NAME

Graph::Subgraph - A subgraph() method for Graph module.

SYNOPSIS

[DEPRECATED] "subgraph" in Graph was added in Graph 0.97, so this module is now useless and does nothing, unless outdated Graph is detected.

    use Graph;
    use Graph::Subgraph;

    my $foo = Graph->new();
    $foo->add_edges(qw(x y y z));
    my $bar = $foo->subgraph(['x', 'y']);
    # $bar is now 'x-y'

METHODS

The only method resides in the Graph package (not Graph::Subgraph) so that any descendant of Graph can call it.

subgraph( \@src, [ \@dst ] );

subgraph( @src );

Returns a subgraph of the original graph induced by two sets of vertices.

A vertex is copied if and only if it belongs to one of the sets. An edge is copied if and only if it starts in the first set and ends in the second set.

If only one set is given, it is used as both. (So that is "subgraph induced by a set of vertices").

The sets may be given as one or two array references, or list.

The properties of the original graph (directedness etc.) are preserved, however the properties of vertices and edges are not.

Complexity: This method has a computational complexity of O(N(src)*N(dst)).

In theory, O(N(egdes_in_initial_graph)) is also possible, and the algorithm should choose whichever is better. This is not done yet.

Feel free to file a bug report if there's anything faster.
