Data.Graph.Inductive.Basic.undir appears to handle self-edges wrongly
According to the documentation of undir
, we get:
"Make the graph undirected, i.e. for every edge from A to B, there exists an edge from B to A."
My expectation would be that if a graph has an edge from C to C, then well, in undirected form it will still have an edge from C to C, and that's it (concerning that self-edge). Except, I noticed something different. Here is a piece of code I had, with printing added for debugging:
print theNodes
print theEdges
let numberedNodes = zip [0..] theNodes
let graph = undir (mkGraph numberedNodes theEdges) :: Gr String String
print graph
And here is the printed output:
["D$0","D$1","B$0","A$0"]
[(3,3,"y"),(3,0,"z"),(3,1,"z")]
mkGraph [(0,"D$0"),(1,"D$1"),(2,"B$0"),(3,"A$0")] [(0,3,"z"),(1,3,"z"),(3,0,"z"),(3,1,"z"),(3,3,"y"),(3,3,"y")]
Note the double occurrence of (3,3,"y")
in there.
I get how the edges (3,0,"z"),(3,1,"z")
before undir
turn into (0,3,"z"),(1,3,"z"),(3,0,"z"),(3,1,"z")
after it.
But why was the original edge (3,3,"y")
duplicated into (3,3,"y"),(3,3,"y")
? That seems uncalled for (and led to a wrong picture when feeding this graph into GraphViz
).
