mclindex(7)

🌸 mclindex 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the MCL distribution tour 💖 this is mclindex — literally just a big ol' list of the utilities and modules that live in the MCL distribution, and it's here so you never have to be like "wait what was that one command called 😭" ever again.

wanna go deeper? run, don't walk, to mclfamily(7) — it's giving whole-family energy. 👑

✨ Generic stuff ✨

the foundational girlies, the ones who hold it all together 🫶

• mcl(1) — the mcl manual page itself. the main character, obviously. 👑
• mclfaq(7) — the mcl FAQ. all ur questions, already asked and answered. no cap.
• mcxio(5) — the mcl matrix format specification. learn the language of the matrices fr fr.
• mcx(1) — interface to basic matrix operations. your everyday matrix bestie. ✨
• mcxdump(1) — dump matrices, optionally map indices to labels. dumping never looked so good 💅
• mcxarray(1) — transform array data to MCL matrices. glow-up: array edition 🦋
• mcxconvert(1) — convert between ascii/binary storage types. a lil bilingual icon 🌈

🌸 Dealing with clustering results 🌸

you ran the clustering, and now you have… results. so many results. here's who helps you deal 🎀

• clmdist(1) — compute distances between clusterings. how far apart are these two, emotionally? 😭
• clminfo(1) — performance measures for clusterings. the vibe check, but with numbers. ⭐
• clmmeet(1) — compute intersection of clusterings. what do they have in common? the overlap era 💜
• clmmate(1) — compute best matches between two clusterings. matchmaking, but make it math 💖
• clmimac(1) — Interpret Matrices (c.q. MCL iterands) As Clusterings. yes that acronym spells IMAC, and yes it ate. 🔥
• clmresidue(1) — extend subgraph clusterings onto encompassing graph. taking the lil cluster and letting it live in the big graph 🌱
• clmorder(1) — reorder indices to represent blocks from different clusterings. organize ur life, organize ur blocks ✨
• clmclose(1) — fetch connected components from graphs or subgraphs. finding the friend groups 🫂

🧚 Dealing with matrices 🧚

back to the grid, bestie. these ones keep ur matrices in line 💅

• mcxio(5) — the mcl matrix format specification. yes she's listed twice, she contains multitudes 💖
• mcx(1) — interface to basic matrix operations. the basics, but make it iconic.
• mcxsubs(1) — extract submatrices by specifying sets of nodes and clusters. slicing, but precise 🍓
• mcxmap(1) — remap matrix indices / relabel graph nodes. rebranding, but for nodes 🌈

and that's the whole index, babe. go forth and cluster responsibly 🫶✨
