print

I am my own Grandpa! Printer

Description

The printer takes input from standard input, and can be piped directly in from the program's output in Clingo.

Arguments

There are no arguments, nor configurations necessary.

Output

Output is in graphviz dot format. The structure should be human-parsable, however use of graphviz will result in improved, visual renderings. Output can be redirected into a .dot file or piped directly into the dot application.

Please see the printer's header documentation for example use.

Sample Output

Using the provided instance.lp file. Output prior to interpretation by graphviz is a dot file structure:

// Graph visualization using dot
digraph {
    node [color=black]
    edge [color=black,decorate=true]
    //splines=polyline

    ranksep=2
    { rank=min ; widow ; father; }
    //{ rank=same ; widows_daughter ; me }
    { rank=max ; bouncing_baby_boy ; son }

    me -> widow [dir=both,label="Married",color=blue]
    father -> widows_daughter [dir=both,label="Married",color=blue]
    father -> me [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    widow -> widows_daughter [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    me -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    widows_daughter -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    widows_daughter -> son [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    father -> son [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    father -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    widow -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    me -> widows_daughter [dir=both,label="Parent",color=darkgreen]
    son -> me [dir=both,label="Siblings",color=green]
    bouncing_baby_boy -> me [dir=both,label="Siblings",color=green]
    bouncing_baby_boy -> widows_daughter [dir=both,label="Siblings",color=green]
    son -> bouncing_baby_boy [dir=both,label="Siblings",color=green]
    me [shape=box,style=filled,fillcolor=lightblue]
    father [shape=box,style=filled,fillcolor=lightblue]
    bouncing_baby_boy [shape=box,style=filled,fillcolor=lightblue]
    son [shape=box,style=filled,fillcolor=lightblue]
    bouncing_baby_boy -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Uncle",color=orange]
    bouncing_baby_boy -> son [dir=both,label="Uncle",color=orange]
    bouncing_baby_boy -> me [label="Uncle",color=orange]
    bouncing_baby_boy -> widows_daughter [label="Uncle",color=orange]
    son -> widows_daughter [label="Uncle",color=orange]
    father -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    widows_daughter -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    widow -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    me -> bouncing_baby_boy [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    widow -> son [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    me -> son [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    father -> widows_daughter [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    widows_daughter -> widows_daughter [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    widow -> me [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    me -> me [label="Grandparent",color=purple]
    me -> me [dir=both,taillabel="GRANDPA",labeldistance=8,labelangle=1,style=bold,color=red]
    widow [shape=ellipse,style=filled,fillcolor=pink]
    widows_daughter [shape=ellipse,style=filled,fillcolor=pink]
}

While this does not lend itself to easy human parsing, when rendered through dot we can view the relationships, graphically:
