Class GraphScene<N,E>

java.lang.Object
  org.netbeans.api.visual.widget.Widget
      org.netbeans.api.visual.widget.Scene
          org.netbeans.api.visual.model.ObjectScene
              org.netbeans.api.visual.graph.GraphScene<N,E>

Direct Known Subclasses:: GraphScene.StringGraph

public abstract class GraphScene<N,E>
extends ObjectScene
extends ObjectScene

This class holds and manages graph-oriented model.

In comparison with the GraphScene class, in this class the graph consists of nodes and edges. Each edge could be attach to a single source and target node.

The class is abstract and manages only data model and mapping with widgets. The graphics (widgets) has to be supplied by a developer by overriding the attachNodeWidget, attachEdgeWidget, attachEdgeSourceAnchor and attachEdgeTargetAnchor abstract methods.

This class is using generics and allows you to specify type representation for nodes and edges in the graph model. Example:

 class MyGraph extends GraphScene<MyNode, MyEdge> { ... }

Since the type of nodes and edges could be the same, all node and edge instances has to be unique within the whole scene.

Node and Edge should not be a Widget. It should work properly but in that case the ObjectScene class is loosing its purpose because there is no need to manage a mapping of an instance to the same instance.
