Constructor Detail

BIFParser

public BIFParser(java.lang.String input,
                 java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> nodes,
                 java.util.ArrayList<GraphEdge> edges)

Constructor (if our input is a String)

Parameters:

input - the string to be parsed (should not be null)

nodes - vector containing GraphNode objects (should be empty)

edges - vector containing GraphEdge objects (should be empty)

BIFParser

public BIFParser(java.io.InputStream instream,
                 java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> nodes,
                 java.util.ArrayList<GraphEdge> edges)

Constructor (if our input is an InputStream)

Parameters:

instream - the InputStream to be parsed (should not be null)

nodes - vector containing GraphNode objects (should be empty)

edges - vector containing GraphEdge objects (should be empty)

Method Detail

parse

public java.lang.String parse()
                       throws java.lang.Exception

This method parses the string or the InputStream that we passed in through the constructor and builds up the m_nodes and m_edges vectors

Returns:

returns the name of the graph

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if both the inString and inStream are null, i.e. no input has been provided

BIFFormatException - if there is format of the input is not correct. The format should conform to XMLBIF version 0.3

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if there is an invalid char in the probability table of a node.

writeXMLBIF03

public static void writeXMLBIF03(java.lang.String filename,
                                 java.lang.String graphName,
                                 java.util.ArrayList<GraphNode> nodes,
                                 java.util.ArrayList<GraphEdge> edges)

This method writes a graph in XMLBIF ver. 0.3 format to a file. However, if is reloaded in GraphVisualizer we would need to layout the graph again to display it correctly.

Parameters:

filename - The name of the file to write in. (will overwrite)

graphName - The name of the graph. (will be the name of network tag in XMLBIF)

nodes - Vector containing all the nodes

edges - Vector containing all the edges
