0.

       graphName arc setweight arc weight
	      Sets the weight of the arc to weight. Returns weight.

       graphName arc unsetweight arc
	      Removes  the  weight of the arc, if present. Does nothing other‐
	      wise. Returns the empty string.

       graphName arc hasweight arc
	      Determines if the arc has a  weight  associated  with  it.   The
	      result  is  a  boolean  value,  True if a weight is defined, and
	      False otherwise.

       graphName arc source arc
	      Return the node the given arc begins at.

       graphName arc target arc
	      Return the node the given arc ends at.

       graphName arc nodes arc
	      Return the nodes the given arc begins and ends at, as a two-ele‐
	      ment list.

       graphName arc move-source arc newsource
	      Changes  the source node of the arc to newsource. It can be said
	      that the arc rotates around its target node.

       graphName arc move-target arc newtarget
	      Changes the target node of the arc to newtarget. It can be  said
	      that the arc rotates around its source node.

       graphName arc move arc newsource newtarget
	      Changes  both  source  and target nodes of the arc to newsource,
	      and newtarget resp.

       graphName arc unset arc key
	      Remove a keyed value from the arc arc. The method will do	 noth‐
	      ing if the key does not exist.

       graphName arc weights
	      Returns  a dictionary whose keys are the names of all arcs which
	      have a weight associated with them, and  the  values  are	 these
	      weights.

       graphName   arcs	  ?-key	  key?	 ?-value  value?  ?-filter  cmdprefix?
       ?-in|-out|-adj|-inner|-embedding node node...?
	      Returns a list of arcs in the graph. If no restriction is speci‐
	      fied  a  list  containing all arcs is returned. Restrictions can
	      limit the list of returned arcs based on the nodes that are con‐
	      nected  by the arc, on the keyed values associated with the arc,
	      or both. A general filter command	 can  be  used	as  well.  The
	      restrictions that involve connected nodes take a variable number
	      of nodes as argument, specified after the name of	 the  restric‐
	      tion itself.

	      The  restrictions	 imposed by either -in, -out, -adj, -inner, or
	      -embedded are applied first. Specifying more than one of them is
	      illegal.

	      After  that  the	restrictions  set  via	-key  (and -value) are
	      applied. Specifying more than one -key (and -value) is  illegal.
	      Specifying -value alone, without -key is illegal as well.

	      Any  restriction set through -filter is applied last. Specifying
	      more than one -filter is illegal.

	      Coming back to the restrictions based on a  set  of  nodes,  the
	      command recognizes the following switches:

	      -in    Return  a	list  of  all  arcs whose target is one of the
		     nodes in the set of nodes. I.e. it computes the union  of
		     all incoming arcs of the nodes in the set.

	      -out   Return  a	list  of  all  arcs whose source is one of the
		     nodes in the set of nodes. I.e. it computes the union  of
		     all outgoing arcs of the nodes in the set.

	      -adj   Return a list of all arcs adjacent to at least one of the
		     nodes in the set. This is the union of the nodes returned
		     by -in and -out.

	      -inner Return  a	list  of all arcs which are adjacent to two of
		     the nodes in the set. This is the set of arcs in the sub‐
		     graph spawned by the specified nodes.

	      -embedding
		     Return  a list of all arcs adjacent to exactly one of the
		     nodes in the set. This is the set of arcs connecting  the
		     subgraph  spawned	by  the specified nodes to the rest of
		     the graph.

	      -key key
		     Limit the list of arcs that are returned  to  those  arcs
		     that have an associated key key.

	      -value value
		     This  restriction	can  only  be used in combination with
		     -key. It limits the list of arcs  that  are  returned  to
		     those arcs whose associated key key has the value value.

