Interface BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy<S extends Signature<? extends Control<?,?>>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

PureBigraphBuilder.Hierarchy

Enclosing interface:

BigraphBuilder<S extends Signature<?>>

public static interface BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy<S extends Signature<? extends Control<?,?>>>

A BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy contains a collection of nodes in a tree structure and is related to the current BigraphBuilder instance.

It is responsible for keeping nodes together as one atomic unit of the place graph. Several methods are provided for adding nodes and sites.

Can only be used with the BigraphBuilder instance which created it.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	addChild(String controlName)
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	addChild(String controlName, String outerName)	Creates a child node for the current node hierarchy with the given control label and connects it automatically to the given outer name.
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	addChild(String controlName, BigraphEntity.OuterName outerName)
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	addChild(Control control)
default BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy<S>	addChild(Control controlName, String outerName)
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	addSite()	Adds a site to the current parent.
<B extends Bigraph<S>> B	createBigraph()
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	down()	Creates a new hierarchy builder where the last created node is the parent of this new hierarchy.
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	top()	Place the cursor to the top most element of the hierarchy.
BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy	up()	Place the cursor one level up from the current position.

Method Details

addChild

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy addChild(Control control)

addChild

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy addChild(String controlName)

addChild

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy addChild(String controlName,
 String outerName)
                               throws InvalidConnectionException,
LinkTypeNotExistsException

Creates a child node for the current node hierarchy with the given control label and connects it automatically to the given outer name. The outer name is automatically created if it doesn't exists.

Parameters:

controlName - the control of the newly created node.

outerName - the outer name to connect the newly created node

Returns:

the same node hierarchy instance

Throws:

InvalidConnectionException

LinkTypeNotExistsException

addChild

default BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy<S> addChild(Control controlName,
 String outerName)
                                          throws InvalidConnectionException,
LinkTypeNotExistsException

Throws:

InvalidConnectionException

LinkTypeNotExistsException

addChild

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy addChild(String controlName,
 BigraphEntity.OuterName outerName)
                               throws InvalidConnectionException,
TypeNotExistsException

Throws:

InvalidConnectionException

TypeNotExistsException

addSite

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy addSite()

Adds a site to the current parent.

An ControlIsAtomicException is thrown if the parent's control is atomic.

Returns:

adds a site to the current parent

• ControlIsAtomicException

down

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy down()
                           throws ControlIsAtomicException

Creates a new hierarchy builder where the last created node is the parent of this new hierarchy.

One can go to the previous hierarchy by calling the up() method.

Returns:

the new hierarchy

Throws:

ControlIsAtomicException

up

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy up()

Place the cursor one level up from the current position.

Returns:

the same hierarchy

top

BigraphBuilder.NodeHierarchy top()

Place the cursor to the top most element of the hierarchy.

Returns:

the same hierarchy

createBigraph

<B extends Bigraph<S>> B createBigraph()
