File Format

STEM allows users to create a custom graph using a format similar to the Pajek ([1]) format. The PajekNetGraphGenerator, which is available in the graph creation dialogue of STEM, can create user-defined graphs for STEM and is based on this format. The format specification is as follows.

*Vertices [number of nodes]
[node number] [node name] [longitude] [latitude] [additional optional parameters] // spec for a new node
[node number] [node name] // spec for reference to existing node
...
*Edges
[origin node number] [destination node number] popID [populationID] rate [rate] // spec for migration edges
[containing node number] [contained node number] // spec for containment edges
...

Node Format

The keyword "*Vertices [number of nodes]" is the starting point for the section, in which each node is described using following format:

New Node

[node number] [node name] [longitude] [latitude] [optional parameters]:

  • node number – unique node number (1, 2, 3, ...). Successive numbering of nodes is obligatory.
  • node name – unique name consisting of letters a..zA..Z and digits 0..9.
  • longitude, latitude – coordinates of the node. All values can be entered, but real world coordinates are: -180 <= longitude <= 180, 0 <= latitude <= 90.

Optional parameters:

  • popID – identifier of a population of the node. This parameter may be used repeatedly.
  • popCount – number of individuals living in the node. This parameter may be used repeatedly. The associated popid is the last mentioned one.
Example: 1 Berlin 13.398889 52.500556 popID men popCount 1682900000 popID women popcount 1753500000

Node Reference

[node number] [node name]:

Edges Format

The keyword "*Edges" is the starting point for the edges section. Two types of edges can be described migration edges and containment edges. The format is as follows

Migration Edges

[origin node number] [destination node number] popID [populationID] rate [rate]:

  • origin node number – number of the node the population migrates from. Has to be defined as node number in *Vertices.
  • destination node number – number of the node the population migrates from. Has to be defined as node number in *Vertices.
  • populationID – defines the ID of the migrating population.
  • rate - number population members migrating per day.

Optional parameters:

Containment Edges

[containing node number] [contained node number]:

  • containing node number – number of the node that contains the other node. Has to be defined as node number in *Vertices.
  • contained node number – number of the node that is contained by the other node. Has to be defined as node number in *Vertices.

Example

*Vertices 3
1 Berlin 1 1 popID men popCount 100 popID women popCount 110
2 Bonn 1.5 1 popID men popCount 100 popID women popCount 110
3 Germany 1.2 1.2
*Edges
1 2 popID men rate 0.1
2 1 popID women rate 0.2
3 1
3 2

Running the downloadable pajek scenario the map view should appear as shown below.
