Method Detail

newAbstractEdgeSet

public AbstractEdgeSet newAbstractEdgeSet(AbstractVertexSet vertexSet)

Constructs a new edge set based on a vertex set.

Parameters:

vertexSet - the vertex set used as base to the edge set.

Returns:

an abstract edge set empty.

newAbstractEdgeSet

public AbstractEdgeSet newAbstractEdgeSet(AbstractEdgeSet edgeSet)

Constructs a new edge set which is a sub set of an other edge set.

Parameters:

edgeSet - the edge set used as base to the edge set.

Returns:

an abstract edge set empty.

newAbstractEdgeSet

public AbstractEdgeSet newAbstractEdgeSet(AbstractEdgeSet es,
                                          AbstractVertexSet abstractVertexSet)

Constructs a new edge set which is as sub set of an other edge set and based on a vertex set. This is the most generic constructor. It permits to use a specific vertex set as the base of the new edge set. Then, it permits to associate the new edge set with an other edge set: the new is a sub set of the other.

Parameters:

es - the father edge set.

abstractVertexSet - the base of vertices of the new edge set.

Returns:

an abstract edge set empty.

newAbstractEdge

public AbstractEdge newAbstractEdge(AbstractVertex x,
                                    AbstractVertex y)

Constructs an edge beetween two vertices.

Parameters:

x - the first vertex.

y - the second vertex.

Returns:

the constructed edge.

newAbstractPath

public AbstractPath newAbstractPath(AbstractEdgeSet edgeSet)

Constructs a new path based on a edge set. The path is empty when constructed. Only edges from the edgeSet can be added in the path. It models the fact that the path is a subgraph of the main graph. Then, use the edge set of the graph to construct new paths.

Parameters:

edgeSet - the base of the path

Returns:

a empty path.
