public interface Edge
extends Tuple

Tuple sub-interface that represents an edge in a graph structure. Each edge has both a source node and a target node. For directed edges, this distinction indicates the directionality of the edge. For undirected edges this distinction merely reflects the underlying storage of the nodes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Node	getAdjacentNode(Node n) Given a Node upon which this Edge is incident, the opposite incident Node is returned.
Graph	getGraph() Returns the graph of which this Edge is a member.
Node	getSourceNode() Returns the first, or source, node upon which this Edge is incident.
Node	getTargetNode() Returns the second, or target, node upon which this Edge is incident.
boolean	isDirected() Indicates if this edge is directed or undirected.

Method Detail

getGraph

Graph getGraph()

Returns the graph of which this Edge is a member.

Returns:

the Graph containing this Edge

isDirected

boolean isDirected()

Indicates if this edge is directed or undirected.

Returns:

true if directed, false if undirected.

getSourceNode

Node getSourceNode()

Returns the first, or source, node upon which this Edge is incident.

Returns:

the source Node

getTargetNode

Node getTargetNode()

Returns the second, or target, node upon which this Edge is incident.

Returns:

the source Node

getAdjacentNode

Node getAdjacentNode(Node n)

Given a Node upon which this Edge is incident, the opposite incident Node is returned. Throws an exception if the input node is not incident on this Edge.

Parameters:

n - a Node upon which this Edge is incident

Returns:

the other Node touched by this Edge
