Pandora
Class Model

public class Model

This class is a base class for all the models ( algorithms ) that a user will want to implement. Any class that is designed to be a network - topology generating algorithm has to extend this class.

The user that wants to implement his/her own algorithm has to write code for what happens when a new node comes in the graph ( that is in the method addNode.

In the source code of the pandora generator one can find many examples of network - topology genarating algorithms.

Model

public Model()

Class constructor.

Model

public Model(java.lang.String name)

Class constructor.

Parameters:

name - String : The name of the model. Recomended to use this constructor.

getNodes

public java.util.Vector getNodes()

Returns a vector containing the nodes that have been generated by the algorithm.

Returns:

Vector : the nodes in the Vector are of type GraphNode

getEdges

public java.util.Vector getEdges()

returns a vector that contains the edges that have been generated by the algorithm.

Returns:

Vector : the edges in the Vector are of type GraphEdge

showOptWindow

public void showOptWindow()

Initializes and shows the window containing the variables of the graph.

updateModelVars

public void updateModelVars()

When the window containing the variables is closed, this method is responsible for updating the model variables.

reset

public void reset()

Resets all the progress that the algorithm has made in constructing the graph.

getMaxDegree

public int getMaxDegree()

Returns the max degree of the graph.

Returns:

int : The max degree of the graph.

createVertex

public Pandora.GraphNode createVertex(int i)

Creates a GraphNode object.

Parameters:

i - int : the creation order of the GraphNode.

Returns:

GraphNode

addNode

public void addNode(int i)

This method is implemented by the user that wishes to make a new algorithm. This method is used to connect a node to the graph. Again the user is encouraged to look at the many examples of the algorithms that are in the source code of pandora generator to understand how to implement an algorithm.

Parameters:

i - int : the creation order of the node.
