Class DijkstraShortestPathFinder

Object
  DijkstraShortestPathFinder

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphWalker

public class DijkstraShortestPathFinder
extends Object
implements GraphWalker

Calculates node paths in a graph using Dijkstra's Shortest Path Algorithm. Dijsktras algorithm calculates a shortest path from a specefied node (the source node of the underlying dijkstra iteration) to every other node in the graph.

Method Detail

calculate

public void calculate()

Performs the graph traversal and calculates the shortest path from the source node to every other node in the graph.

getPath

public Path getPath(Graphable g)

Returns a path from g to the source. If the desired path is the opposite (from the source to g) can be used.

Parameters:

g - The start node of the path to be calculated.

Returns:

A path from g to the source.

Walk.riterator()

getCost

public double getCost(Graphable g)

Returns the cost associated with a node calculated during the graph traversal.

Parameters:

g - The node whose cost is desired.

Returns:

The cost associated with the node.

getIterator

public DijkstraIterator getIterator()

getTraversal

public GraphTraversal getTraversal()

visit

public int visit(Graphable element,
                 GraphTraversal traversal)

Does nothing except signal the traversal to continue.

Specified by:

visit in interface GraphWalker

Parameters:

element - The component being visited.

traversal - The traversal controlling the sequence of graph component visits.

Returns:

GraphTraversal#CONTINUE to signal that the traversal should continue.
GraphTraversal#CONTINUE to signal that the traversal should suspend.
GraphTraversal#KILL_BRANCH to signal that the traversal should kill its current branch.
GraphTraversal#STOP to signal that the traversal should stop.

finish

public void finish()

Does nothing.

Specified by:

finish in interface GraphWalker
