Detailed Description

SinglePairShortestPath class.

Classes implementing this abstract class solve the shortest path problem in a graph from a given source node and to a given destination node.

Member Function Documentation

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.add_all_edge_types	(		self,
			dir
	)

Allows for traversing all edge types of the graph.

Parameters

dir	[in] Edge direction.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.add_edge_type	(		self,
			type,
			dir
	)

Allows for traversing edges of the given type.

Parameters

type	[in] Edge type.
dir	[in] Edge direction.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.add_node_type	(		self,
			type
	)

Allows for traversing nodes of the given type.

Parameters

type

null

def sparksee.ShortestPath.close (   self )

inherited

Closes the ShortestPath instance.

It must be called to ensure the integrity of all data.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.exclude_edges	(		self,
			edges
	)

Set which edges can't be used.

This will replace any previously specified set of excluded edges. Should only be used to exclude the usage of specific edges from allowed edge types because it's less efficient than not allowing an edge type.

Parameters

edges

[in] A set of edge identifiers that must be kept intact until the destruction of the class.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.exclude_nodes	(		self,
			nodes
	)

Set which nodes can't be used.

This will replace any previously specified set of excluded nodes. Should only be used to exclude the usage of specific nodes from allowed node types because it's less efficient than not allowing a node type.

Parameters

nodes

[in] A set of node identifiers that must be kept intact until the destruction of the class.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.get_cost

(

self

)

Gets the cost of the shortest path.

The cost for unweighted algorithms is the number of hops of the shortest path. For weighted algoritms, the cost is the sum of the costs of the edges of the shortest path.

Returns

The cost of the shortest path.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.get_path_as_edges

(

self

)

Gets the shortest path between the source node and the destination node as an ordered set of edges.

Returns

Ordered set of edge identifiers.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.get_path_as_nodes

(

self

)

Gets the shortest path between the source node and the destination node as an ordered set of nodes.

Returns

Ordered set of node identifiers.

def sparksee.ShortestPath.is_closed (   self )

inherited

Gets if ShortestPath has been closed or not.

See also

close()

Returns

TRUE if the ShortestPath instance has been closed, FALSE otherwise.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.run

(

self

)

Runs the algorithm.

This method can only be called once.

def sparksee.SinglePairShortestPath.set_maximum_hops	(		self,
			maxhops
	)

Sets the maximum hops restriction.

All paths longer than the maximum hops restriction will be ignored.

Parameters

maxhops

[in] The maximum hops restriction. It must be positive or zero. Zero, the default value, means unlimited.
