stringToGraph -- converts a Sparse6 or Graph6 String to a Graph in the given polynomial ring

Synopsis

Usage:

G = stringToEdgeIdeal(S, R)
Inputs:
- S, a string, a string in nauty's Sparse6 or Graph6 format
- R, a polynomial ring, a polynomial ring
Outputs:
- G, a graph, a graph in the given polynomial ring

Description

This method converts a Sparse6 or Graph6 string $S$ to an instance of the class Graph, stored in $G$, with the given polynomial ring $R$.

Note, this method requires that the number of variables of $R$ be the same as the number of vertices of $S$.

i1 : R = QQ[a..e];

i2 : stringToGraph("Dhc", R)

o2 = Graph{"edges" => {{a, b}, {b, c}, {c, d}, {a, e}, {d, e}}}
           "ring" => R
           "vertices" => {a, b, c, d, e}
