planarity - Man Page

Invokes the Edge Addition Planarity Suite command-line tool, either in interactive mode or in batch mode.

Without a parameter, the tool presents a menu-driven interactive interface.

When a parameter is given, it runs in batch mode and returns 0 or 1 for a successful result and -1 on error.

-i,  -info

-q

Quiet mode optional modifier, see below which options accept it.

-s [-q] COMMAND INPUT OUTPUT [COMPLEMENT]

Run the COMMAND (see below) on a specific graph given in the INPUT file, with output in the primary OUTPUT file and complementary information, if any, in the secondary COMPLEMENT file (e.g. an ASCII art rendition for the planar graph drawing command). The return value is 0 if the specific graph is embeddable (e.g. it is planar or doesn't contain a homeomorphic subgraph) and 1 if it isn't embeddable (e.g. non planar or does contain a homeomorphic subgraph).

-r [-q] COMMAND K N [OUTPUT]

Run the COMMAND (see below) on K random graphs with N vertices. Optionally, write all generated graphs to .g6 OUTPUT.

-rm [-q] N OUTPUT [COMPLEMENT]

Generate a random maximal planar graph with N vertices, then output its planar embedding in the primary OUTPUT file and optionally the generated graph in the COMPLEMENT file.

-rn [-q] N OUTPUT [COMPLEMENT]

Generate a random nonplanar graph (maximal planar plus one edge) with N vertices, then output a Kuratowski subgraph of the generated graph in the primary OUTPUT file and optionally the gnerated graph in the COMPLEMENT file.

[-q] -(gam) INPUT OUTPUT

Transform single graph in INPUT file (any supported format) to .g6 (g), adjacency list (a), or adjacency matrix (m) format and output to OUTPUT file.

[-q] COMMAND INPUT OUTPUT

Run the COMMAND (see below) on graphs in .g6 encoded INPUT file, then output summary statistics to OUTPUT file.

Determine which algorithm implementation to run:

-p

Planar embedding and Kuratowski subgraph isolation

-d

Planar graph drawing by visibility representation (and optional ASCII art rendition)

-o

Outerplanar embedding and obstruction isolation

-2

Search for subgraph homeomorphic to K_{2,3}

-3

Search for subgraph homeomorphic to K_{3,3}

-4

Search for subgraph homeomorphic to K_4

planarity -s -q -p infile.txt embedding.out [obstruction.out]

Process infile.txt in quiet mode (-q), putting planar embedding in embedding.out or (optionally) a Kuratowski subgraph in obstruction.out. Process returns 0=planar, 1=nonplanar, -1=error

planarity -s -q -d infile.txt embedding.out [drawing.out]

If graph in infile.txt is planar, then put embedding in embedding.out and (optionally) an ASCII art drawing in drawing.out. Process returns 0=planar, 1=nonplanar, -1=error
