NAME

Graph::Easy::As_graph6 - stringize Graph::Easy in graph6 format

SYNOPSIS

use Graph::Easy;
my $graph = Graph::Easy->new;
$graph->add_edge('foo','bar');

use Graph::Easy::As_graph6;
print $graph->as_graph6;

DESCRIPTION

Graph::Easy::As_graph6 adds an as_graph6() method to Graph::Easy to give a graph as a string of graph6. This format is per

The format represents an undirected graph without self-loops or multi-edges. Any self-loops in $graph are ignored. Multi-edges are written just once and if $graph is directed then an edge of either direction is written.

The format has no vertex names and no attributes. In the current implementation nodes are sorted alphabetically ($graph->sorted_nodes('name')) to give a consistent (though slightly arbitrary) vertex numbering.

See Graph::Graph6 for some notes on the format.

FUNCTIONS

The following new method is added to Graph::Easy.

$str = $graph->as_graph6 (key => value, ...)

Return a string which is the graph6 representation of $graph.

The string returned is printable ASCII. It includes a final newline "\n" so is suitable for writing directly to a file or similar. The only key/value option is

header   => boolean (default false)

If header is true then include a header >>graph6<<.
