	$bonn->set_attribute('border', 'solid 1px black');

	my $berlin = $graph->add_node('Berlin');

	$graph->add_edge ($bonn, $berlin);

	print $graph->as_ascii( );

	# You can use plain scalars as node names and for the edge label:
	$graph->add_edge ('Berlin', 'Frankfurt', 'via train');

	# adding edges with attributes:

	my $edge = Graph::Easy::Edge->new();
	$edge->set_attributes( {
		label => 'train',
		style => 'dotted',
		color => 'red',
	} );

	# now with the optional edge object

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Graph::Easy> lets you generate graphs consisting of various shaped
nodes connected by edges (with optional labels).

It can read and write graphs in a variety of formats, as well as render
them via its own grid-based layouter.

Since the layouter works on a grid (manhattan layout), the output is
most useful for flow charts, network diagrams, or hierarchy trees.

X<graph>
X<drawing>
X<diagram>
X<flowchart>
X<layout>
X<manhattan>

=head2 Input

Apart from driving the module with Perl code, you can also use
C<Graph::Easy::Parser> to parse graph descriptions like:

	[ Bonn ]      --> [ Berlin ]
	[ Frankfurt ] <=> [ Dresden ]
	[ Bonn ]      --  [ Frankfurt ]

See the C<EXAMPLES> section below for how this might be rendered.

=head2 Creating graphs

First, create a graph object:

	my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();

Then add a node to it:

	my $node = $graph->add_node('Koblenz');

Don't worry, adding the node again will do nothing:

	$node = $graph->add_node('Koblenz');

You can get back a node by its name with C<node()>:

	$node = $graph->node('Koblenz');

You can either add another node:

	my $second = $graph->node('Frankfurt');

Or add an edge straight-away:

	my ($first,$second,$edge) = $graph->add_edge('Mainz','Ulm');

Adding the edge the second time creates another edge from 'Mainz' to 'Ulm':

	my $other_edge;
	 ($first,$second,$other_edge) = $graph->add_edge('Mainz','Ulm');

This can be avoided by using C<add_edge_once()>:

	my $edge = $graph->add_edge_once('Mainz','Ulm');
	if (defined $edge)
	  {
	  # the first time the edge was added, do something with it
	  $edge->set_attribute('color','blue');
	  }

You can set attributes on nodes and edges:

	$node->attribute('fill', 'yellow');
	$edge->attribute('label', 'train');

It is possible to add an edge with a label:

	$graph->add_edge('Cottbus', 'Berlin', 'my label');

You can also add self-loops:

	$graph->add_edge('Bremen','Bremen');

Adding multiple nodes is easy:

	my ($bonn,$rom) = Graph::Easy->add_nodes('Bonn','Rom');

You can also have subgraphs (these are called groups):

	my ($group) = Graph::Easy->add_group('Cities');

Only nodes can be part of a group, edges are automatically considered
to be in the group if they lead from one node inside the group to
another node in the same group. There are multiple ways to add one or
more nodes into a group:

	$group->add_member($bonn);
	$group->add_node($rom);
	$group->add_nodes($rom,$bonn);

For more options please see the online manual:
L<http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/> .

=head2 Output

=head1 EXAMPLES

The following examples are given in the simple text format that is understood
by L<Graph::Easy::Parser|Graph::Easy::Parser>.

You can also see many more examples at:

L<http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/>

=head2 One node

The most simple graph (apart from the empty one :) is a graph consisting of
only one node:

	[ Dresden ]

=head2 Two nodes

A simple graph consisting of two nodes, linked together by a directed edge:

	[ Bonn ] -> [ Berlin ]

=head2 Three nodes

A graph consisting of three nodes, and both are linked from the first:

	[ Bonn ] -> [ Berlin ]
	[ Bonn ] -> [ Hamburg ]

=head2 Three nodes in a chain

A graph consisting of three nodes, showing that you can chain connections together:

	[ Bonn ] -> [ Berlin ] -> [ Hamburg ]

=head2 Two not connected graphs

A graph consisting of two separate parts, both of them not connected
to each other:

	[ Bonn ] -> [ Berlin ]
	[ Freiburg ] -> [ Hamburg ]

=head2 Three nodes, interlinked

A graph consisting of three nodes, and two of the are connected from
the first node:

	[ Bonn ] -> [ Berlin ]
	[ Berlin ] -> [ Hamburg ]
	[ Bonn ] -> [ Hamburg ]

=head2 Different edge styles

A graph consisting of a couple of nodes, linked with the
different possible edge styles.

