# Graph::Maker::Regular(3pm)

Creates a k-regular graph.

## NAME

Graph::Maker::Regular - Creates a k-regular graph.

## VERSION

Version 0.01

## SYNOPSIS

Creates a regular graph with the number of nodes and the specified degree. A regular graph has every node connected to exactly K other nodes. If the graph is directed then edges are added in both directions to create an undirected graph.

```
        use strict;
        use warnings;
        use Graph;
        use Graph::Maker;
        use Graph::Maker::Regular;
        my $g = new Graph::Maker('regular', N => 10, K => 2, undirected => 1);
        # work with the graph
```

## FUNCTIONS

### new %params

Creates a k-regular graph with the number of nodes. The recognized parameters are graph\_maker, N, and K any others are passed onto Graph's constructor. If N is not given it defaults to 0. If K is not given it defaults to 0. N\*K must be even. If graph\_maker is specified and is it will be called to create the Graph class as desired (for example if you have a subclass of Graph). Will croak with the message "Could not form the requested graph..." if it is unable to create the requested graph.
