Class Graph<E>

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.emf.compare.internal.utils.Graph<E>
Type Parameters:
E - Kind of elements used as this graph's nodes.
All Implemented Interfaces:
IGraph<E>
public class Graph<E> extends Object implements IGraph<E>
This structure will be used to maintain a undirected graph of elements.

This boils down to maintaining a list of children and parents of each node, updating them in sync with each other.

Take note that the elements of this graph are not necessarily all connected together. This can be used to represent a set of trees, a set of undirected graphs, a set of roots with no children...

This class is not intended to be sub-classed.

      Specified by:
      removeAll in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      elements - The elements which are to be removed from this graph.

    • addChildren

      public void addChildren(E element, Set<E> newChildren)
      Connects the given set of elements to a given parent. Note that nodes will be created for all new elements if they do not exist yet.

      Checks if the given element is a parent of the given potential child, directly or not.
      Specified by:
      hasChild in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      parent - Element that could be a parent of potentialChild.

    • getDirectParents

      public Set<E> getDirectParents(E element)
      Returns the direct parents of the given element.

      Note that the returned set is a view over a sub-graph of this graph, and that changes to it will not be reflected within the graph itself.

      getDirectParents in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      element - The element which parents we seek.

    • getTreeFrom

      public Set<E> getTreeFrom(E root)
      Returns the tree starting from the given root element if it is contained in the graph.

      Contrarily to getSubgraphContaining(Object), this will only iterate over the children (and recursively) of the given node, without ever "going up" to parents of these children.

      Note that the returned set is a view over a sub-graph of this graph, and that changes to it will not be reflected within the graph itself.

      Specified by:
      getTreeFrom in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:

    • getTreeFrom

      public Set<E> getTreeFrom(E root, Set<E> endPoints)
      Returns the tree starting from the given root element and ending at the given boundaries..

      Contrarily to getSubgraphContaining(Object, Set), this will only iterate over the children (and recursively) of the given node, without ever "going up" to parents of these children.

      Note that the returned set is a view over a sub-graph of this graph, and that changes to it will not be reflected within the graph itself.

      Specified by:
      getTreeFrom in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      root - The element we are to consider as the root of a tree.
      endPoints - Boundaries of the tree.

    • getSubgraphContaining

      public Set<E> getSubgraphContaining(E element)
      Returns the set of all elements of the subgraph containing the given element.

      Note that the returned set is a view over a sub-graph of this graph, and that changes to it will not be reflected within the graph itself.

      Specified by:
      getSubgraphContaining in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      element - Element we need the subgraph of.
      Returns:
      The set of all elements of the subgraph containing the given element, an empty set if that element is not present in this graph.

    • getSubgraphContaining

      public Set<E> getSubgraphContaining(E element, Set<E> endPoints)
      Returns the set of all elements of the subgraph containing the given element and ending at the given boundaries.

      getSubgraphContaining in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      element - Element we need the subgraph of.
      endPoints - Boundaries of the needed subgraph.
      Returns:
      An iterable over all elements of the subgraph containing the given element, an empty set if that element is not present in this graph.

    • breadthFirstIterator

      public PruningIterator<E> breadthFirstIterator()
      Returns a breadth-first iterator over this whole graph. This will begin iteration on this graph's roots (whether they are linked together (directly or indirectly) or not), then carry on over each depth level. This will never visit the same element twice, nor will it ever visit an element which parents haven't all been iterated over yet.

      The returned iterator does not support removal, and will fail or return undefined results if this graph is modified after the iterator's creation.

      Specified by:
      breadthFirstIterator in interface IGraph<E>
      Returns:
      A breadth-first iterator over this whole graph.

    • depthFirstIterator

      public Iterator<E> depthFirstIterator(E root)
      Returns a depth first iterator created with the given element as root. If the graph contains cycles, the same node won't be returned twice.

      The root will be returned first, then the left-most child of that root, then the left-most child of that child if any, or the closest sibling to the right of the current element. For example, with the following tree: 

           A
    / \
   B   C
  /   / \
 D   E   F
      The iteration order will be : A, B, D, C, E, F.

      The returned iterator does not support removal, and will fail or return undefined results if this graph is modified after the iterator's creation.

      Specified by:
      depthFirstIterator in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      root - The root of the tree over which we need to iterate.
      Returns:
      An iterator over the tree starting from the given root.

    • getParentData

      public E getParentData(E element)
      Get the parent data of the given element.

      The parent data, is the URI of the parent resource's object in case of a containment relationship between the given element and its parent.

      Specified by:
      getParentData in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      element - Element we need the parent data of.
      Returns:
      A parent data of type E if this element has a parent data, null otherwise.

    • addParentData

      public void addParentData(E element, E parentData)
      Set the parent data for the given element.

      The parent data, is the URI of the parent resource's object in case of a containment relationship between the given element and its parent.

      If the given element has several parents, then the addition of a new parent data results in delete the parent data. If the given element has no parents, then the addition of a new parent data results in delete the parent data.
      Specified by:
      addParentData in interface IGraph<E>
      Parameters:
      element - Element for which we need to set the parent data.
      parentData - The parent data to set.
