Class Sparse6GraphReader

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    GraphReader<Integer,​Integer>
    public class Sparse6GraphReader
extends Object
    Read a graph in 'sparse6' format.

    'sparse6' is a format for storing undirected graphs in a compact manner, using only printable ASCII characters. Files in these format have text type and contain one line per graph. It is space-efficient for large sparse graphs. The format support graphs with vertices numbered 0..n-1 only, where n is the number of vertices, and edges numbered 0..m-1 only, where m is the number of edges. A sparse6 file contains the number of vertices, following by a list of edges, encoded in bytes, each in range 63..126 which are the printable ASCII characters. Each byte encode 6 bits.

    The format does not support specifying the ids of the edges, therefore the reader will number them from 0 to m-1 in the order it reads them.

    Self edges and parallel edges are supported by the format. The full description of the format can be found here, which also define the 'graph6' format, which is used for dense graph. See Graph6GraphReader for reading graphs in 'graph6' format.

    File with a graph in 'sparse6' format usually have the extension .s6.
