Class AStar.DistanceCosts

java.lang.Object

org.graphstream.algorithm.AStar.DistanceCosts

All Implemented Interfaces:

AStar.Costs

Enclosing class:

AStar

public static class AStar.DistanceCosts
extends Object
implements AStar.Costs

An implementation of the Costs interface that assume that the weight of edges is an Euclidean distance in 2D or 3D. No weight attribute is used. Instead, for the G value, the edge weights are used. For the H value the Euclidean distance in 2D or 3D between the current node and the target node is used. For this Costs implementation to work, the graph nodes must have a position (either individual "x", "y" and "z" attribute, or "xy" attribute or even "xyz" attributes. If there are only "x" and "y" or "xy" attribute this works in 2D, else the third coordinate is taken into account.

Method Detail

heuristic

public double heuristic(org.graphstream.graph.Node node,
               org.graphstream.graph.Node target)

Description copied from interface: AStar.Costs

Estimate cost from the given node to the target node.

Specified by:

heuristic in interface AStar.Costs

Parameters:

node - A node.

target - The target node.

Returns:

The estimated cost between a node and a target node.

cost

public double cost(org.graphstream.graph.Node parent,
          org.graphstream.graph.Edge edge,
          org.graphstream.graph.Node next)

Description copied from interface: AStar.Costs

Cost of displacement from parent to next. The next node must be directly connected to parent, or -1 is returned.

Specified by:

cost in interface AStar.Costs

Parameters:

parent - The node we come from.

edge - The definition of an heuristic. The heuristic is in charge of evaluating The edge used between the two nodes (in case this is a multi-graph).

next - The node we go to.

Returns:

The real cost of moving from parent to next, or -1 if next is not directly connected to parent by an edge.
