Ruby Graph Library (RGL) RGL is a framework for graph data structures and algorithms. The design of the library is much influenced by the Boost Graph Library (BGL) which is written in C++ heavily using its template mechanism. Refer to www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc for further links and documentation on graph data structures and algorithms and the design rationales of BGL. A comprehensive summary of graph terminology can be found in the the graph section of the Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures at www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/graph.html.
