Graph

class Graph(isWeighted: Boolean = true) : BaseGraph<Any>

A graph data structure that supports nodes of any datatype.

Any new node is given an ID upon creation, which is used to build an adjacency list. The class maintains internal maps between ID's and nodes and vice versa.

Example usage:

val graph = Graph()
graph.addEdge("A", "B", 5.0)
graph.addEdge("A", "C", 2.0)
graph.addEdge("C", "B", 1.0)
graph.dijkstra("A", "B")
// NOTE: visualizeGraph() requires the smartgraph.css and smartgraph.properties files to be added to the root of your project.
graph.visualizeGraph() // Find the needed files here: https://github.com/Norskeaksel/GraphMateKT

Parameters

isWeighted

Indicates whether it uses weighted or unweighted edges. Traversal algorithms like BFS and DFS operate on unweighted graphs, while minimum cost algorithms like Dijkstra, Floyd Warshall and Prims are based on weighted edges

Functions

fun addEdge(node1: Any, node2: Any, weight: Number?)

Adds an edge between two nodes in the graph, and creates the nodes if they don't exist.

Link copied to clipboard
open override fun addNode(node: Any)

Adds the given node to the graph

Link copied to clipboard
fun bfs(startNode: Any, target: Any?, reset: Boolean)

Overload of fun bfs(startNodes: List, target: T?, reset: Boolean) that accepts a single starting node istead of a list

fun bfs(startNodes: List<Any>, target: Any?, reset: Boolean)

Performs a Breadth-First Search, which finds the shortest path from the starting node to all other nodes, assuming the graph is unweighted (all edges have a weight of 1.0) It stores results that can be retrieved with the following functions:

Link copied to clipboard
fun connect(node1: Any, node2: Any, weight: Number?)

Connects two nodes in the graph, by calling addEdge(node1,node2, weight) and addEdge(node2, node1, weight)

Link copied to clipboard
fun currentVisitedNodes(): List<Any>

Retrieves a list of all visited nodes on the order they were visited during the last search operation (DFS, BFS, Dijkstra).

Link copied to clipboard
fun depth(): Int

Retrieves the depth of the graph from the most recent search operation

Link copied to clipboard
fun dfs(startNode: Any, reset: Boolean)

Performs a Depth-First Search on the graph which finds all nodes that's reachable from the starting node it. It stores results that can be retrieved with the following functions:

Link copied to clipboard
fun dijkstra(startNode: Any, target: Any?)

Performs Dijkstra's algorithm, which finds the shortest path from the starting node to all other nodes. It stores results that can be retrieved with the following functions:

Link copied to clipboard
fun distanceFromUtoV(u: Any, v: Any): Double

Retrieves the shortest distance between two nodes in the graph.

Link copied to clipboard
fun distanceTo(node: Any): Double

Retrieves the distance to the specified node from the starting node of the most recent search operation (BFS, Dijkstra).

Link copied to clipboard
fun edges(t: Any): List<Pair<Double, Any>>

Retrieves a list of edges connected to the specified node.

Link copied to clipboard
fun finalPath(): List<Any>

Retrieves the shortest path from the start to target node path during the most recent search operation (DFS, BFS, Dijkstra)

Link copied to clipboard

Executes the Floyd-Warshall algorithm on the graph to compute the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes.

Link copied to clipboard
fun foundTarget(): Boolean

Checks if the target node was found during the most recent search operation (BFS, Dijkstra).

Link copied to clipboard
fun furthestNode(): Any

Retrieves the node that is the farthest from the starting node in the most recent search operation (BFS, Dijkstra).

Link copied to clipboard
fun getPath(target: Any): List<Any>

Retrieves the path from the starting node to the specified target node based on the most recent search results.

Link copied to clipboard
fun maxDistance(): Double

Retrieves the maximum distance from the starting node to any other node of the most recent search operation (BFS, Dijkstra).

Link copied to clipboard
fun minimumSpanningTree(): Pair<Double, Graph>

Computes the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) of the graph using Prim's algorithm.

Link copied to clipboard
fun neighbours(t: Any): List<Any>

Retrieves a list the neighboring nodes of the specified node.

Link copied to clipboard
open override fun nodes(): List<Any>
Link copied to clipboard
fun print(isWeighted: Boolean)

Prints the graph's adjacency list to the standard error stream.

Link copied to clipboard
fun removeEdge(node1: Any, node2: Any)

Removes the edge(s) between two nodes in the graph.

Link copied to clipboard

Clears the search results stored in the graph.

fun size(): Int
Link copied to clipboard
open fun stronglyConnectedComponents(): List<List<Any>>

Identifies groups where each node is reachable from every other node in the group.

Link copied to clipboard
open fun topologicalSort(): List<Any>

Builds an order of nodes so that the first nodes has no outgoing edges, then nodes with edges pointing to these and so on, assuming the graph is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This is done by running a DFS from each node and ordering the nodes by descending depth (post-order).

open override fun toString(): String
Link copied to clipboard
fun visitedNodes(): List<Any>

Retrieves a (unordered) list of all visited nodes during any non-reset search operation (DFS, BFS, Dijkstra).

Visualizes the graph with Bruno Silva's JavaFXSmartGraph library.
