This class template implements a generator for R-MAT graphs [CZF04]_,
suitable for initializing an adjacency_list or other graph structure
with iterator-based initialization. An R-MAT graph has a scale-free
distribution w.r.t. vertex degree and is implemented using
Recursive-MATrix partitioning.  The output of this generator is sorted
for use with `compressed sparse row graph`_.

Where Defined

Constructors
------------

::

  sorted_rmat_iterator();

Constructs a past-the-end iterator.

::


  sorted_rmat_iterator(RandomGenerator& gen, vertices_size_type n, 
                       edges_size_type m, double a, double b, double c, 
                       double d, bool permute_vertices = true,
                       EdgePredicate ep = keep_all_edges());

Constructs an R-MAT generator iterator that creates a graph with ``n``
vertices and ``m`` edges.  ``a``, ``b``, ``c``, and ``d`` represent
the probability that a generated edge is placed of each of the 4
quadrants of the partitioned adjacency matrix.  Probabilities are
drawn from the random number generator ``gen``.  Vertex indices are
permuted to eliminate locality when ``permute_vertices`` is true.
``ep`` allows the user to specify which edges are retained, this is
useful in the case where the user wishes to refrain from storing
remote edges locally during generation to reduce memory consumption.

Example
-------

::

  #include <boost/graph/compressed_sparse_row_graph.hpp>
  #include <boost/graph/rmat_graph_generator.hpp>
  #include <boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp>

  typedef boost::compressed_sparse_row_graph<> Graph;
  typedef boost::sorted_rmat_iterator<boost::minstd_rand, Graph> 
    RMATGen;

  int main()
  {
    boost::minstd_rand gen;
    // Create graph with 100 nodes and 400 edges 
    Graph g(RMATGen(gen, 100, 400, 0.57, 0.19, 0.19, 0.05), 
            RMATGen(), 100);
    return 0;
  }
