Module petgraph::visit [] [src]

Graph traits and graph traversals.

The Into- Traits

Graph traits like IntoNeighbors create iterators and use the same pattern that IntoIterator does: the trait takes a reference to a graph, and produces an iterator. These traits are quite composable, but with the limitation that they only use shared references to graphs.

Graph Traversal

Dfs, Bfs, DfsPostOrder and Topo are basic visitors and they use “walker” methods: the visitors don't hold the graph as borrowed during traversal, only for the .next() call on the walker. They can be converted to iterators through the Walker trait.

There is also the callback based traversal depth_first_search.

Other Graph Traits

The traits are rather loosely coupled at the moment (which is intentional, but will develop a bit), and there are traits missing that could be added.

Not much is needed to be able to use the visitors on a graph. A graph needs to define GraphBase, IntoNeighbors and Visitable as a minimum.

Structs

Bfs

A breadth first search (BFS) of a graph.

Dfs

Visit nodes of a graph in a depth-first-search (DFS) emitting nodes in preorder (when they are first discovered).

DfsPostOrder

Visit nodes in a depth-first-search (DFS) emitting nodes in postorder (each node after all its descendants have been emitted).

EdgeFiltered

An edge-filtering graph adaptor.

EdgeFilteredEdges

A filtered edges iterator.

EdgeFilteredNeighbors

A filtered neighbors iterator.

NodeFiltered

A node-filtering graph adaptor.

NodeFilteredEdgeReferences

A filtered edges iterator.

NodeFilteredEdges

A filtered edges iterator.

NodeFilteredNeighbors

A filtered neighbors iterator.

NodeFilteredNodes

A filtered node references iterator.

Reversed

An edge-reversing graph adaptor.

ReversedEdgeReference

A reversed edge reference

ReversedEdgeReferences

A reversed edge references iterator.

Time

Strictly monotonically increasing event time for a depth first search.

Topo

A topological order traversal for a graph.

WalkerIter

A walker and its context wrapped into an iterator.

Enums

Control

Control flow for callbacks.

DfsEvent

A depth first search (DFS) visitor event.

Traits

ControlFlow

Control flow for callbacks.

Data

Define associated data for nodes and edges

EdgeRef

An edge reference.

FilterEdge

A graph filter for edges

FilterNode

A graph filter for nodes.

GetAdjacencyMatrix

Create or access the adjacency matrix of a graph.

GraphBase

Base graph trait: defines the associated node identifier and edge identifier types.

GraphProp

Edge kind property (directed or undirected edges)

GraphRef

A copyable reference to a graph.

IntoEdgeReferences

Access to the sequence of the graph’s edges

IntoEdges

Access to the edges of each node.

IntoEdgesDirected

Access to all edges of each node, in the specified direction.

IntoNeighbors

Access to the neighbors of each node

IntoNeighborsDirected

Access to the neighbors of each node, through incoming or outgoing edges.

IntoNodeIdentifiers

Access to the sequence of the graph’s NodeIds.

IntoNodeReferences

Access to the sequence of the graph’s nodes

NodeCompactIndexable

The graph’s NodeIds map to indices, in a range without holes.

NodeCount

A graph with a known node count.

NodeIndexable

The graph’s NodeIds map to indices

NodeRef

A node reference.

VisitMap

A mapping for storing the visited status for NodeId N.

Visitable

A graph that can create a map that tracks the visited status of its nodes.

Walker

A walker is a traversal state, but where part of the traversal information is supplied manually to each next call.

Functions

depth_first_search

A recursive depth first search.
