Class LinearGraphGenerator

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg._3pq.jgrapht.generate.LinearGraphGenerator
All Implemented Interfaces:
GraphGenerator

public class LinearGraphGenerator
extends java.lang.Object
implements GraphGenerator

LinearGraphGenerator generates a linear graph of any size. For a directed graph, the edges are oriented from START_VERTEX to END_VERTEX.

Method Detail

generateGraph

public void generateGraph(Graph target,
                          VertexFactory vertexFactory,
                          java.util.Map resultMap)
Description copied from interface: GraphGenerator
Generate a graph structure. The topology of the generated graph is dependent on the implementation. For graphs in which not all vertices share the same automorphism equivalence class, the generator may produce a labeling indicating the roles played by generated elements. This is the purpose of the resultMap parameter. For example, a generator for a wheel graph would designate a hub vertex. Role names used as keys in resultMap should be declared as public static final Strings by implementation classes.

Specified by:
generateGraph in interface GraphGenerator
Parameters:
target - receives the generated edges and vertices; if this is non-empty on entry, the result will be a disconnected graph since generated elements will not be connected to existing elements
vertexFactory - called to produce new vertices
resultMap - if non-null, receives implementation-specific mappings from String roles to graph elements (or collections of graph elements)
