Class ConnectivityInspector<V,E>

java.lang.Object
org.jgrapht.alg.connectivity.ConnectivityInspector<V,E>
Type Parameters:
V - the graph vertex type
E - the graph edge type
All Implemented Interfaces:
EventListener, GraphListener<V,E>, VertexSetListener<V>
public class ConnectivityInspector<V,E> extends Object implements GraphListener<V,E>
Allows obtaining various connectivity aspects of a graph. The inspected graph is specified at construction time and cannot be modified. Currently, the inspector supports connected components for an undirected graph and weakly connected components for a directed graph. To find strongly connected components, use KosarajuStrongConnectivityInspector instead.

The inspector methods work in a lazy fashion: no computation is performed unless immediately necessary. Computation are done once and results and cached within this class for future need.

The inspector is also a GraphListener. If added as a listener to the inspected graph, the inspector will amend internal cached results instead of recomputing them. It is efficient when a few modifications are applied to a large graph. If many modifications are expected it will not be efficient due to added overhead on graph update operations. If inspector is added as listener to a graph other than the one it inspects, results are undefined.

  • Constructor Details

    • ConnectivityInspector

      public ConnectivityInspector(Graph<V,E> g)
      Creates a connectivity inspector for the specified graph.
      Parameters:
      g - the graph for which a connectivity inspector to be created.

  • Method Details

    • isConnected

      public boolean isConnected()
      Test if the inspected graph is connected. A graph is connected when there is a path between every pair of vertices. In a connected graph, there are no unreachable vertices. When the inspected graph is a directed graph, this method returns true if and only if the inspected graph is weakly connected. An empty graph is not considered connected.
      Returns:
      true if and only if inspected graph is connected.

    • connectedSetOf

      public Set<V> connectedSetOf(V vertex)
      Returns a set of all vertices that are in the maximally connected component together with the specified vertex. For more on maximally connected component, see http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/maximallyConnectedComponent.html.
      Parameters:
      vertex - the vertex for which the connected set to be returned.
      Returns:
      a set of all vertices that are in the maximally connected component together with the specified vertex.

    • connectedSets

      public List<Set<V>> connectedSets()
      Returns a list of Set s, where each set contains all vertices that are in the same maximally connected component. All graph vertices occur in exactly one set. For more on maximally connected component, see http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/maximallyConnectedComponent.html.
      Returns:
      Returns a list of Set s, where each set contains all vertices that are in the same maximally connected component.

    • edgeAdded

      public void edgeAdded(GraphEdgeChangeEvent<V,E> e)
      Description copied from interface: GraphListener
      Notifies that an edge has been added to the graph.
      Specified by:
      edgeAdded in interface GraphListener<V,E>
      Parameters:
      e - the edge event.
      See Also:

    • edgeRemoved

      public void edgeRemoved(GraphEdgeChangeEvent<V,E> e)
      Description copied from interface: GraphListener
      Notifies that an edge has been removed from the graph.
      Specified by:
      edgeRemoved in interface GraphListener<V,E>
      Parameters:
      e - the edge event.
      See Also:

    • pathExists

      public boolean pathExists(V sourceVertex, V targetVertex)
      Tests whether two vertices lay respectively in the same connected component (undirected graph), or in the same weakly connected component (directed graph).
      Parameters:
      sourceVertex - one end of the path.
      targetVertex - another end of the path.
      Returns:
      true if and only if the source and target vertex are in the same connected component (undirected graph), or in the same weakly connected component (directed graph).

    • vertexAdded

      public void vertexAdded(GraphVertexChangeEvent<V> e)
      Description copied from interface: VertexSetListener
      Notifies that a vertex has been added to the graph.
      Specified by:
      vertexAdded in interface VertexSetListener<V>
      Parameters:
      e - the vertex event.
      See Also:

    • vertexRemoved

      public void vertexRemoved(GraphVertexChangeEvent<V> e)
      Description copied from interface: VertexSetListener
      Notifies that a vertex has been removed from the graph.
      Specified by:
      vertexRemoved in interface VertexSetListener<V>
      Parameters:
      e - the vertex event.
