@Deprecated
public interface EdgeFactory<V,E>

An edge factory used by graphs for creating new edges.

A graph uses the edge factory to create new edge objects whenever a user calls method Graph.addEdge(Object, Object). Users can also create the edge in user code and then use method Graph.addEdge(Object, Object, Object) to add the edge.

Note that when used inside a Graph the edge factory must return unique objects on each call.
