generateGraph
public void generateGraph(Graph<V,E> target,
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
resultMap
- if non-null, receives implementation-specific mappings from String roles to
graph elements (or collections of graph elements)
