<div id="content"><div id='filecontents'><h1>SimpleGraph</h1>
<p>A very basic graph gem for Ruby.</p>
<p>Currently only unweighted, undirected graphs are supported.
This means that multiple edges between nodes are ignored, although self loops are allowed.</p>
<h4>Warning</h4>
<p>Note that this is a very early version, and everything about this library is subject to change at any given time without notice. Expect breaking changes.</p>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>Add this line to your application's Gemfile:</p>
<pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='id identifier rubyid_gem'>gem</span> <span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>'</span><span class='tstring_content'>simple_graph</span><span class='tstring_end'>'</span></span>
</code></pre>
<p>And then execute:</p>
<pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ bundle
</code></pre>
<p>Or install it yourself as:</p>
<pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby">$ gem install simple_graph
</code></pre>