	[ Bonn ] <-> [ Berlin ]		# bidirectional
	[ Berlin ] ==> [ Rostock ]	# double
	[ Hamburg ] ..> [ Altona ]	# dotted
	[ Dresden ] - > [ Bautzen ]	# dashed
	[ Leipzig ] ~~> [ Kirchhain ]	# wave
	[ Hof ] .-> [ Chemnitz ]	# dot-dash
	[ Magdeburg ] <=> [ Ulm ]	# bidrectional, double etc
	[ Magdeburg ] -- [ Ulm ]	# arrow-less edge

More examples at: L<http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/>

=head1 ANIMATION SUPPORT

B<Note: Animations are not yet implemented!>

It is possible to add animations to a graph. This is done by
adding I<steps> via the pseudo-class C<step>:

	step.0 {
	  target: Bonn;		# find object with id=Bonn, or
				# if this fails, the node named
				# "Bonn".
	  animate: fill:	# animate this attribute
	  from: yellow;		# start value (0% of duration)
	  via: red;		# at 50% of the duration
	  to: yellow;		# and 100% of duration
	  wait: 0;		# after triggering, wait so many seconds
	  duration: 5;		# entire time to go from "from" to "to"
	  trigger: onload;	# when to trigger this animation
	  repeat: 2;		# how often to repeat ("2" means two times)
				# also "infinite", then "next" will be ignored
	  next: 1;		# which step to take after repeat is up
	}
	step.1 {
	  from: white;		# set to white
	  to: white;
	  duration: 0.1;	# 100ms
	  next: 0;		# go back to step.0
	}

Here two steps are created, I<0> and I<1> and the animation will
be going like this:

                               0.1s
	                     +-------------------------------+
	                     v                               |
	+--------+  0s   +--------+  5s   +--------+  5s   +--------+
	| onload | ----> | step.0 | ----> | step.0 | ----> | step.1 |
	+--------+       +--------+       +--------+       +--------+

You can generate a a graph with the animation flow via
C<animation_as_graph()>.

=head2 Output

Currently no output formats supports animations yet.

=head1 METHODS

C<Graph::Easy> supports the following methods:

=head2 new()

        use Graph::Easy;

        my $graph = Graph::Easy->new( );

Creates a new, empty C<Graph::Easy> object.

Takes optional a hash reference with a list of options. The following are
valid options:

	debug			if true, enables debug output
	timeout			timeout (in seconds) for the layouter
	fatal_errors		wrong attributes are fatal errors, default: true
	strict			test attribute names for being valid, default: true
	undirected		create an undirected graph, default: false

=head2 copy()

    my $copy = $graph->copy( );

Create a copy of this graph and return it as a new Graph::Easy object.

=head2 error()

	my $error = $graph->error();

Returns the last error or '' for none.
Optionally, takes an error message to be set.

	$graph->error( 'Expected Foo, but found Bar.' );

See L<warn()> on how to catch error messages. See also L<non_fatal_errors()>
on how to turn errors into warnings.

=head2 warn()

	my $warning = $graph->warn();

Returns the last warning or '' for none.
Optionally, takes a warning message to be output to STDERR:

	$graph->warn( 'Expected Foo, but found Bar.' );

If you want to catch warnings from the layouter, enable catching
of warnings or errors:

	$graph->catch_messages(1);

	# Or individually:
	# $graph->catch_warnings(1);
	# $graph->catch_errors(1);

	# something which warns or throws an error:
	...

	if ($graph->error())
	  {
	  my @errors = $graph->errors();
	  }
	if ($graph->warning())
	  {
	  my @warnings = $graph->warnings();
	  }

See L<Graph::Easy::Base> for more details on error/warning message capture.

=head2 add_edge()

	my ($first, $second, $edge) = $graph->add_edge( 'node 1', 'node 2');

=head2 add_edge()

	my ($first, $second, $edge) = $graph->add_edge( 'node 1', 'node 2');
	my $edge = $graph->add_edge( $x, $y, $edge);
	$graph->add_edge( $x, $y);

Add an edge between nodes X and Y. The optional edge object defines
the style of the edge, if not present, a default object will be used.

When called in scalar context, will return C<$edge>. In array/list context
it will return the two nodes and the edge object.

C<$x> and C<$y> should be either plain scalars with the names of
the nodes, or objects of L<Graph::Easy::Node|Graph::Easy::Node>,
while the optional C<$edge> should be L<Graph::Easy::Edge|Graph::Easy::Edge>.

