Method Summary
`void` | `generateGraph(Graph<V,E> target, VertexFactory<V> vertexFactory, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,T> resultMap)` Generate a graph structure.

Method Detail

### generateGraph

    void generateGraph(Graph<V,E> target,
                       VertexFactory<V> vertexFactory,
                       java.util.Map<java.lang.String,T> resultMap)

  Generate a graph structure. The topology of the generated graph is dependent on the implementation. For graphs in which not all vertices share the same automorphism equivalence class, the generator may produce a labeling indicating the roles played by generated elements. This is the purpose of the resultMap parameter. For example, a generator for a wheel graph would designate a hub vertex. Role names used as keys in resultMap should be declared as public static final Strings by implementation classes.

  Parameters:
    `target` - receives the generated edges and vertices; if this is non-empty on entry, the result will be a disconnected graph since generated elements will not be connected to existing elements
    `vertexFactory` - called to produce new vertices
    `resultMap` - if non-null, receives implementation-specific mappings from String roles to graph elements (or collections of graph elements)
