  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    int
    Returns the value of the counter for the component.
    int
    Returns an identifier for the component.
    Returns the underlying object referenced by the graph component.
    Iterator<? extends Graphable>
    Returns an iterator over any related components.
    boolean
    Determines if the component has been marked as visited.
    void
    setCount(int count)
    Sets the value of the counter for the component.
    void
    setID(int id)
    Sets the identifying integer for the component.
    void
    Sets the underlying object reference for the component.
    void
    setVisited(boolean visited)
    Marks the component as being visited/unvisited.
  • Method Details

    • getID

      int getID()
      Returns an identifier for the component. This number is not necessarily persistent or unique.
      Returns:
      Identifying integer.
    • setID

      void setID(int id)
      Sets the identifying integer for the component.
      Parameters:
      id - New identifying integer.
    • isVisited

      boolean isVisited()
      Determines if the component has been marked as visited. The visited flag serves as a binary switch for the component which can be used for graph queries, graph traversals, or user defined purposes.
      Returns:
      True if visited(on), false if unvisited(off).
    • setVisited

      void setVisited(boolean visited)
      Marks the component as being visited/unvisited. The visited flag serves as a binary switch for the component which can be used for graph queries, graph traversals, or user defined purposes.
      Parameters:
      visited - True if visited(on), false if unvisited(off).
    • getCount

      int getCount()
      Returns the value of the counter for the component. Graph components have a counter associated with them to be used for graph queries, graph traversals, or user defined purposes.
      Returns:
      int The value of the counter for the component.
    • setCount

      void setCount(int count)
      Sets the value of the counter for the component. Graph components have a counter associated with them to be used for graph queries, graph traversals, or user defined purposes.
      Parameters:
      count - The new value of the counter for the component.
    • getObject

      Object getObject()
      Returns the underlying object referenced by the graph component.
      Returns:
      Underlying object reference, the entity being modelled by graph component.
    • setObject

      void setObject(Object obj)
      Sets the underlying object reference for the component.
      Parameters:
      obj - The entity being modelled by the graph component.
    • getRelated

      Iterator<? extends Graphable> getRelated()
      Returns an iterator over any related components. A graph component is related to other components of the graph of similary type through some relationship.
      Returns:
      Iterator An iterator over other components of the graph that are related to the component.
