For using the igraph C library
Attributes are numbers or strings (or basically any kind of data) associated with the vertices or edges of a graph, or with the graph itself. E.g. you may label vertices with symbolic names or attach numeric weights to the edges of a graph.
igraph attributes are designed to be flexible and extensible. In igraph attributes are implemented via an interface abstraction: any type implementing the functions in the interface, can be used for storing vertex, edge and graph attributes. This means that different attribute implementations can be used together with igraph. This is reasonable: if igraph is used from Python attributes can be of any Python type, from GNU R all R types are allowed. There is an experimental attribute implementation to be used when programming in C, but by default it is currently turned off.
First we briefly look over how attribute handlers can be implemented. This is not something a user does every day. It is rather typically the job of the high level interface writers. (But it is possible to write an interface without implementing attributes.) Then we show the experimental C attribute handler.
It is possible to attach an attribute handling
interface to igraph. This is simply a table of functions, of
type igraph_attribute_table_t. These functions are invoked to
notify the attribute handling code about the structural changes in
a graph. See the documentation of this type for details.
By default there is no attribute interface attached to igraph,
to attach one, call igraph_set_attribute_table with your new
table.

This type collects the functions defining an attribute handler. It has the following members:
Values:

This function is called whenever a new graph object is
created, right after it is created but before any vertices or
edges are added. It is supposed to set the |
|
This function is called whenever the graph object is destroyed, right before freeing the allocated memory. |
|
This function is called when copying a graph with |
|
Called when vertices are added to a graph, before adding the vertices themselves. The number of vertices to add is supplied as an argument. Expected to return an error code. |
|
Typically called when a new graph is created based on an existing one, e.g. if vertices are removed from a graph. The supplied index vector defines which old vertex a new vertex corresponds to. Its length must be the same as the number of vertices in the new graph. |
|
This function is called when the creation of a new graph involves a merge (contraction, etc.) of vertices from another graph. The function is after the new graph was created. An argument specifies how several vertices from the old graph map to a single vertex in the new graph. |
|
Called when new edges have been added. The number of new edges are supplied as well. It is expected to return an error code. |
|
Typically called when a new graph is created and some of the new edges should carry the attributes of some of the old edges. The idx vector shows the mapping between the old edges and the new ones. Its length is the same as the number of edges in the new graph, and for each edge it gives the id of the old edge (the edge in the old graph). |
|
This function is called when the creation of a new graph involves a merge (contraction, etc.) of edges from another graph. The function is after the new graph was created. An argument specifies how several edges from the old graph map to a single edge in the new graph. |
|
Query the attributes of a graph, the names and types should be returned. |
|
Check whether a graph has the named graph/vertex/edge attribute. |
|
Query the type of a graph/vertex/edge attribute. |
|
Query a numeric graph attribute. The

Query a boolean vertex attribute,
for the vertices included in |

Query a numeric edge attribute, for
the edges included in |
|
Query a string edge attribute, for the
edges included in |
|
Query a boolean edge attribute, for the
edges included in |
Note that the get_*_*_attr are allowed to
convert the attributes to numeric or string. E.g. if a vertex attribute
is a GNU R complex data type, then
get_string_vertex_attribute may serialize it
into a string, but this probably makes sense only if
add_vertices is able to deserialize it.
igraph_attribute_table_t * igraph_set_attribute_table(const igraph_attribute_table_t * table);
This function attaches attribute handling code to the igraph library. Note that the attribute handler table is not thread-local even if igraph is compiled in thread-local mode. In the vast majority of cases, this is not a significant restriction.
Arguments:
|
Pointer to an |
Returns:
Pointer to the old attribute handling table. |
Time complexity: O(1).

