public class ASCIIGraph
extends ImmutableSequentialGraph

An ImmutableGraph that corresponds to graphs stored in a human-readable ASCII format where each line contains the list of successors of a given node.

The file format is as follows: the graph is stored in a file named basename.graph-txt. The first line contains the number of nodes, n. Then, n lines follow, the i-th line containing the successors of node i in increasing order (nodes are numbered from 0 to n−1). Successors are separated by a single space.

Contrarily to other classes, the load methods of this class do not always return instances of this class. In particular, loadOffline(CharSequence) and loadOnce(InputStream) will return an instance of this class for offline access. The instance will not provide random access, but sequential access will be backed by the original text file and only one array of successor will be loaded in core memory at any time.

The load(CharSequence) method, on the other hand, will return an instance of ArrayListMutableGraph built by copying an offline instance of this class.

Using ASCIIGraph to convert your data

A simple (albeit rather inefficient) way to import data into WebGraph is using ASCII graphs. Suppose you create the following file, named example.graph-txt:

  2
  1
  0 1
  

Then, the command

  java it.unimi.dsi.webgraph.BVGraph -g ASCIIGraph example bvexample
  

will produce a compressed graph in BVGraph format with basename bvexample. Even more convenient is the loadOnce(InputStream) method, which reads from an input stream an ASCII graph and exposes it for a single traversal. It can be used, for instance, with the main method of BVGraph to generate somehow an ASCII graph and store it in compressed form on the fly. The previous example could be then rewritten as

  java it.unimi.dsi.webgraph.BVGraph -1 -g ASCIIGraph dummy bvexample <example.graph-txt

Constructor Details

ASCIIGraph

protected ASCIIGraph(CharSequence graphFile)
              throws NumberFormatException,
IOException

Throws:

NumberFormatException

IOException

ASCIIGraph

public ASCIIGraph(InputStream is)
           throws NumberFormatException,
IOException

Creates a read-once ASCII graph. Instances created using this constructor can be only accessed using a single call to nodeIterator(int).

Parameters:

is - an input stream containing an ASCII graph.

Throws:

NumberFormatException

IOException

Method Details

numNodes

public int numNodes()

Description copied from class: ImmutableGraph

Returns the number of nodes of this graph.

Albeit this method is not optional, it is allowed that this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException if this graph has never been entirely traversed using a node iterator. This apparently bizarre behaviour is necessary to support implementations as ArcListASCIIGraph, which do not know the actual number of nodes until a traversal has been completed.

Specified by:

numNodes in class ImmutableGraph

Returns:

the number of nodes.

nodeIterator

public NodeIterator nodeIterator(int from)

Description copied from class: ImmutableGraph

Returns a node iterator for scanning the graph sequentially, starting from the given node.

Overrides:

nodeIterator in class ImmutableSequentialGraph

Parameters:

from - the node from which the iterator will iterate.

Returns:

a NodeIterator for accessing nodes and successors sequentially.

splitNodeIterators

public NodeIterator[] splitNodeIterators(int howMany)

Description copied from class: ImmutableGraph

Returns an array of node iterators, scanning each a portion of the nodes of a graph. Iterators are guaranteed to scan mutually disjoint sets of nodes, and every node is guaranteed to be scanned by one iterator.

This is an optional operation. If implemented, though, the returned iterators must properly implement NodeIterator.copy(int).

Overrides:

splitNodeIterators in class ImmutableGraph

Parameters:

howMany - the number of iterators to be returned (at the end of the array, some of them may be empty).

Returns:

the required iterators.
