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]
...
*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
...

*Vertices

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

[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. The definition of a label is obligatory.
  • longitude, latitude – coordinates of the node. All values can be entered, but real world coordinates are: -180 <= longitude <= 180, 0 <= latitude <= 90. Coordinates are obligatory for STEM.

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

*Edges

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]

  • v1 – initial vertex number. The definition of v1 is obligatory. v1 has to be defined as node (see above: vertexnum).
  • v2 – terminal vertex number. The definition of v2 is obligatory. v2 has to be defined as node (see above: vertexnum).
  • borderlength – defines the borderlength for CommonBorderEdges

Containment Edges: [containing node number] [contained node number]

Optional parameters for Migration Edges:

Parameters only valid in STEM (these parameters are ignored by Pajek):

  • popid – identifier of a population migrating on the edge. This parameter may be used repeatedly. If this parameter and additionally “rateab” or “rateba” is set at least once then a MigrationEdge will be specified in STEM, otherwise a CommonBorderEdge will be defined.
  • rateba – fraction of the population in node v2 migrating over the edge to the node v1 in a given time period. This parameter may be used repeatedly. The associated popid is the last mentioned one. The default value is 0.
Example: 1 2 popid human rateab 0.2 rateba 0.1 popid anopheles rateab 0.5 rateba 0.1

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.
