Build

  • Extract the file you downloaded above into a directory named ddgraphs.
  • Download nauty version 2.4 from the nauty page.
  • Extract the files of nauty into a directory.
  • Open a terminal and cd into that directory. Run ./configure.
  • Copy the following files to the ddgraphs directory: nausparse.c, nausparse.h, nautil.c, nauty.c and nauty.h.
  • In the terminal cd to the ddgraphs directory and run make.

Usage

The program ddgraphs constructs Delaney-Dress graphs or related structures of a given order n.

Usage: ./ddgraphs [options] n

The n stands for the desired number of vertices.
Without any options, this program will generate cubic pregraphs that have a 2-factor where each component is the quotient of a 4-cycle.

Valid options:
-h Print help and return.
-o c Specifies the export format where c is one of
     c    binary code
     h    human-readable output in tabular format
     n    no output : only count (default)
-m r:n Split the generation in multiple parts. The generation is split into n parts and only part r is generated. The number n needs to be an integer larger than 0 and r should be a positive integer smaller than n.
-L Generate block lists.
-t Generate cubic pregraphs with a marked 2-factor.
-c Generate Delaney-Dress graphs, i.e., graphs that are the underlying graphs of Delaney-Dress symbols and in which the edges are coloured with the colours 0, 1 or 2.
-b Only generate Delaney-Dress graphs that are bipartite.
-O Only generate Delaney-Dress graphs that (may) correspond to orientable tilings.
