generateGraph
public void generateGraph(Graph<V,E> target,
VertexFactory<V> vertexFactory,
Map<String,T> resultMap)
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<V,E,T>
- 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 elementsvertexFactory
- called to produce new verticesresultMap
- if non-null, receives implementation-specific mappings
from String roles to graph elements (or collections of graph elements)