Note: C<Graph::Easy> graphs are multi-edged, and adding the same edge
twice will result in two edges going from C<$x> to C<$y>! See
C<add_edge_once()> on how to avoid that.

You can also use C<edge()> to check whether an edge from X to Y already exists
in the graph.

=head2 add_edge_once()

	my ($first, $second, $edge) = $graph->add_edge_once( 'node 1', 'node 2');
	my $edge = $graph->add_edge_once( $x, $y, $edge);
	$graph->add_edge_once( $x, $y);

	if (defined $edge)
	  {
	  # got added once, so do something with it
	  $edge->set_attribute('label','unique');
	  }

Adds an edge between nodes X and Y, unless there exists already
an edge between these two nodes. See C<add_edge()>.

Returns undef when an edge between X and Y already exists.

When called in scalar context, will return C<$edge>. In array/list context
it will return the two nodes and the edge object.

=head2 flip_edges()

	my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
	$graph->add_edge('Bonn','Berlin');
	$graph->add_edge('Berlin','Bonn');

	print $graph->as_ascii();

	#   +--------------+
	#   v              |
	# +--------+     +------+
	# | Berlin | --> | Bonn |
	# +--------+     +------+

	$graph->flip_edges('Bonn', 'Berlin');

	print $graph->as_ascii();

	#   +--------------+
	#   |              v
	# +--------+     +------+
	# | Berlin | --> | Bonn |
	# +--------+     +------+

Turn around (transpose) all edges that are going from the first node to the
second node.

X<transpose>

=head2 add_node()

	my $node = $graph->add_node( 'Node 1' );
	# or if you already have a Graph::Easy::Node object:
	$graph->add_node( $x );

Add a single node X to the graph. C<$x> should be either a
C<Graph::Easy::Node> object, or a unique name for the node. Will do
nothing if the node already exists in the graph.

It returns an L<Graph::Easy::Node> object.

=head2 add_anon_node()

	my $anon_node = $graph->add_anon_node( );

Creates a single, anonymous node and adds it to the graph, returning the
C<Graph::Easy::Node::Anon> object.

The created node is equal to one created via C< [ ] > in the Graph::Easy
text description.

=head2 add_nodes()

	my @nodes = $graph->add_nodes( 'Node 1', 'Node 2' );

Add all the given nodes to the graph. The arguments should be either a
C<Graph::Easy::Node> object, or a unique name for the node. Will do
nothing if the node already exists in the graph.

It returns a list of L<Graph::Easy::Node> objects.

=head2 rename_node()

	$node = $graph->rename_node($node, $new_name);

Changes the name of a node. If the passed node is not part of
this graph or just a string, it will be added with the new
name to this graph.

If the node was part of another graph, it will be deleted there and added
to this graph with the new name, effectively moving the node from the old
to the new graph and renaming it at the same time.

=head2 del_node()

	$graph->del_node('Node name');
	$graph->del_node($node);

Delete the node with the given name from the graph.

=head2 del_edge()

	$graph->del_edge($edge);

Delete the given edge object from the graph. You can use C<edge()> to find
an edge from Node A to B:

	$graph->del_edge( $graph->edge('A','B') );

=head2 merge_nodes()

	$graph->merge_nodes( $first_node, $second_node );
	$graph->merge_nodes( $first_node, $second_node, $joiner );

Merge two nodes. Will delete all connections between the two nodes, then
move over any connection to/from the second node to the first, then delete
the second node from the graph.

Any attributes on the second node will be lost.

If present, the optional C<< $joiner >> argument will be used to join
the label of the second node to the label of the first node. If not
present, the label of the second node will be dropped along with all
the other attributes:

	my $graph = Graph::Easy->new('[A]->[B]->[C]->[D]');

	# this produces "[A]->[C]->[D]"
	$graph->merge_nodes( 'A', 'B' );

	# this produces "[A C]->[D]"
	$graph->merge_nodes( 'A', 'C', ' ' );

	# this produces "[A C \n D]", note single quotes on the third argument!
	$graph->merge_nodes( 'A', 'C', ' \n ' );

=head2 get_attribute()

	my $value = $graph->get_attribute( $class, $name );

Return the value of attribute C<$name> from class C<$class>.

Example:

	my $color = $graph->attribute( 'node', 'color' );

You can also call all the various attribute related methods on members of the
graph directly, for instance:

	$node->get_attribute('label');
	$edge->get_attribute('color');
	$group->get_attribute('fill');

=head2 attribute()

	my $value = $graph->attribute( $class, $name );

Is an alias for L<get_attribute>.

