• Generates random graphs
• Generates graphs from Prüfer codes

API

prufer.randomCode(length)

• length <Integer>

The prufer.randomCode() function returns a random Prüfer code of the given length.

For example:

prufer.randomCode(5)
  // returns [4, 1, 2, 4, 4]
  // (or any other random Prufer code with length equal to five)

prufer.randomTree(nodeCount)

• nodeCount <Integer> (greater than 2)

The prufer.randomTree() function returns a random tree (undirected graph) of the given nodeCount, where nodeCount is greater than 2.

A tree is represented by a list of edges.

For example:

prufer.randomTree(5)
  // returns [[2, 3], [1, 2], [0, 1], [0, 4]]
  // or any other randon tree with 5 nodes

prufer.tree(prufferCode)

• pruferCode <Array> of <Integer>

The prufer.tree() function returns the tree corresponding to the given Prüfer code.

For example:

prufer.tree([3, 3, 3, 4])
  // returns [[3, 0], [3,1], [3, 2], [4, 3], [4, 5]]

CLI Usage

Usage: prufer <command>

where <command> is one of:
    random-code, random-tree, tree

prufer --help [-h]                Shows this screen

prufer random-code <length>       Generates a random Prüfer code
                                  with the given length

prufer random-tree <node count>   Generates a random tree (graph)
                                  with the given node count

prufer tree <Prüfer code>         Generates the tree (graph) corresponding
                                  to the given Prüfer code. A Prüfer code
                                  must be written as a JSON Array of integers:
                                  "[3,3,3,4]"
