🌸 LGF-GEN(1) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to lgf-gen — it's a User Command, it lives in section 1 of the manual, and this page is literally the manual page for lgf-gen 1.3.1. she's a graph generator and she's iconic for it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

lgf-gen — manual page for lgf-gen 1.3.1

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

💖 Usage: 💖

so this is the whole vibe, fr fr — here's how you call her:

/builddir/build/BUILD/coin-or-lemon-1.3.1-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/lgf-gen

[-2con|-tree|-tsp|-tsp2|-dela] [-disc|-square|-gauss]
[-rand|-seed int] [--help|-h|-help] [-area num] [-cities int]
[-dir] [-eps] [-g int] [-n int] [-nonodes] [prefix]

like, look at that path. she's not hiding. that's the binary, periodt. 🌈

🎀 Where: 🎀

  • [prefix] — the prefix of the output files, bestie. the default is lgf-gen-out (so if you don't say anything, that's the name you're getting, no cap).

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay here's the full menu, no skips, every single one, we don't gatekeep in this house 🫶

  • --help, -h, -help — prints a short help message. it's giving "hi, here's the tea, briefly" ✨
  • -2con — creates a two connected planar graph. two-connected! planar! slay.
  • -area num — the full relative area of the cities. default is 1.
  • -cities int — number of cities. default is 1. yes, one city. a lil baby city. 🏙️
  • -dela — Delaunay triangulation graph. triangulation nation, we love to see it.
  • -dir — a directed graph is generated, meaning each edge gets replaced by two directed arcs. both directions, main character energy.
  • -disc — nodes are evenly distributed on a unit disc. this is the default, so if you don't pick anything, you're on the disc, girlie 💿
  • -eps — also generates .eps output, specifically <prefix>.eps. cute lil bonus file.
  • -g int — the girth parameter. default is 10.
  • -gauss — nodes are located according to a two-dim Gauss distribution. bell curve baddie behavior 📈
  • -n int — number of nodes. default is 100. a whole hundred of them.
  • -nonodes — draws only the edges in the generated .eps output. no nodes, just edges, minimalism era.
  • -rand — use a time seed for the random number generator. chaos, but make it chronological.
  • -seed int — random seed. for when you want your chaos reproducible, iykyk.
  • -square — nodes are evenly distributed on a unit square. a square. not a disc. don't get it twisted ⬜
  • -tree — creates a min. cost spanning tree. minimum cost, maximum vibes.
  • -tsp — creates a TSP tour. traveling salesperson said let's goooo 🚗
  • -tsp2 — creates a TSP tour, but tree based. the sequel. the remix. the tree-based one. 🌳
not me listing every single flag and every single default because we do NOT gatekeep the documentation 💖 fr fr, all defaults are in there, all the ints and nums and prefixes are exactly as written.

so yeah, that's the whole page. lgf-gen, version 1.3.1, and this beauty was published July 2025. go generate some graphs, bestie, you're gonna eat 💅✨🍓