Note that this is only the
type communicated by the attribute interface towards igraph
functions. E.g. in the R attribute handler, it is safe to say
that all complex R object attributes are strings, as long as this
interface is able to serialize them into strings. See also igraph_attribute_table_t.
Values:
|
Currently used internally as a "null value" or "placeholder value" in some algorithms. Attribute records with this type must not be passed to igraph functions. |
|
Numeric attribute. |
|
Logical values, true or false. |
|
Attribute that can be converted to a string. |
|
Custom attribute type, to be used for special data types by client applications. The R and Python interfaces use this for attributes that hold R or Python objects. Usually ignored by igraph functions. |
igraph_attribute_combination_init — Initialize attribute combination list.igraph_attribute_combination_add — Add combination record to attribute combination list.igraph_attribute_combination_remove — Remove a record from an attribute combination list.igraph_attribute_combination_destroy — Destroy attribute combination list.igraph_attribute_combination_type_t — The possible types of attribute combinations.igraph_attribute_combination — Initialize attribute combination list and add records.Several graph operations may collapse multiple vertices or edges into
a single one. Attribute combination lists are used to indicate to the attribute
handler how to combine the attributes of the original vertices or edges and
how to derive the final attribute value that is to be assigned to the collapsed
vertex or edge. For example, igraph_simplify() removes loops and combines
multiple edges into a single one; in case of a graph with an edge attribute
named weight the attribute combination list can tell the attribute handler
whether the weight of a collapsed edge should be the sum, the mean or some other
function of the weights of the original edges that were collapsed into one.
One attribute combination list may contain several attribute combination records, one for each vertex or edge attribute that is to be handled during the operation.

Example 12.1. File examples/simple/igraph_attribute_combination.c
#include <igraph.h> int main() { igraph_t graph; igraph_attribute_combination_t comb; igraph_set_attribute_table(&igraph_cattribute_table); igraph_small(&graph, 2, IGRAPH_DIRECTED, 0,1, 0,1, -1); SETEAB(&graph, "type", 0, true); SETEAB(&graph, "type", 1, false); igraph_attribute_combination(&comb, "weight", IGRAPH_ATTRIBUTE_COMBINE_SUM, "type", IGRAPH_ATTRIBUTE_COMBINE_FIRST, "", IGRAPH_ATTRIBUTE_COMBINE_IGNORE, IGRAPH_NO_MORE_ATTRIBUTES); igraph_simplify(&graph, /*multiple=*/ true, /*loops=*/ true, &comb); igraph_write_graph_graphml(&graph, stdout, /*prefixattr=*/ true); igraph_destroy(&graph); igraph_attribute_combination_destroy(&comb); return 0; }
There is an experimental attribute handler that can be used from C code. In this section we show how this works. This attribute handler is by default not attached (the default is no attribute handler), so we first need to attach it:
igraph_set_attribute_table(&igraph_cattribute_table);
Now the attribute functions are available. Please note that
the attribute handler must be attached before you call any other
igraph functions, otherwise you might end up with graphs without
attributes and an active attribute handler, which might cause
unexpected program behaviour. The rule is that you attach the
attribute handler in the beginning of your
main() and never touch it again. Detaching
the attribute handler might lead to memory leaks.
It is not currently possible to have attribute handlers on a per-graph basis. All graphs in an application must be managed with the same attribute handler. This also applies to the default case when there is no attribute handler at all.
The C attribute handler supports attaching real numbers, boolean
values and character strings as attributes. No vector values are allowed.
For example, vertices have a name attribute holding a single
string value for each vertex, but it is not possible to have a coords
attribute which is a vector of numbers per vertex.
The functions documented in this section are specific to the C attribute handler. Code using these functions will not function when a different attribute handler is attached.

The C attribute handler supports combining the attributes of multiple
vertices of edges into a single attribute during a vertex or edge contraction
operation via a user-defined function. This is achieved by setting the
type of the attribute combination to IGRAPH_ATTRIBUTE_COMBINE_FUNCTION
and passing in a pointer to the custom combination function when specifying
attribute combinations in igraph_attribute_combination() or
igraph_attribute_combination_add() . For the C attribute handler, the
signature of the function depends on the type of the underlying attribute.
For numeric attributes, use:
igraph_error_t function(const igraph_vector_t *input, igraph_real_t *output);
where input will receive a vector containing the value of the attribute
for all the vertices or edges being combined, and output must be filled
by the function to the combined value. Similarly, for Boolean attributes, the
function takes a boolean vector in input and must return the combined Boolean
value in output:
igraph_error_t function(const igraph_vector_bool_t *input, igraph_bool_t *output);
For string attributes, the signature is slightly different:
igraph_error_t function(const igraph_strvector_t *input, char **output);
In case of strings, all strings in the input vector are owned by igraph
and must not be modified or freed in the combination handler. The string
returned to the caller in output remains owned by the caller; igraph will
make a copy it and store the copy in the appropriate part of the data
structure holding the vertex or edge attributes.
