NAME

Graph::Easy::As_sparse6 - stringize Graph::Easy to sparse6 format

SYNOPSIS

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

use Graph::Easy::As_sparse6;
print $graph->as_sparse6;

DESCRIPTION

Graph::Easy::As_sparse6 adds an as_sparse6() method to Graph::Easy to give a graph as a string of sparse6. This format is per

The format represents an undirected graph possibly with multi-edges and self loops. If $graph is directed then an edge in either direction is written. If there's edges both ways then a multi-edge 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_sparse6 ()

Return a string which is the sparse6 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 >>sparse6<<.