=head2 color_attribute()

	# returns f.i. #ff0000
	my $color = $graph->get_color_attribute( 'node', 'color' );

Just like L<get_attribute()>, but only for colors, and returns them as hex,
using the current colorscheme.

=head2 get_color_attribute()

Is an alias for L<color_attribute()>.

=head2 get_attributes()

	my $att = $object->get_attributes();

Return all effective attributes on this object (graph/node/group/edge) as
an anonymous hash ref. This respects inheritance and default values.

Note that this does not include custom attributes.

See also L<get_custom_attributes> and L<raw_attributes()>.

=head2 get_custom_attributes()

	my $att = $object->get_custom_attributes();

Return all the custom attributes on this object (graph/node/group/edge) as
an anonymous hash ref.

=head2 custom_attributes()

	my $att = $object->custom_attributes();

C<< custom_attributes() >> is an alias for L<< get_custom_attributes >>.

=head2 raw_attributes()

	my $att = $object->raw_attributes();

Return all set attributes on this object (graph, node, group or edge) as
an anonymous hash ref. Thus you get all the locally active attributes
for this object.

Inheritance is respected, e.g. attributes that have the value "inherit"
and are inheritable, will be inherited from the base class.

But default values for unset attributes are skipped. Here is an example:

	node { color: red; }

	[ A ] { class: foo; color: inherit; }

This will return:

	{ class => foo, color => red }

As you can see, attributes like C<background> etc. are not included, while
the color value was inherited properly.

See also L<get_attributes()>.

=head2 default_attribute()

	my $def = $graph->default_attribute($class, 'fill');

Returns the default value for the given attribute B<in the class>
of the object.

The default attribute is the value that will be used if
the attribute on the object itself, as well as the attribute
on the class is unset.

To find out what attribute is on the class, use the three-arg form
of L<attribute> on the graph:

	my $g = Graph::Easy->new();
	my $node = $g->add_node('Berlin');

	print $node->attribute('fill'), "\n";		# print "white"
	print $node->default_attribute('fill'), "\n";	# print "white"
	print $g->attribute('node','fill'), "\n";	# print "white"

	$g->set_attribute('node','fill','red');		# class is "red"
	$node->set_attribute('fill','green');		# this object is "green"

	print $node->attribute('fill'), "\n";		# print "green"
	print $node->default_attribute('fill'), "\n";	# print "white"
	print $g->attribute('node','fill'), "\n";	# print "red"

See also L<raw_attribute()>.

=head2 raw_attribute()

	my $value = $object->raw_attribute( $name );

Return the value of attribute C<$name> from the object it this
method is called on (graph, node, edge, group etc.). If the
attribute is not set on the object itself, returns undef.

This method respects inheritance, so an attribute value of 'inherit'
on an object will make the method return the inherited value:

	my $g = Graph::Easy->new();
	my $n = $g->add_node('A');

	$g->set_attribute('color','red');

	print $n->raw_attribute('color');		# undef
	$n->set_attribute('color','inherit');
	print $n->raw_attribute('color');		# 'red'

See also L<attribute()>.

=head2 raw_color_attribute()

	# returns f.i. #ff0000
	my $color = $graph->raw_color_attribute('color' );

Just like L<raw_attribute()>, but only for colors, and returns them as hex,
using the current colorscheme.

If the attribute is not set on the object, returns C<undef>.

=head2 raw_attributes()

	my $att = $object->raw_attributes();

Returns a hash with all the raw attributes of that object.
Attributes that are no set on the object itself, but on
the class this object belongs to are B<not> included.

This method respects inheritance, so an attribute value of 'inherit'
on an object will make the method return the inherited value.

=head2 set_attribute()

	# Set the attribute on the given class.
	$graph->set_attribute( $class, $name, $val );

	# Set the attribute on the graph itself. This is synonymous
	# to using 'graph' as class in the form above.
	$graph->set_attribute( $name, $val );

Sets a given attribute named C<$name> to the new value C<$val> in the class
specified in C<$class>.

Example:

	$graph->set_attribute( 'graph', 'gid', '123' );

The class can be one of C<graph>, C<edge>, C<node> or C<group>. The last
three can also have subclasses like in C<node.subclassname>.

