public interface GeneralGraph<T extends Node> extends Iterable<T>
The `GeneralGraph` interface represents a general structure for graphs where each graph consists of nodes and edges. This interface provides methods for retrieving nodes, edges, and subgraphs (restrictions of the graph).

The `GeneralGraph` interface is parameterized with the type `T`, which extends `Node`. This allows for flexibility in defining different types of graphs with specific types of nodes.

  • Method Details

    • getRestriction

      GeneralGraph<T> getRestriction(Collection<T> nodes)
      Returns a copy of this graph that contains only the specified nodes and all corresponding edges between them.

      This method generates a subgraph (or restricted graph) from the current graph by including only the given nodes and the edges that connect them. The returned graph is a new instance and does not modify the original graph.

      Parameters:
      nodes - a collection of nodes to be included in the restricted graph.
      Returns:
      a `GeneralGraph` object representing the restricted graph.

    • getNodes

      Collection<T> getNodes()
      Returns the nodes of this graph.

      This method retrieves all nodes that are part of the current graph.

      Returns:
      a collection of nodes in the graph.

    • getEdges

      Collection<? extends GeneralEdge<? extends T>> getEdges()
      Returns the edges of this graph.

      This method retrieves all edges that are part of the current graph. The edges returned are of the type `GeneralEdge`, which is parameterized by the type of nodes in the graph.

      Returns:
      a collection of edges in the graph.
