Graph:...r::HTK(3pm)

💖 Graph:...r::HTK 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally called Graph:...r::HTK (yes, the section is 3pm, that's just how Perl module pages roll 🫶). Stay with me, it's a good one.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Graph::Reader::HTK — the way it reads an HTK lattice and hands it back to you as an instance of Graph. no cap, that's the whole job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste coded exactly as it lives:

use Graph::Reader::HTK;

$reader = Graph::Reader::HTK->new;
$graph = $reader->read_graph('mylattice.lat');

that's it. you make a reader, you point it at a lattice file, you get a graph. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this module can be used to read a directed graph in the HTK lattice format — HTK being the Hidden Markov Model Toolkit, over at <http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk>, iykyk.

and what do you get back? an instance of the Graph class. that's the whole thing. it's giving "small module, big purpose". 👑

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• Graph — Jarkko Hietaniemi's Graph class and others, used for representing and manipulating directed graphs. Available from CPAN. It's also described / used in the chapter on directed graph algorithms in the Algorithms in Perl book from O'Reilly. iconic tbh 📚
• Graph::Reader — the base-class for this module, which defines the public methods, and describes the ideas behind Graph reader and writer modules. the parent, the blueprint, the blueprint parent 😌
• Graph::Writer::HTK — a class which will write a perl Graph out as an HTK lattice. so it's the reverse bestie, the going-out direction 🎀
• HTK — <http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk> — the Hidden Markov Model Toolkit. the whole reason we're here 🌈
