public class Subgraph<V,E,G extends Graph<V,E>> extends AbstractGraph<V,E> implements Serializable
A subgraph is a graph that has a subset of vertices and a subset of edges with respect to some base graph. More formally, a subgraph G(V,E) that is based on a base graph Gb(Vb,Eb) satisfies the following subgraph property: V is a subset of Vb and E is a subset of Eb. Other than this property, a subgraph is a graph with any respect and fully complies with the Graph interface.

If the base graph is a ListenableGraph, the subgraph listens on the base graph and guarantees the subgraph property. If an edge or a vertex is removed from the base graph, it is automatically removed from the subgraph. Subgraph listeners are informed on such removal only if it results in a cascaded removal from the subgraph. If the subgraph has been created as an induced subgraph it also keeps track of edges being added to its vertices. If vertices are added to the base graph, the subgraph remains unaffected.

If the base graph is not a ListenableGraph, then the subgraph property cannot be guaranteed. If edges or vertices are removed from the base graph, they are not removed from the subgraph.

Modifications to Subgraph are allowed as long as the subgraph property is maintained. Addition of vertices or edges are allowed as long as they also exist in the base graph. Removal of vertices or edges is always allowed. The base graph is never affected by any modification made to the subgraph.

A subgraph may provide a "live-window" on a base graph, so that changes made to its vertices or edges are immediately reflected in the base graph, and vice versa. For that to happen, vertices and edges added to the subgraph must be identical (that is, reference-equal and not only value-equal) to their respective ones in the base graph. Previous versions of this class enforced such identity, at a severe performance cost. Currently it is no longer enforced. If you want to achieve a "live-window"functionality, your safest tactics would be to NOT override the equals() methods of your vertices and edges. If you use a class that has already overridden the equals() method, such as String, than you can use a wrapper around it, or else use it directly but exercise a great care to avoid having different-but-equal instances in the subgraph and the base graph.

This graph implementation guarantees deterministic vertex and edge set ordering (via LinkedHashSet).

    • Subgraph

      public Subgraph(G base, Set<V> vertexSubset, Set<E> edgeSubset)
      Creates a new Subgraph.
      Parameters:
      base - the base (backing) graph on which the subgraph will be based.
      vertexSubset - vertices to include in the subgraph. If null then all vertices are included.
      edgeSubset - edges to in include in the subgraph. If null then all the edges whose vertices found in the graph are included.

      Creates a new induced Subgraph. The subgraph will keep track of edges being added to its vertex subset as well as deletion of edges and vertices. If base it not listenable, this is identical to the call Subgraph(base, vertexSubset, null) .

      In undirected graphs, some of the returned edges may have their source and target vertices in the opposite order. In simple graphs the returned set is either singleton set or empty set.

      Specified by:

      Parameters:
      sourceVertex - source vertex of the edge.
      targetVertex - target vertex of the edge.

      Returns an edge connecting source vertex to target vertex if such vertices and such edge exist in this graph. Otherwise returns null. If any of the specified vertices is null returns null

      In undirected graphs, the returned edge may have its source and target vertices in the opposite order.

      Specified by:
      getEdge in interface Graph<V,E>
      Parameters:

      public EdgeFactory<V,E> getEdgeFactory()
      Description copied from interface: Graph
      Returns the edge factory using which this graph creates new edges. The edge factory is defined when the graph is constructed and must not be modified.

    • addEdge

      public E addEdge(V sourceVertex, V targetVertex)
      Description copied from interface: Graph
      Creates a new edge in this graph, going from the source vertex to the target vertex, and returns the created edge. Some graphs do not allow edge-multiplicity. In such cases, if the graph already contains an edge from the specified source to the specified target, than this method does not change the graph and returns null.

      The source and target vertices must already be contained in this graph. If they are not found in graph IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

      This method creates the new edge e using this graph's EdgeFactory. For the new edge to be added e must not be equal to any other edge the graph (even if the graph allows edge-multiplicity). More formally, the graph must not contain any edge e2 such that e2.equals(e). If such e2 is found then the newly created edge e is abandoned, the method leaves this graph unchanged returns null.

      Specified by:
      addEdge in interface Graph<V,E>
      Parameters:
      sourceVertex - source vertex of the edge.
      targetVertex - target vertex of the edge.
      Returns:
      The newly created edge if added to the graph, otherwise null.

    • addEdge

      public boolean addEdge(V sourceVertex, V targetVertex, E e)
      Description copied from interface: Graph
      Adds the specified edge to this graph, going from the source vertex to the target vertex. More formally, adds the specified edge, e, to this graph if this graph contains no edge e2 such that e2.equals(e). If this graph already contains such an edge, the call leaves this graph unchanged and returns false. Some graphs do not allow edge-multiplicity. In such cases, if the graph already contains an edge from the specified source to the specified target, than this method does not change the graph and returns false. If the edge was added to the graph, returns true.

      The source and target vertices must already be contained in this graph. If they are not found in graph IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

      addEdge in interface Graph<V,E>
      Parameters:
      sourceVertex - source vertex of the edge.
      targetVertex - target vertex of the edge.
      e - edge to be added to this graph.

    • edgeSet

      public Set<E> edgeSet()
      Description copied from interface: Graph
      Returns a set of the edges contained in this graph. The set is backed by the graph, so changes to the graph are reflected in the set. If the graph is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined.

      The graph implementation may maintain a particular set ordering (e.g. via LinkedHashSet) for deterministic iteration, but this is not required. It is the responsibility of callers who rely on this behavior to only use graph implementations which support it.

      a set of the edges contained in this graph.

      If the specified vertex is null returns false.

      Specified by:
      removeVertex in interface Graph<V,E>
      Parameters:
