Class CompleteGraphGenerator<V,E>

java.lang.Object
org.jgrapht.generate.CompleteGraphGenerator<V,E>
All Implemented Interfaces:
GraphGenerator<V,E,V>

public class CompleteGraphGenerator<V,E> extends Object implements GraphGenerator<V,E,V>
Generates a complete graph of any size. A complete graph is a graph where every vertex shares an edge with every other vertex. If it is a directed graph, then edges must always exist in both directions. On a side note, a complete graph is the least efficient possible graph in terms of memory and cpu usage. Note: This contructor was designed for a simple undirected or directed graph. It will act strangely when used with certain graph types, such as undirected multigraphs. Note, though, that a complete undirected multigraph is rather senseless -- you can keep adding edges and the graph is never truly complete.

    • CompleteGraphGenerator

      public CompleteGraphGenerator(int size)
      Construct a new CompleteGraphGenerator.
      Parameters:
      size - number of vertices to be generated
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the specified size is negative.

      public void generateGraph(Graph<V,E> target, VertexFactory<V> vertexFactory, Map<String,V> 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,V>
      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)
