Class HierarchicalBCEngine

java.lang.Object

weka.gui.graphvisualizer.HierarchicalBCEngine

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphConstants, LayoutEngine

public class HierarchicalBCEngine
extends java.lang.Object
implements GraphConstants, LayoutEngine

This class lays out the vertices of a graph in a hierarchy of vertical levels, with a number of nodes in each level. The number of levels is the depth of the deepest child reachable from some parent at level 0. It implements a layout technique as described by K. Sugiyama, S. Tagawa, and M. Toda. in "Methods for visual understanding of hierarchical systems", IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, SMC-11(2):109-125, Feb. 1981.

There have been a few modifications made, however. The crossings function is changed as it was non-linear in time complexity. Furthermore, we don't have any interconnection matrices for each level, instead we just have one big interconnection matrix for the whole graph and a int[][] array which stores the vertices present in each level.

Constructor Detail

HierarchicalBCEngine

public HierarchicalBCEngine(java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> nodes,
                            java.util.ArrayList<GraphEdge> edges,
                            int nodeWidth,
                            int nodeHeight)

Constructor - takes in FastVectors of nodes and edges, and the initial width and height of a node

HierarchicalBCEngine

public HierarchicalBCEngine(java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> nodes,
                            java.util.ArrayList<GraphEdge> edges,
                            int nodeWidth,
                            int nodeHeight,
                            boolean edgeConcentration)

Constructor - takes in FastVectors of nodes and edges, the initial width and height of a node, and a boolean value to indicate if the edges should be concentrated.

Parameters:

nodes - - FastVector containing all the nodes

edges - - FastVector containing all the edges

nodeWidth - - A node's allowed width

nodeHeight - - A node's allowed height

edgeConcentration - - True: if want to concentrate edges, False: otherwise

HierarchicalBCEngine

public HierarchicalBCEngine()

SimpleConstructor If we want to instantiate the class first, and if information for nodes and edges is not available. However, we would have to manually provide all the information later on by calling setNodesEdges and setNodeSize methods

Method Detail

getNodes

public java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> getNodes()

give access to set of graph nodes

Specified by:

getNodes in interface LayoutEngine

getControlPanel

public javax.swing.JPanel getControlPanel()

This method returns a handle to the extra controls panel, so that the visualizing class can add it to some of it's own gui panel.

Specified by:

getControlPanel in interface LayoutEngine

getProgressBar

public javax.swing.JProgressBar getProgressBar()

Returns a handle to the progressBar of this LayoutEngine.

Specified by:

getProgressBar in interface LayoutEngine

setNodesEdges

public void setNodesEdges(java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> nodes,
                          java.util.ArrayList<GraphEdge> edges)

Sets the nodes and edges for this LayoutEngine. Must be used if the class created by simple HierarchicalBCEngine() constructor.

Specified by:

setNodesEdges in interface LayoutEngine

Parameters:

nodes - - FastVector containing all the nodes

edges - - FastVector containing all the edges

setNodeSize

public void setNodeSize(int nodeWidth,
                        int nodeHeight)

Sets the size of a node. This method must be used if the class created by simple HierarchicalBCEngine() constructor.

Specified by:

setNodeSize in interface LayoutEngine

Parameters:

nodeWidth - - A node's allowed width

nodeHeight - - A node's allowed height

addLayoutCompleteEventListener

public void addLayoutCompleteEventListener(LayoutCompleteEventListener l)

Method to add a LayoutCompleteEventListener

Specified by:

addLayoutCompleteEventListener in interface LayoutEngine

Parameters:

l - - Listener to receive the LayoutCompleteEvent by this class.

removeLayoutCompleteEventListener

public void removeLayoutCompleteEventListener(LayoutCompleteEventListener e)

Method to remove a LayoutCompleteEventListener.

Specified by:

removeLayoutCompleteEventListener in interface LayoutEngine

Parameters:

e - - The LayoutCompleteEventListener to remove.

fireLayoutCompleteEvent

public void fireLayoutCompleteEvent(LayoutCompleteEvent e)

Fires a LayoutCompleteEvent.

Specified by:

fireLayoutCompleteEvent in interface LayoutEngine

layoutGraph

public void layoutGraph()

This method does a complete layout of the graph which includes removing cycles, assigning levels to nodes, reducing edge crossings and laying out the vertices horizontally for better visibility. The removing of cycles and assignment of levels is only performed if hasn't been performed earlier or if some layout option has been changed and it is necessary to do so. It is necessary to do so, if the user selects/deselects edge concentration or topdown/bottomup options.

The layout is performed in a separate thread and the progress bar of the class is updated for each of the steps as the process continues.

Specified by:

layoutGraph in interface LayoutEngine

phaseIU

public void phaseIU(int lindex,
                    int[][] levels)

See Sugiyama et al. 1981 (full reference give at top) lindex is the index of the level we want to process. In this method we'll sort the vertices at the level lindex according to their DOWN-barycenters (or row barycenters).

phaseIID

public void phaseIID(int lindex,
                     int[][] levels)
