All Implemented Interfaces:

Graph

Direct Known Subclasses:

MultiUnion

public abstract class Polyadic

extends CompositionBase

A base class for composition graphs that are composed from zero or more sub-graphs (thus providing a basis for polyadic composition operators). A distinguished graph is the designated graph for additions to the union. By default, this is the first sub-graph of the composition, however any of the graphs in the composition can be nominated to be the distinguished graph.

Constructor Detail

Polyadic

public Polyadic()

Construct a composition of exactly no sub graphs.

Polyadic

public Polyadic(Graph[] graphs)

Construct a composition of all of the given graphs

Parameters:

graphs - An array of the sub-graphs of this composition

Polyadic

public Polyadic(java.util.Iterator graphs)

Construct a composition of all of the given graphs.

Parameters:

graphs - An iterator of the sub-graphs of this composition. If graphs is a closable iterator, it will be automatically closed.

Method Detail

capabilities

public int capabilities()

Answer the capabilities that this graph has.

Returns:

The capability mask

See Also:

Graph.capabilities()

close

public void close()

Close the graph by closing all of the sub-graphs.

See Also:

Graph.close()

dependsOn

public boolean dependsOn(Graph graph)

Answer true if this graph contains the given graph as a sub-component.

Parameters:

graph - A graph to test

Returns:

True if the graph is this graph, or is a sub-graph of this one.

See Also:

Graph.dependsOn(Graph)

addGraph

public void addGraph(Graph graph)

Add the given graph to this composition.

Parameters:

graph - A sub-graph to add to this composition

removeGraph

public void removeGraph(Graph graph)

Remove the given graph from this composition. If the removed graph is the designated updateable graph, the updatable graph goes back to the default for this composition.

Parameters:

graph - A sub-graph to remove from this composition

getBaseGraph

public Graph getBaseGraph()

Answer the distinguished graph for the composition, which will be the graph that receives triple adds and deletes.

Returns:

The distinguished updateable graph, or null if there are no graphs in this composition

setBaseGraph

public void setBaseGraph(Graph graph)

Set the designated updateable graph for this composition.

Parameters:

graph - One of the graphs currently in this composition to be the designated graph to receive udpates

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if graph is not one of the members of the composition

getSubGraphs

public java.util.List getSubGraphs()

Answer a list of the graphs other than the updateable (base) graph

Returns:

A list of all of the sub-graphs, excluding the base graph.
