These clients are concerned with automorphisms of graphs and determining whether graphs are isomorphic.
automorphisms(Graph graph)Find the automorphism group of the graph.
Graph graph
We first create the vertex-edge graph of the square and then print its automorphism group:
> $g=new props::Graph(cube(2)->GRAPH->ADJACENCY); > print automorphisms($g); 0 2 1 3 1 0 3 2
These two permutations generate the group of all node permutations that preserve vertex-edge connectivity.
automorphisms(IncidenceMatrix<NonSymmetric> m)Find the automorphism group of the non-symmetric incidence matrix.
The group of combinatorial automorphisms of the 3-cube coincides with the group of (bipartite) graph automorphisms of the vertex/facet incidences. To print this group, type this:
> print automorphisms(cube(3)->VERTICES_IN_FACETS); (<0 1 4 5 2 3> <0 1 4 5 2 3 6 7>) (<2 3 0 1 4 5> <0 2 1 3 4 6 5 7>) (<1 0 2 3 4 5> <1 0 3 2 5 4 7 6>)
This means that the group is generated by three elements, one per line in the output. Each is written as a pair of permutations. The first gives the action on the facets, the second the action on the vertices.
automorphisms(IncidenceMatrix<Symmetric> m)Find the automorphism group of the symmetric incidence matrix.

neighborhood_graph(Matrix<Rational> D, Rational delta)Constructs the neighborhood graph of a point set S given a parameter delta. The set is passed as its so-called “distance matrix”, whose (i,j)-entry is the distance between point i and j. This matrix can e.g. be computed using the distance_matrix function. Two vertices will be adjacent if the distance of the corresponding points is less than delta.
Rational delta: the maximal distance of neighbored vertices
The following prints the neighborhood graph of a distance matrix with a limit of 3.3, producing the graph of a square:
> $D = new Matrix<Rational>([[0,17/10,21/10,42/10],[0,0,79/10,31/10],[0,0,0,6/10],[0,0,0,0]]); > print neighborhood_graph($D,3.3)->ADJACENCY; {1 2} {0 3} {0 3} {1 2}

> print petersen()->N_NODES; 10
random_graph(Int n)Constructs a random graph with n nodes according to the Erdos-Renyi model. The default is the G(n, p) model: Each edge is chosen uniformly with probability p. Optionally one can switch to the G(n, M) model to get a random graph on n nodes with exactly M edges. See P. Erdős and A. Rényi. On random graphs. Publ. Math. 6, 290–297 (1959; Zbl 0092.15705)
Int n
Rational p: the probability of an edge occurring; default 1/2
Int M: the number of edges in the graph
Bool try_connected: whether to try to generate a connected graph, default 1
Int max_attempts: If connected is set, specifies how many times to try to make a connected random graph before giving up.

graphviz(Visual::Object vis_obj …)
Draw the given graph or face lattice object using graphviz program neato or dot respectively. The output is rendered in PostScript format and fed into a viewer program, if one is configured. If you prefer to produce another output format, please use the File option and call the neato or dot program manually.
Visual::Object vis_obj …: objects to display
String File: “filename” or “AUTO” Store the graph description in a DOT source file without starting the interactive GUI. The .dot suffix is automatically added to the file name. Specify AUTO if you want the filename be automatically derived from the drawing title. You can also use any expression allowed for the open function, including “-” for terminal output, “&HANDLE” for an already opened file handle, or “| program” for a pipe.
The following creates a star graph with 4 nodes and visualizes it via graphviz with default options:
> $g = new Graph<Undirected>(ADJACENCY=>[[],[0],[0],[0]]); > graphviz($g->VISUAL);
The following shows some modified visualization style of the same graph:
> $g = new Graph<Undirected>(ADJACENCY=>[[],[0],[0],[0]]); > graphviz($g->VISUAL(NodeColor=>"green",EdgeColor=>"purple",EdgeThickness=>5));
hd_embedder(Array label_width)Create an embedding of the Lattice as a layered graph. The embedding algorithm tries to minimize the weighted sum of squares of edge lengths, starting from a random distribution. The weights are relative to the fatness of the layers. The y-space between the layers is constant.
Array label_width: estimates (better upper bounds) of the label width of each node. The computed layout guarantees that the distances between the nodes in a layer are at least equal to the widest label in this layer.
Bool dual: the node representing the empty face is put on the topmost level
Float eps: calculation accuracy.
Int seed: effects the initial placement of the nodes.
metapost(Visual::Object vis_obj …)Produce a MetaPost input file with given visual objects.
Visual::Object vis_obj …: objects to display
String File: “filename” or “AUTO” The MetaPost description always has to be stored in a file, there is no interactive viewer for this kind of visualization. For the file name you can use any expression allowed for the open function, including “-” for terminal output, “&HANDLE” for an already opened file handle, or “| program” for a pipe. Real file names are automatically completed with the .mp suffix if needed. The default setting “AUTO” lets the file name be derived from the drawing title. The automatically generated file name is displayed in the verbose mode.
The following prints a metapost description of the complete graph with 3 nodes in the console:
> metapost(complete(3)->VISUAL,File=>"-");
spring_embedder(Graph<Undirected> graph)Produce a 3-d embedding for the graph using the spring embedding algorithm along the lines of
> Thomas Fruchtermann and Edward Reingold:
> Graph Drawing by Force-directed Placement. > Software Practice and Experience Vol. 21, 1129-1164 (1992), no. 11. ? Parameters: :: ''[[.:common#Graph |Graph]]<[[.:common#Undirected |Undirected]]>'' ''graph'': to be embedded. ? Options: : affecting the desired picture
EdgeMap edge_weights: relative edge lengths. By default the embedding algorithm tries to stretch all edges to the same length.
Vector z-ordering: an objective function provides an additional force along the z-axis, trying to rearrange nodes in the order of the function growth.
Float z-factor: gain coefficient applied to the z-ordering force.
Int seed: random seed for initial node placement on a unit sphere.
Float scale: enlarges the ideal edge length
Float balance: changes the balance between the edge contraction and node repulsion forces
Float inertion: affects how the nodes are moved, can be used to restrain oscillations
Float viscosity: idem
Float eps: a threshold for point movement between iterations, below that it is considered to stand still
Int max-iterations: hard limit for computational efforts. The algorithm terminates at latest after that many iterations regardless of the convergence achieved so far.
The following prints a 3-dimensional embedding of the complete graph on 3 nodes using a specific seed and scaled edge lengths:
> print spring_embedder(complete(3)->ADJACENCY, scale=>5, seed=>123); 0.9512273649 -10.00210559 10.36309695 10.61947526 1.391783824 -9.666627553 -11.57070263 8.610321763 -0.6964693941

These types are auxiliary artifacts helping to build other classes, primarily representing template parameters or enumeration constants. They should not be used alone as property types or function arguments. In the most cases they won't even have user-accessible constructors.
NonsequentialDesignates a non-sequential lattice, that is, having nodes in arbitrary order. This flavor should only be used if an algorithm creating the lattice can't guarantee node ordering by rank.
SequentialDesignates a sequential lattice, that is, having all nodes sorted by rank. This is a preferred flavor, because it allows more compact and efficient persistent storage.
These property_types capture combinatorial information of the object. Combinatorial properties only depend on combinatorial data of the object like, e.g., the face lattice.

rank()node rank
InverseRankMap<SeqType>Mapping of lattice nodes to their ranks.