	      -filter cmdrefix
		     Limit  the	 list  of arcs that are returned to those arcs
		     that pass the test. The command in	 cmdprefix  is	called
		     with two arguments, the name of the graph object, and the
		     name of the arc in question. It is executed in  the  con‐
		     text  of  the  caller  and has to return a boolean value.
		     Arcs for which the command returns false are removed from
		     the result list before it is returned to the caller.

       graphName lappend key value
	      Appends  a  value (as a list) to one of the keyed values associ‐
	      ated with	 the  graph.  Returns  the  new	 value	given  to  the
	      attribute key.

       graphName node append node key value
	      Appends  a  value	 to one of the keyed values associated with an
	      node. Returns the new value given to the attribute key.

       graphName node attr key

       graphName node attr key -nodes list

       graphName node attr key -glob globpattern

       graphName node attr key -regexp repattern
	      This method retrieves the value of the attribute named key,  for
	      all  nodes  in the graph (matching the restriction specified via
	      one of the possible options) and having the specified attribute.

	      The result is a dictionary mapping from node names to the	 value
	      of  attribute  key at that node.	Nodes not having the attribute
	      key, or not passing a specified restriction, are not  listed  in
	      the result.

	      The possible restrictions are:

	      -nodes The value is a list of nodes. Only the nodes mentioned in
		     this list are searched for the attribute.

	      -glob  The value is a glob pattern. Only the nodes in the	 graph
		     whose  names  match  this	pattern	 are  searched for the
		     attribute.

	      -regexp
		     The value is a regular expression. Only the nodes in  the
		     graph whose names match this pattern are searched for the
		     attribute.

       graphName node degree ?-in|-out? node
	      Return the number of arcs adjacent to the specified node. If one
	      of the restrictions -in or -out is given only the incoming resp.
	      outgoing arcs are counted.

       graphName node delete node ?node...?
	      Remove the specified nodes from the graph.  All  of  the	nodes'
	      arcs will be removed as well to prevent unconnected arcs.

       graphName node exists node
	      Return true if the specified node exists in the graph.

       graphName node get node key
	      Return the value associated with the key key for the node.

       graphName node getall node ?pattern?
	      Returns a dictionary (suitable for use with [array set]) for the
	      node.  If the pattern is specified  only	the  attributes	 whose
	      names match the pattern will be part of the returned dictionary.
	      The pattern is a glob pattern.

       graphName node keys node ?pattern?
	      Returns a list of keys for the node.  If the pattern  is	speci‐
	      fied  only  the attributes whose names match the pattern will be
	      part of the returned list. The pattern is a glob pattern.

       graphName node keyexists node key
	      Return true if the specified key exists for the node.

       graphName node insert ?node...?
	      Insert one or more nodes into the graph. The new nodes  have  no
	      arcs connected to them. If no node is specified one node will be
	      inserted, and the system will generate a unique name of the form
	      nodex for it.

       graphName node lappend node key value
	      Appends  a  value (as a list) to one of the keyed values associ‐
	      ated with an node. Returns the new value given to the  attribute
	      key.

       graphName node opposite node arc
	      Return the node at the other end of the specified arc, which has
	      to be adjacent to the given node.

       graphName node rename node newname
	      Renames the node node to newname. An error is thrown  if	either
	      the node does not exist, or a node with name newname does exist.
	      The result of the command is the new name of the node.

       graphName node set node key ?value?
	      Set or get one of the keyed values associated  with  a  node.  A
	      node may have any number of keyed values associated with it.  If
	      value is not specified, this command returns the	current	 value
	      assigned to the key; if value is specified, this command assigns
	      that value to the key.

       graphName node unset node key
	      Remove a keyed value from the node  node.	 The  method  will  do
	      nothing if the key does not exist.

       graphName   nodes   ?-key   key?	 ?-value  value?  ?-filter  cmdprefix?
       ?-in|-out|-adj|-inner|-embedding node node...?
	      Return a list of nodes in the graph. Restrictions can limit  the
	      list  of	returned nodes based on neighboring nodes, or based on
	      the keyed values associated with the node. The restrictions that
	      involve  neighboring  nodes  have	 a  list of nodes as argument,
	      specified after the name of the restriction itself.

	      The possible restrictions are the same as for method  arcs.  The
	      exact meanings change slightly, as they operate on nodes instead
	      of arcs. The command recognizes:

	      -in    Return a list of all nodes with at least one outgoing arc
		     ending  in	 a  node  found in the specified set of nodes.
		     Alternatively specified as the set of  source  nodes  for
		     the -in arcs of the node set. The incoming neighbours.