You can also call the various attribute related methods on members of the
graph directly, for instance:

	$node->set_attribute('label', 'my node');
	$edge->set_attribute('color', 'red');
	$group->set_attribute('fill', 'green');

=head2 set_attributes()

	$graph->set_attributes( $class, $att );

Given a class name in C<$class> and a hash of mappings between attribute names
and values in C<$att>, will set all these attributes.

The class can be one of C<graph>, C<edge>, C<node> or C<group>. The last
three can also have subclasses like in C<node.subclassname>.

Example:

	$graph->set_attributes( 'node', { color => 'red', background => 'none' } );

=head2 del_attribute()

	$graph->del_attribute('border');

Delete the attribute with the given name from the object.

You can also call the various attribute related methods on members of the
graph directly, for instance:

	$node->del_attribute('label');
	$edge->del_attribute('color');
	$group->del_attribute('fill');

=head2 unquote_attribute()

	# returns '"Hello World!"'
	my $value = $self->unquote_attribute('node','label','"Hello World!"');
	# returns 'red'
	my $color = $self->unquote_attribute('node','color','"red"');

Return the attribute unquoted except for labels and titles, that is it removes
double quotes at the start and the end of the string, unless these are
escaped with a backslash.

=head2 border_attribute()

  	my $border = $graph->border_attribute();

Return the combined border attribute like "1px solid red" from the
border(style|color|width) attributes.

=head2 split_border_attributes()

  	my ($style,$width,$color) = $graph->split_border_attribute($border);

Split the border attribute (like "1px solid red") into the three different parts.

=head2 quoted_comment()

	my $cmt = $node->comment();

Comment of this object, quoted suitable as to be embedded into HTML/SVG.
Returns the empty string if this object doesn't have a comment set.

=head2 flow()

	my $flow = $graph->flow();

Returns the flow of the graph, as absolute number in degress.

=head2 source_nodes()

	my @roots = $graph->source_nodes();

Returns all nodes that have only outgoing edges, e.g. are the root of a tree,
in no particular order.

Isolated nodes (no edges at all) will B<not> be included, see
L<predecessorless_nodes()> to get these, too.

In scalar context, returns the number of source nodes.

=head2 predecessorless_nodes()

	my @roots = $graph->predecessorless_nodes();

Returns all nodes that have no incoming edges, regardless of whether
they have outgoing edges or not, in no particular order.

Isolated nodes (no edges at all) B<will> be included in the list.

See also L<source_nodes()>.

In scalar context, returns the number of predecessorless nodes.

=head2 root_node()

	my $root = $graph->root_node();

Return the root node as L<Graph::Easy::Node> object, if it was
set with the 'root' attribute.

=head2 timeout()

	print $graph->timeout(), " seconds timeout for layouts.\n";
	$graph->timeout(12);

Get/set the timeout for layouts in seconds. If the layout process did not
finish after that time, it will be stopped and a warning will be printed.

The default timeout is 5 seconds.

=head2 strict()

	print "Graph has strict checking\n" if $graph->strict();
	$graph->strict(undef);		# disable strict attribute checks

Get/set the strict option. When set to a true value, all attribute names and
values will be strictly checked and unknown/invalid one will be rejected.

This option is on by default.

=head2 type()

	print "Graph is " . $graph->type() . "\n";

Returns the type of the graph as string, either "directed" or "undirected".

=head2 layout()

	$graph->layout();
	$graph->layout( type => 'force', timeout => 60 );

Creates the internal structures to layout the graph.

This method will be called automatically when you call any of the
C<as_FOO> methods or C<output()> as described below.

The options are:

	type		the type of the layout, possible values:
			'force'		- force based layouter
			'adhoc'		- the default layouter
	timeout		timeout in seconds

See also: L<timeout()>.

=head2 output_format()

	$graph->output_format('html');

Set the outputformat. One of 'html', 'ascii', 'graphviz', 'svg' or 'txt'.
See also L<output()>.

footer. Can be viewed in the browser of your choice.

=head2 add_group()

	my $group = $graph->add_group('Group name');

Add a group to the graph and return it as L<Graph::Easy::Group> object.

=head2 group()

	my $group = $graph->group('Name');

Returns the group with the name C<Name> as L<Graph::Easy::Group> object.

=head2 rename_group()

	$group = $graph->rename_group($group, $new_name);

Changes the name of the given group. If the passed group is not part of
this graph or just a string, it will be added with the new
name to this graph.

If the group was part of another graph, it will be deleted there and added
to this graph with the new name, effectively moving the group from the old
to the new graph and renaming it at the same time.

