Question

I am newbie in boost library, I tried to apply force directed layout from the boost documentation website but I encountered the error like this when I try to compile my code:

error: no matching function for call to ‘random_graph_layout(MyGraph&, CoordSqMap&, double, double, double, double, boost::minstd_rand&)’

error: no matching function for call to ‘fruchterman_reingold_force_directed_layout(MyGraph&, CoordSqMap&, double&, double&, boost::bgl_named_params<progress_cooling, boost::cooling_t, boost::no_property>)’

I have attached my code.

#include <boost/graph/fruchterman_reingold.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/random_layout.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/simple_point.hpp>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

class progress_cooling : public linear_cooling<double>
{
  typedef linear_cooling<double> inherited;

 public:
  explicit progress_cooling(std::size_t iterations) : inherited(iterations)
  {
    display.reset(new progress_display(iterations + 1, std::cerr));
  }

  double operator()()
  {
    ++(*display);
    return inherited::operator()();
  }

 private:
  shared_ptr<boost::progress_display> display;
};

typedef boost::small_world_iterator<boost::minstd_rand, MyGraph> SWGen;

int main()
{
  boost::minstd_rand gen;
  // Create graph with 10000 nodes
  int nodecount = 90000;
  MyGraph g(SWGen(gen, nodecount, 6, 0.03), SWGen(), nodecount);

  double width = 2;
  double height = 2;

  CoordSqMap position = get(coordinates_sq_t(), g);
  random_graph_layout(g, position, -width/2, width/2, -height/2, height/2, gen);

  int iterations = 20;
  fruchterman_reingold_force_directed_layout
    (g, position, width, height,
     cooling(progress_cooling(iterations)) /* .force_pairs(all_force_pairs()) */  );

  return 0;
}

I tried all my best possible way to solve this still not able to do this. Do you have any suggestion for this. Do you have a workable sample code for Kamada kawai spring layout.

Answer 1

If you are using a relatively new version but not the latest release, there was a bug in some versions where the interfaces to the functions had been updated but the documentation hadn’t been. The correct documentation is at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/graph/doc/fruchterman_reingold.html (and the other current BGL documentation pages).
