PolygonGraphGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphGenerator

public class PolygonGraphGenerator
extends Object
implements GraphGenerator

An implementation of GraphGenerator used to build graphs from a set of polygons.

This graph generator takes Polygon objects as input when constructing a graph. The following code constructs a graph from a set of polygons.

        
  //get some polygons
  Polygon[] polygons = ...

  //determine what the relationship will be
  PolygonGraphGenerator rel = new PolygonGraphGenerator.PolygonRelationship() {

     public boolean related(Polygon p1, Polygon p2) {
      return p1.intersects(p2);
     }

     public boolean equal(Polygon p1, Polygon p2) {
        return p1.equals(p2);
     }
  }
  //create the generator
  PolygonGraphGenerator gg = new PolygonGraphGenerator(new BasicGraphBuilder(),rel);

  //start building
  for (int i = 0; i < polygons.length; i++) {
    gg.add(polygons[i]);
  }
        
 

For each distinct polygon added to the graph, a node is created. If two polygons are considered equal, only a single node is created. If two polygons are considered related, the associated nodes share an edge. Equality and relationship is determined by PolygonGraphGenerator.PolygonRelationship interface. An instance of this interface is passed to the generator at construction.