	      -out   Return a list of all nodes with at least one incoming arc
		     starting in a node found in the specified set  of	nodes.
		     Alternatively  specified  as  the set of target nodes for
		     the -out arcs of the node set. The outgoing neighbours.

	      -adj   This is the union of the nodes returned by -in and	 -out.
		     The neighbours.

	      -inner The  set of neighbours (see -adj above) which are also in
		     the set of nodes. I.e. the intersection between  the  set
		     of nodes and the neighbours per -adj.

	      -embedding
		     The  set  of neighbours (see -adj above) which are not in
		     the set of nodes. I.e. the difference between the	neigh‐
		     bours as per -adj, and the set of nodes.

	      -key key
		     Limit  the list of nodes that are returned to those nodes
		     that have an associated key key.

	      -value value
		     This restriction can only be  used	 in  combination  with
		     -key.  It	limits	the list of nodes that are returned to
		     those nodes whose associated key key has the value value.

	      -filter cmdrefix
		     Limit the list of nodes that are returned to those	 nodes
		     that  pass	 the  test. The command in cmdprefix is called
		     with two arguments, the name of the graph object, and the
		     name  of the node in question. It is executed in the con‐
		     text of the caller and has to  return  a  boolean	value.
		     Nodes  for	 which	the  command returns false are removed
		     from the result list before it is returned to the caller.

       graphName get key
	      Return the value associated with the key key for the graph.

       graphName getall ?pattern?
	      Returns a dictionary (suitable for use with [array set]) for the
	      whole  graph.   If  the pattern is specified only the attributes
	      whose names match the pattern will be part of the returned  dic‐
	      tionary. The pattern is a glob pattern.

       graphName keys ?pattern?
	      Returns  a  list of keys for the whole graph.  If the pattern is
	      specified only the attributes whose names match the pattern will
	      be part of the returned list. The pattern is a glob pattern.

       graphName keyexists key
	      Return true if the specified key exists for the whole graph.

       graphName serialize ?node...?
	      This method serializes the sub-graph spanned up by the nodes. In
	      other words it returns a tcl value  completely  describing  that
	      graph. If no nodes are specified the whole graph will be serial‐
	      ized.  This allows, for example, the transfer of	graph  objects
	      (or  parts  thereof)  over arbitrary channels, persistence, etc.
	      This method is also the basis for both the copy constructor  and
	      the assignment operator.

	      The  result of this method has to be semantically identical over
	      all implementations of the graph interface. This	is  what  will
	      enable  us  to copy graph data between different implementations
	      of the same interface.

	      The result is a list containing a multiple of three items,  plus
	      one!  In other words, '[llength $serial] % 3 == 1'. Valid values
	      include 1, 4, 7, ...

	      The last element of the list  is	a  dictionary  containing  the
	      attributes associated with the whole graph.  Regarding the other
	      elements; each triple consists of

	      [1]    The name of the node to be described,

	      [2]    A dictionary containing the  attributes  associated  with
		     the node,

	      [3]    And a list describing all the arcs starting at that node.

       The  elements  of  the arc list are lists containing three or four ele‐
       ments each, i.e.

	      [1]    The name of the arc described by the element,

	      [2]    A reference to the destination node of the arc. This ref‐
		     erence  is an integer number given the index of that node
		     in the main serialization list. As	 that  it  is  greater
		     than  or equal to zero, less than the length of the seri‐
		     alization, and a multiple of three.  Note:	 For  internal
		     consistency no arc name may be used twice, whether in the
		     same node, or at some other node. This is a  global  con‐
		     sistency requirement for the serialization.

	      [3]    And  a  dictionary	 containing  the attributes associated
		     with the arc.

	      [4]    The  weight  associated  with  the	 arc.  This  value  is
		     optional. Its non-presence means that the arc in question
		     has no weight associated with it.