=head2 groups()

	my @groups = $graph->groups();

Returns the groups of the graph as L<Graph::Easy::Group> objects,
in arbitrary order.

=head2 groups_within()

	# equivalent to $graph->groups():
	my @groups = $graph->groups_within();		# all
	my @toplevel_groups = $graph->groups_within(0);	# level 0 only

Return the groups that are inside this graph, up to the specified level,
in arbitrary order.

The default level is -1, indicating no bounds and thus all contained
groups are returned.

A level of 0 means only the direct children, and hence only the toplevel
groups will be returned. A level 1 means the toplevel groups and their
toplevel children, and so on.

=head2 anon_groups()

	my $anon_groups = $graph->anon_groups();

In scalar context, returns the number of anon groups (aka
L<Graph::Easy::Group::Anon>) the graph has.

In list context, returns all anon groups as objects, in arbitrary order.

=head2 del_group()

	$graph->del_group($name);

Delete the group with the given name.

=head2 edges(), edges_within()

	my @edges = $graph->edges();

Returns the edges of the graph as L<Graph::Easy::Edge> objects,
in arbitrary order.

L<edges_within()> is an alias for C<edges()>.

=head2 is_simple_graph(), is_simple()

	if ($graph->is_simple())
	  {
	  }

Returns true if the graph does not have multiedges, e.g. if it
does not have more than one edge going from any node to any other
node or group.

Since this method has to look at all edges, it is costly in terms of
both CPU and memory.

=head2 is_directed()

	if ($graph->is_directed())
	  {
	  }

Returns true if the graph is directed.

=head2 is_undirected()

	if ($graph->is_undirected())
	  {
	  }

Returns true if the graph is undirected.

	my $parent = $graph->parent();

Returns the parent graph, for graphs this is undef.

=head2 label()

	my $label = $graph->label();

Returns the label of the graph.

=head2 title()

	my $title = $graph->title();

Returns the (mouseover) title of the graph.

=head2 link()

	my $link = $graph->link();

Return a potential link (for the graphs label), build from the attributes C<linkbase>
and C<link> (or autolink). Returns '' if there is no link.

=head2 as_graphviz()

	print $graph->as_graphviz();

Return the graph as graphviz code, suitable to be feed to a program like
C<dot> etc.

=head2 as_graphviz_file()

	print $graph->as_graphviz_file();

Is an alias for L<as_graphviz()>.

=head2 angle()

        my $degrees = Graph::Easy->angle( 'south' );
        my $degrees = Graph::Easy->angle( 120 );

Check an angle for being valid and return a value between -359 and 359
degrees. The special values C<south>, C<north>, C<west>, C<east>, C<up>
and C<down> are also valid and converted to degrees.

=head2 nodes()

	my $nodes = $graph->nodes();

In scalar context, returns the number of nodes/vertices the graph has.

In list context, returns all nodes as objects, in arbitrary order.

=head2 anon_nodes()

	my $anon_nodes = $graph->anon_nodes();

In scalar context, returns the number of anon nodes (aka
L<Graph::Easy::Node::Anon>) the graph has.

In list context, returns all anon nodes as objects, in arbitrary order.

=head2 html_page_header()

	my $header = $graph->html_page_header();
	my $header = $graph->html_page_header($css);

Return the header of an HTML page. Used together with L<html_page_footer>
by L<as_html_page> to construct a complete HTML page.

=head2 as_txt()

	print $graph->as_txt();

Return the graph as a normalized textual representation, that can be
parsed with L<Graph::Easy::Parser> back to the same graph.

This does not call L<layout()> since the actual text representation
is just a dump of the graph.

=head2 as_txt_file()

	print $graph->as_txt_file();

Is an alias for L<as_txt()>.

=head2 as_svg()

	print $graph->as_svg();

Return the graph as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), which can be
embedded into HTML pages. You need to install
L<Graph::Easy::As_svg> first to make this work.

See also L<as_svg_file()>.

B<Note:> You need L<Graph::Easy::As_svg> installed for this to work!

=head2 as_svg_file()

	print $graph->as_svg_file();

Returns SVG just like C<as_svg()>, but this time as standalone SVG,
suitable for storing it in a file and referencing it externally.

After calling C<as_svg_file()> or C<as_svg()>, you can retrieve
some SVG information, notable C<width> and C<height> via
C<svg_information>.

B<Note:> You need L<Graph::Easy::As_svg> installed for this to work!

=head2 svg_information()

	my $info = $graph->svg_information();

	print "Size: $info->{width}, $info->{height}\n";

Return information about the graph created by the last
C<as_svg()> or C<as_svg_file()> call.

