public interface IntGraphFactory extends GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
A factory for IntGraph objects.

The factory can be used to create new empty graphs, with different options and capabilities. Few methods are available to optimize the graph implementation choice. The factory can also be used to create a copy of an existing graphs, with the same vertices and edges, with/without copying the vertices/edges weights.

Both the graph factory and IntGraphBuilder are used to create new graphs. The difference is that vertices and edges can be added to the builder, which is then used to construct non empty graphs, while the factory is only used to choose a graph implementation and create an empty graph.

This interface is a specification of GraphFactory for IntGraph.

    • newGraph

      IntGraph newGraph()
      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Create a new empty graph.
      Specified by:
      newGraph in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Returns:
      a new graph with the factory options

    • newCopyOf

      default IntGraph newCopyOf(Graph<Integer,Integer> g)
      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Create a copy of a given graph, with the same vertices and edges, without copying weights.

      An identical copy of the given graph will be created, with the same vertices and edges, without copying the vertices/edges weights. The returned Graph will always be mutable, with no side affects on the original graph.

      Differing from Graph.copy(), the capabilities of the new graph are determined by the factory configuration, rather than copied from the given graph. Note for example that if the factory chooses to use an implementation that does not support self edges (if GraphFactory.allowSelfEdges(boolean) was not called with true), attempting to create a copy of a graph that does contains self edges will result in an exception.

      For an immutable copy of a graph, see GraphFactory.newImmutableCopyOf(Graph, boolean, boolean).

      Specified by:
      newCopyOf in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Parameters:
      g - the original graph to copy

    • newBuilder

      IntGraphBuilder newBuilder()
      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Create a new graph builder with the factory parameters.

      The created builder can be used to add vertices and edges, and then build a (mutable or immutable) non empty graph, differing from the factory which only builds empty graphs. The capabilities such as un/directed, support of self edges, support of parallel edges, and hints such as expected number of vertices and edges, other hints, etc. are copied from the factory to the builder.

      Specified by:
      newBuilder in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Returns:
      a new graph builder with the factory parameters

    • newBuilderCopyOf

      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Create a new graph builder with the factory parameters initialized with an existing graph vertices and edges, without copying the weights.

      If the given graph is directed, the new builder will build directed graphs, and similarly for undirected graphs.

      newBuilderCopyOf in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Parameters:
      g - a graph
      Returns:

      copyEdgesWeights - if true, the weights of the edges will be copied from the graph to the builder
      Returns:
      a graph builder with the factory parameters initialized with the given graph vertices and edges, with/without the original graph vertices/edges weights.

    • setDirected

      IntGraphFactory setDirected(boolean directed)
      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Determine if graphs built by this factory should be directed.

      Usually the factory will be created using either GraphFactory.directed() or GraphFactory.undirected(), and there will be no need to call this method. However, it is sometimes useful use the same factory to build both directed and undirected graphs, and this method can be used to change the factory configuration. For example, a factory can be passed to a random graph generator, which can generated both directed and undirected graphs, depending on the generator parameters.

      Specified by:
      setDirected in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Parameters:
      directed - if true graphs built by this factory will be directed, else they will be undirected
      Returns:
      this factory

      By default, graphs built by this factory will not support self edges.

      Returns:
      this factory

    • allowSelfEdges

      IntGraphFactory allowSelfEdges(boolean selfEdges)
      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Determine if graphs built by this factory should be support self edges.

      By default, graphs built by this factory will not support self edges.

      Specified by:

    • allowParallelEdges

      default IntGraphFactory allowParallelEdges()
      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Change the config of this factory so that the built graphs will support parallel edges.

      By default, graphs built by this factory will support parallel edges. The reason is that in order to enforce no parallel edges are added to the graph, an efficient lookup of edges (keyed by an edge's vertices) is required, which is an operation most graph algorithms do not use and therefore most implementations are not optimized for. See GraphFactory.Hint.FastEdgeLookup.

      Specified by:
      allowParallelEdges in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Returns:
      this factory

      Description copied from interface: GraphFactory
      Determine if graphs built by this factory should be support parallel edges.

      By default, graphs built by this factory will support parallel edges. The reason is that in order to enforce no parallel edges are added to the graph, an efficient lookup of edges (keyed by an edge's vertices) is required, which is an operation most graph algorithms do not use and therefore most implementations are not optimized for.

      default IntGraphFactory setVertexBuilder(IdBuilder<Integer> vertexBuilder)
      Set the vertex builder used by the built graph(s).

      The vertex builder is used by graphs to create new vertices when the user does not provide them explicitly, see Graph.addVertex(). The same vertex builder will be used for all graphs built by this factory, and graphs built by GraphBuilder created by this factory. If a different instance of a vertex builder is required for each graph, consider using GraphFactory.setVertexFactory(Supplier) instead.

      For some types there is a default vertex builder, see IdBuilder.defaultBuilder(Class).

      By default, graphs built by this factory will not have a vertex builder, namely a null vertex builder.

      By default, graphs created by this factory will have a vertex builder that uses a counter and assign the next id to each new vertex by incrementing the counter until there is no vertex with that id.

      setVertexBuilder in interface GraphFactory<Integer,Integer>
      Parameters:
      vertexBuilder - the vertex builder, or null if no vertex builder should be used
