Experimental functions

  • They are not officially of the current release.
  • They likely will not be officially be part of the next release:
    • The functions might not make use of ANY-INTEGER and ANY-NUMERICAL
    • Name might change.
    • Signature might change.
    • Functionality might change.
    • pgTap tests might be missing.
    • Might need c/c++ coding.
    • May lack documentation.
    • Documentation if any might need to be rewritten.
    • Documentation examples might need to be automatically generated.
    • Might need a lot of feedback from the comunity.
    • Might depend on a proposed function of pgRouting
    • Might depend on a deprecated function of pgRouting

Availability

  • Version 2.5.0
    • New Experimental function

Description

Given a graph G, its line graph L(G) is a graph such that:

  • Each vertex of L(G) represents an edge of G
  • Two vertices of L(G) are adjacent if and only if their corresponding edges share a common endpoint in G.

Parameters

Column Type Description
edges_sql TEXT SQL query as described above.
directed BOOLEAN
  • When true the graph is considered as Directed.
  • When false the graph is considered as Undirected.

Inner query

Column Type Default Description
id ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the edge.
source ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the first end point vertex of the edge.
target ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the second end point vertex of the edge.
cost ANY-NUMERICAL  

Weight of the edge (source, target)

  • When negative: edge (source, target) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.
reverse_cost ANY-NUMERICAL -1

Weight of the edge (target, source),

  • When negative: edge (target, source) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.

Where:

ANY-INTEGER:SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT
ANY-NUMERICAL:SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, REAL, FLOAT

Result Columns

RETURNS SETOF (seq, source, target, cost, reverse_cost)

Column Type Description
seq INTEGER Sequential value starting from 1.
source BIGINT

Identifier of the source vertex of the current edge id.

  • When negative: the source is the reverse edge in the original graph.
target BIGINT

Identifier of the target vertex of the current edge id.

  • When negative: the target is the reverse edge in the original graph.
cost FLOAT

Weight of the edge (source, target).

  • When negative: edge (source, target) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.
reverse_cost FLOAT

Weight of the edge (target, source).

  • When negative: edge (target, source) does not exist, therefore it’s not part of the graph.
