graphDual.m

%##################################################################
% Finds the dual of a graph; a dual is the inverted nodes-edges graph
% This is also called the line graph, adjoint graph or the edges adjacency
% 
% INPUTs: adjacency (neighbor) list representation of the graph (see adj2adjL.m)
% OUTPUTs: adj (neighbor) list of the corresponding dual graph and cell array of edges
%
% Note: This routine only works for undirected, simple graphs.
