NAME

Graph::Maker::Beineke - create Beineke non-line graphs

SYNOPSIS

use Graph::Maker::Beineke;
$graph = Graph::Maker->new ('Beineke', G => 9);

DESCRIPTION

Graph::Maker::Beineke creates Graph.pm graphs of the 9 graphs given by Beineke

Beineke shows that line graphs can be characterized as all graphs which do not contain as induced sub-graphs any of these 9 graphs.

                                        G9 =  wheel-6

G1 is the claw (star-4) and is created by Graph::Maker::Star. G9 is the wheel-6 and is created by Graph::Maker::Wheel. The drawing for G8 means edges 4-to-5 and 4-to-6. Similarly in G6 2-to-5 and 2-to-6. Beineke draw G8 as squares

G8  2---3
    | / |
    1---4
    | / |
    5---6

The vertex numbering is slightly arbitrary but attempts some similarity between the graphs, including having the outer vertices numbered around in the style of the wheel-6 which is G9

These graphs are just a fixed set of 9 but are a convenient way to have some or all.

FUNCTIONS

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

The key/value parameters are

G           => integer 1 to 9
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 both forward and backward between vertices. Option undirected => 1 creates an undirected graph and for it there is a single edge between vertices.
