All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphGenerator<V,E,V>

public class EmptyGraphGenerator<V,E>
extends java.lang.Object

Constructor Detail

EmptyGraphGenerator

public EmptyGraphGenerator(int size)

Construct a new EmptyGraphGenerator.

Parameters:

size - number of vertices to be generated

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified size is negative.

Method Detail

generateGraph

public void generateGraph(Graph<V,E> target,
                          VertexFactory<V> vertexFactory,
                          java.util.Map<java.lang.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)
