Method Detail

generate

public abstract void generate(GraphControl gc)

This method will do the work of actually creating the graph.

Parameters:

gc - the instance of GraphControl inwhich the graph will be generated

setView

public void setView(java.lang.String nodeView,
                    java.lang.String edgeView)

Set the glyph style for the generated graph

Parameters:

nodeView - node view style

edgeView - edge view style

addRandomNode

protected GraphControl.Node addRandomNode(GraphControl.Cluster root,
                                          boolean threeD)

Create a randomly coloured, randomly positioned node with the default style

Parameters:

root - cluster to add the node to

threeD - use 3D positions

Returns:

the new node

getNodeView

protected java.lang.String getNodeView()

Get the NodeView style

Returns:

getEdgeView

protected java.lang.String getEdgeView()
