Class GeneralEdgeAcceptFilter

java.lang.Object

edu.uci.ics.jung.graph.filters.GeneralEdgeAcceptFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

Direct Known Subclasses:

EdgePredicateFilter, WeightedEdgeGraphFilter

public abstract class GeneralEdgeAcceptFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements Filter

Abstract class that implements a generic filter for accepting arbitrary edges (and all vertices). To use it, subclass this and override acceptEdge. This is compatible with both EfficientFilter; in order to use it as such, make sure to label your class as an EfficientFilter with implements EfficientFilter.

Sample code

        // Returns a version of the graph that only has blue edges.
        class OnlyBlueEdgeFilter extends GeneralEdgeAcceptFilter 
                implements EfficientFilter {
 
                // BlueChecker is a helper class that I've implemented somewhere else
                boolean acceptEdge( Edge e ) {
                        return BlueChecker.checkBlue( e );
                }
 }

Method Detail

acceptEdge

public abstract boolean acceptEdge(Edge edge)

Determines whether the current edge should be accepted into the Graph. User should override this method.

Parameters:

edge - the input edge that is being evaluated.

Returns:

whether the edge should be accepted or not

filter

public UnassembledGraph filter(Graph g)

Returns an UnassembledGraph with the subset of edges that pass acceptEdge.

Specified by:

filter in interface Filter

Parameters:

g - A Graph to be filtered.

Returns:

An UnassembledGraph containing the subset of g that pass the filter.

See Also:

Filter.filter(Graph)

filter

public UnassembledGraph filter(UnassembledGraph ug)

Returns an UnassembledGraph with the subset of edges that pass acceptEdge. This method is used only if this class implements EfficientFilter, and, in fact, it contains a runtime check to ensure that the subclass has been labelled correctly.

Parameters:

ug - An UnassembledGraph containing a subset of vertices and edges from an original graph.

Returns:

An UnassembledGraph containing the subset of ug that pass the filter.

EfficientFilter.filter(UnassembledGraph)
