Output formatting for a transportation model

Description
  • small LP problem
  • generate a nice printed output
  • using dynamic arrays for representing sparse data structures
  • reading several data arrays from a single data file
Further explanation of this example: 'Mosel User Guide', Section 3.2 A transport example and Section 10.1 Producing formatted output.

The section 'Traditional embedding: solving multiple scenarios' of the Xpress Whitepaper 'Embedding Optimization Algorithms' describes how to embed a similar transportation model into an application.
