Module xl.impl
Package de.grogra.xl.impl.base

Interface Connector<N,P>

Type Parameters:
N - node type
P - parameter type
public interface Connector<N,P>
A Connector is used to specify a connection of a new node with a graph at a position which is given by an existing node in the graph. For example, the connector implementation could just redirect all edges from the existing node to the new node.

A connector is invoked as follows: At first, a connecting action has to be recorded in the connection queue by invocation of Producer.connect(N, N, P, de.grogra.xl.impl.base.Connector<N, P>). Afterwards, on queue application the connecting action is executed, which leads to the invocation of the connector.

      void connect(N from, N to, P param, GraphQueue queue)
      Establish the connection. This method is invoked by the connecting queue on queue application.
      Parameters:
      from - existing node in the graph
      to - new node which shall be connected with the graph
      param - some parameter for the connector (the same as the one passed to Producer.connect(N, N, P, de.grogra.xl.impl.base.Connector<N, P>))
      queue - connectding queue within which the connecting action has been recorded