The following fields are set:

	width		width of the SVG in pixels
	height		height of the SVG in pixels

B<Note:> You need L<Graph::Easy::As_svg> installed for this to work!

=head2 as_vcg()

	print $graph->as_vcg();

Return the graph as VCG text. VCG is a subset of GDL (Graph Description
Language).

This does not call L<layout()> since the actual text representation
is just a dump of the graph.

=head2 as_vcg_file()

	print $graph->as_vcg_file();

Is an alias for L<as_vcg()>.

=head2 as_gdl()

	print $graph->as_gdl();

Return the graph as GDL (Graph Description Language) text. GDL is a superset
of VCG.

This does not call L<layout()> since the actual text representation
is just a dump of the graph.

=head2 as_gdl_file()

	print $graph->as_gdl_file();

Is an alias for L<as_gdl()>.

=head2 as_graphml()

	print $graph->as_graphml();

Return the graph as a GraphML representation.

This does not call L<layout()> since the actual text representation
is just a dump of the graph.

The output contains only the set attributes, e.g. default attribute values
are not specifically mentioned. The attribute names and values are the
in the format that C<Graph::Easy> defines.

=head2 as_graphml_file()

	print $graph->as_graphml_file();

Is an alias for L<as_graphml()>.

=head2 sorted_nodes()

	my $nodes =
	 $graph->sorted_nodes( );		# default sort on 'id'
	my $nodes =
	 $graph->sorted_nodes( 'name' );	# sort on 'name'
	my $nodes =
	 $graph->sorted_nodes( 'layer', 'id' );	# sort on 'layer', then on 'id'

In scalar context, returns the number of nodes/vertices the graph has.
In list context returns a list of all the node objects (as reference),
sorted by their attribute(s) given as arguments. The default is 'id',
e.g. their internal ID number, which amounts more or less to the order
they have been inserted.

This routine will sort the nodes by their group first, so the requested
sort order will be only valid if there are no groups or inside each
group.

=head2 as_debug()

	print $graph->as_debug();

Return debugging information like version numbers of used modules,
and a textual representation of the graph.

This does not call L<layout()> since the actual text representation
is more a dump of the graph, than a certain layout.

=head2 node()

	my $node = $graph->node('node name');

Return node by unique name (case sensitive). Returns undef if the node
does not exist in the graph.

=head2 edge()

	my $edge = $graph->edge( $x, $y );

Returns the edge objects between nodes C<$x> and C<$y>. Both C<$x> and C<$y>
can be either scalars with names or C<Graph::Easy::Node> objects.

Returns undef if the edge does not yet exist.

In list context it will return all edges from C<$x> to C<$y>, in
scalar context it will return only one (arbitrary) edge.

=head2 id()

	my $graph_id = $graph->id();
	$graph->id('123');

Returns the id of the graph. You can also set a new ID with this routine. The
default is ''.

The graph's ID is used to generate unique CSS classes for each graph, in the
case you want to have more than one graph in an HTML page.

=head2 seed()

	my $seed = $graph->seed();
	$graph->seed(2);

Get/set the random seed for the graph object. See L<randomize()>
for a method to set a random seed.

The seed is used to create random numbers for the layouter. For
the same graph, the same seed will always lead to the same layout.

=head2 randomize()

	$graph->randomize();

Set a random seed for the graph object. See L<seed()>.

=head2 debug()

	my $debug = $graph->debug();	# get
	$graph->debug(1);		# enable
	$graph->debug(0);		# disable

Enable, disable or read out the debug status. When the debug status is true,
additional debug messages will be printed on STDERR.

=head2 score()

	my $score = $graph->score();

Returns the score of the graph, or undef if L<layout()> has not yet been called.

Higher scores are better, although you cannot compare scores for different
graphs. The score should only be used to compare different layouts of the same
graph against each other:

	my $max = undef;

	$graph->randomize();
	my $seed = $graph->seed();

	$graph->layout();
	$max = $graph->score();

	for (1..10)
	  {
	  $graph->randomize();			# select random seed
	  $graph->layout();			# layout with that seed
	  if ($graph->score() > $max)
	    {
	    $max = $graph->score();		# store the new max store
	    $seed = $graph->seed();		# and it's seed
	    }
	  }

	# redo the best layout
	if ($seed ne $graph->seed())
	  {
	  $graph->seed($seed);
	  $graph->layout();
	  }
	# output graph:
	print $graph->as_ascii();		# or as_html() etc

=head2 valid_attribute()

	my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
	my $new_value =
	  $graph->valid_attribute( $name, $value, $class );

	if (ref($new_value) eq 'ARRAY' && @$new_value == 0)
	  {
	  # throw error
          die ("'$name' is not a valid attribute name for '$class'")
		if $self->{_warn_on_unused_attributes};
	  }
	elsif (!defined $new_value)
	  {
	  # throw error
          die ("'$value' is no valid '$name' for '$class'");
	  }

Deprecated, please use L<validate_attribute()>.

