planarity(1) The Edge Addition Planarity Suite

SYNOPSIS

planarity [-q] [-h|-help] [-i|-info] [-r] [-s] [-rm] [-rn]

DESCRIPTION

Invokes the Edge Addition Planarity Suite commandline tool.

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

When used in batch mode, the tool returns 0 for a planar graph, 1 for a nonplanar graph and -1 on error.

OPTIONS

-q
Quiet mode
-h, -help
Display some help
-i, -info
Display copyright, license and reference articles information

FEATURES

Features in batch mode.
-r C K N
Run the C command (see below) on K random graphs with N vertices
-s C I O [O2]
Run the C command (see below) on a specific graph given in the I input file, with output in the primary O file and complementary information in the secondary O2 file.
-rm N O [O2]
Compute a maximal planar random graph on N vertices with output in the primary O file and optionally the chosen graph in the O2 file.
-rn N O [O2]
Compute a nonplanar random graph (maximal planar and an edge) on N vertices with output in the primary O file and optionally the chosen graph in the O2 file.

COMMANDS

Determine which algorithm implementation to run
-p
Planar embedding and Kuratowski subgraph isolation
-d
Planar graph drawing by visibility representation
-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
-a
All of the above

EXAMPLES

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
