Interface EdgeSetFactory<V,E>

public interface EdgeSetFactory<V,E>

A factory for edge sets. This interface allows the creator of a graph to choose the Set implementation used internally by the graph to maintain sets of edges. This provides control over performance tradeoffs between memory and CPU usage.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.util.Set<E>	createEdgeSet(V vertex) Create a new edge set for a particular vertex.

Method Detail

createEdgeSet

java.util.Set<E> createEdgeSet(V vertex)

Create a new edge set for a particular vertex.

Parameters:

vertex - the vertex for which the edge set is being created; sophisticated factories may be able to use this information to choose an optimal set representation (e.g. ArrayUnenforcedSet for a vertex expected to have low degree, and LinkedHashSet for a vertex expected to have high degree)

Returns:

new set