		     Note: This information is new, compared to the serializa‐
		     tion  of  graph 2.3 and earlier. By making it an optional
		     element the new format is maximally compatible  with  the
		     old.  This	 means	that  any graph not using weights will
		     generate a serialization which is still understood by the
		     older  graph  package. A serialization will not be under‐
		     stood any longer by the older packages if,	 and  only  if
		     the  graph	 it  was generated from actually has arcs with
		     weights.

       For  all	 attribute  dictionaries  they	keys  are  the	names  of  the
       attributes, and the values are the values for each name.

       Note: The order of the nodes in the serialization has no relevance, nor
       has the order of the arcs per node.

	      #
	      # This assumes that the graph has neither attribute data nor weighted arcs.

       graphName set key ?value?
	      Set or get one of the keyed values associated with  a  graph.  A
	      graph may have any number of keyed values associated with it. If
	      value is not specified, this command returns the	current	 value
	      assigned to the key; if value is specified, this command assigns
	      that value to the key.

       graphName swap node1 node2
	      Swap the position of node1 and node2 in the graph.

       graphName unset key
	      Remove a keyed value from the graph. The method will do  nothing
	      if the key does not exist.

       graphName  walk node ?-order order? ?-type type? ?-dir direction? -com‐
       mand cmd
	      Perform a breadth-first or depth-first walk of the graph	start‐
	      ing  at  the node node going in either the direction of outgoing
	      or opposite to the incoming arcs.

	      The type of walk, breadth-first or depth-first, is determined by
	      the  value  of  type; bfs indicates breadth-first, dfs indicates
	      depth-first.  Depth-first is the default.

	      The order of the walk, pre-order, post-order  or	both-order  is
	      determined  by the value of order; pre indicates pre-order, post
	      indicates post-order, both indicates  both-order.	 Pre-order  is
	      the  default.  Pre-order	walking	 means	that a node is visited
	      before any of its neighbors (as defined by  the  direction,  see
	      below).  Post-order walking means that a parent is visited after
	      any of its neighbors. Both-order walking means that  a  node  is
	      visited  before  and after any of its neighbors. The combination
	      of a breadth-first walk with post- or both-order is illegal.

	      The direction of the walk is determined by  the  value  of  dir;
	      backward	indicates the direction opposite to the incoming arcs,
	      forward indicates the direction of the outgoing arcs.

	      As the walk progresses, the command cmd  will  be	 evaluated  at
	      each node, with the mode of the call (enter or leave) and values
	      graphName and the name of the current node appended. For a  pre-
	      order  walk,  all	 nodes are entered, for a post-order all nodes
	      are left. In a both-order walk the first visit of a node	enters
	      it, the second visit leaves it.

CHANGES FOR 2.0
       The following noteworthy changes have occurred:

       [1]    The  API for accessing attributes and their values has been sim‐
	      plified.

	      All functionality regarding the  default	attribute  "data"  has
	      been removed. This default attribute does not exist anymore. All
	      accesses to attributes have to specify the name of the attribute
	      in  question.  This  backward  incompatible change allowed us to
	      simplify the signature of all methods handling attributes.

	      Especially the flag -key is not required anymore, even more, its
	      use  is now forbidden. Please read the documentation for the arc
	      and node methods	set,  get,  getall,  unset,  append,  lappend,
	      keyexists and keys for a description of the new API's.

       [2]    The  methods  keys and getall now take an optional pattern argu‐
	      ment and will return only attribute data for keys matching  this
	      pattern.

       [3]    Arcs and nodes can now be renamed. See the documentation for the
	      methods arc rename and node rename.

       [4]    The structure has been extended with API's for the serialization
	      and deserialization of graph objects, and a number of operations
	      based on them (graph assignment, copy construction).

	      Please read the documentation for the methods serialize, deseri‐
	      alize,  =, and -->, and the documentation on the construction of
	      graph objects.

	      Beyond the copying of whole graph objects these new  API's  also
	      enable the transfer of graph objects over arbitrary channels and
	      for easy persistence.

       [5]    A new method, attr, was added to both arc and node allowing  the
	      query  and retrieval of attribute data without regard to arc and
	      node relationships.

       [6]    Both methods arcs and nodes have been extended with the  ability
	      to  select  arcs	and nodes based on an arbitrary filtering cri‐
	      terium.
