DESCRIPTION
gvgen generates a variety of simple, regularly-structured
abstract graphs.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c n Generate a cycle with n vertices and edges.
-C x,y
Generate an x by y cylinder. This will have x*y ver-
tices and 2*x*y - y edges.
-g [f]x,y
Generate an x by y grid. If f is given, the grid is
folded, with an edge attaching each pair of opposing
corner vertices. This will have x*y vertices and 2*x*y
- y - x edges if unfolded and 2*x*y - y - x + 2 edges
if folded.
-G [f]x,y
Generate an x by y partial grid. If f is given, the
grid is folded, with an edge attaching each pair of
opposing corner vertices. This will have x*y vertices.
-h n Generate a hypercube of degree n. This will have 2^n
vertices and n*2^(n-1) edges.
-k n Generate a complete graph on n vertices with n*(n-1)/2
edges.
-b x,y
Generate a complete x by y bipartite graph. This will
have x+y vertices and x*y edges.
-p n Generate a path on n vertices. This will have n-1
edges.
-s n Generate a star on n vertices. This will have n-1
edges.
-S n Generate a Sierpinski graph of order n. This will have
3*(3^(n-1) - 1)/2 vertices and 3^n edges.

User Commands GVGEN(1)
-t n Generate a binary tree of height n. This will have
2^n-1 vertices and 2^n-2 edges.
-T x,y
Generate an x by y torus. This will have x*y vertices
and 2*x*y edges.
-w n Generate a path on n vertices. This will have n-1
edges.
-n prefix
Normally, integers are used as node names. If prefix is
specified, this will be prepended to the integer to
create the name.
-N name
Use name as the name of the graph. By default, the
graph is anonymous.
-o outfile
If specified, the generated graph is written into the
file outfile. Otherwise, the graph is written to stan-
dard out.
-d Make the generated graph directed.
-? Print usage information.
EXIT STATUS
gvgen exits with 0 on successful completion, and exits with
1 if given an ill-formed or incorrect flag, or if the speci-
fied output file could not be opened.