Check that a C<$name,$value> pair is a valid attribute in class C<$class>,
and returns a new value.

It returns an array ref if the attribute name is invalid, and undef if the
value is invalid.

The return value can differ from the passed in value, f.i.:

	print $graph->valid_attribute( 'color', 'red' );

This would print '#ff0000';

=head2 validate_attribute()

	my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
	my ($rc,$new_name, $new_value) =
	  $graph->validate_attribute( $name, $value, $class );

Checks a given attribute name and value (or values, in case of a
value like "red|green") for being valid. It returns a new
attribute name (in case of "font-color" => "fontcolor") and
either a single new attribute, or a list of attribute values
as array ref.

If C<$rc> is defined, it is the error number:

	1			unknown attribute name
	2			invalid attribute value
	4			found multiple attributes, but these arent
				allowed at this place

=head2 color_as_hex()

	my $hexred   = Graph::Easy->color_as_hex( 'red' );
	my $hexblue  = Graph::Easy->color_as_hex( '#0000ff' );
	my $hexcyan  = Graph::Easy->color_as_hex( '#f0f' );
	my $hexgreen = Graph::Easy->color_as_hex( 'rgb(0,255,0)' );

Takes a valid color name or definition (hex, short hex, or RGB) and returns the
color in hex like C<#ff00ff>.

=head2 color_value($color_name, $color_scheme)

	my $color = Graph::Easy->color_name( 'red' );	# #ff0000
	print Graph::Easy->color_name( '#ff0000' );	# #ff0000

	print Graph::Easy->color_name( 'snow', 'x11' );

Given a color name, returns the color in hex. See L<color_name>
for a list of possible values for the optional C<$color_scheme>
parameter.

=head2 color_name($color_value, $color_scheme)

	my $color = Graph::Easy->color_name( 'red' );	# red
	print Graph::Easy->color_name( '#ff0000' );	# red

	print Graph::Easy->color_name( 'snow', 'x11' );

Takes a hex color value and returns the name of the color.

The optional parameter is the color scheme, where the following
values are possible:

 w3c			(the default)
 x11			(what graphviz uses as default)

Plus the following ColorBrewer schemes are supported, see the
online manual for examples and their usage:

	group

Please see the documentation about C<use_class()> in C<Graph::Easy::Parser>
for examples and details.

=head2 animation_as_graph()

	my $graph_2 = $graph->animation_as_graph();
	print $graph_2->as_ascii();

=head1 LIMITATIONS

This module is now quite complete, but there are still some limitations.
Hopefully further development will lift these.

=head2 Scoring

Scoring is not yet implemented, each generated graph will be the same regardless
of the random seed.

=head2 Layouter

The layouter can not yet handle links between groups (or between
a group and a node, or vice versa). These links will thus only
appear in L<as_graphviz()> or L<as_txt()> output.

=head2 Paths

=over 2

=item No optimizations

In complex graphs, non-optimal layout part like this one might appear:

	+------+     +--------+
	| Bonn | --> | Berlin | --> ...
	+------+     +--------+
	               ^
	               |
	               |
	+---------+    |
	| Kassel  | ---+
	+---------+

A second-stage optimizer that simplifies these layouts is not yet implemented.

In addition the general placement/processing strategy as well as the local
strategy might be improved.

=item attributes

The following attributes are currently ignored by the layouter:

	undirected graphs
	autosplit/autojoin for edges
	tail/head label/title/link for edges

=item groups

The layouter is not fully recursive yet, so groups do not properly nest.

In addition, links to/from groups are missing, too.

=head2 Output formats

Some output formats are not yet complete in their
implementation. Please see the online manual at

The package was formerly known as C<Graph::Simple>. The name was changed
for two reasons:

=over 2

=item *

In graph theory, a C<simple> graph is a special type of graph. This software,
however, supports more than simple graphs.

Creating graphs should be easy even when the graphs are quite complex.
