NAME

Graph::Maker::Starlike - create star-like graphs

SYNOPSIS

use Graph::Maker::Starlike;
$graph = Graph::Maker->new ('starlike', arm_list => [3,1,4]);

DESCRIPTION

Graph::Maker::Starlike creates Graph.pm starlike graphs. A starlike graph has a centre vertex and from it some arms which are linear paths. For example

            *                arm_list => [2,1,3,3]
            |
*---*---*---*---*---*
            |
            *
            |
            *
            |
            *

A zero in arm_list is taken to be arm of no vertices, resulting in nothing added from the centre.

FUNCTIONS

$graph = Graph::Maker->new('starlike', key => value, ...)

The key/value parameters are

arm_list => arrayref of integers
graph_maker => subr(key=>value) constructor, default Graph->new

Other parameters are passed to the constructor, either graph_maker or Graph->new().

If the graph is directed (the default) then edges are added in both directions. Option undirected => 1 creates an undirected graph and for it there is a single edge each.
