In this tutorial, we will show you how to use properties with subgraphs, how to deal with properties in a big hierarchy. To do so, we will create a graph with some properties, several subgraphs with other properties and iterate over local and inherited properties.
We will first begin with the creation of the graph and its properties :
int main() {
//create an empty graph
Graph *graph=tlp::newGraph();
//build the graph
buildGraph(graph);
//Get and create several properties
BooleanProperty *select=graph->getLocalProperty<BooleanProperty>("firstSelection");
graph->getLocalProperty<ColorProperty>("firstColors");
graph->getLocalProperty<DoubleProperty>("firstMetric");
//init the selection in order to use it for building clone subgraph
select->setAllNodeValue(true);
select->setAllEdgeValue(true);
The function void buildGraph(Graph *g), is the one implemented in Tutorial 004.
In the sample of code above, we create a graph with 3 properties : firstSelection (select), fisrtColors and firstMetric. We then set all nodes and edges "firstSelection" associated value to true which means that all nodes and edges are selected.
We, then, create two subgraphs out of our selection (the entire graph) :
//Create a hierarchy of subgraph (they all own the same elements)
Graph *subgraph1=graph->addSubGraph(select);
Graph *subgraph2=subgraph1->addSubGraph(select);
And, to finish this section, we add some new properties to those two subgraphs :
//create a property in subgraph1 (redefinition of the one defined in graph)
subgraph1->getLocalProperty<DoubleProperty>("firstMetric");
//create a new property in subgraph1
subgraph1->getLocalProperty<DoubleProperty>("secondMetric");
//create a new property in subgraph3
subgraph2->getLocalProperty<DoubleProperty>("thirdMetric");
The property "firstMetric" will be redefined but not the two other ones.
A good way to see what we have created is to iterate over the local properties of subgraph1 and in a second time iterate over inherited properties.
Following is a sample and its output that enables the iteration over local properties :
cout << "List of the local properties present in the subgraph1:" << endl;
Iterator<string> *it=subgraph1->getLocalProperties();
while (it->hasNext()) {
cout << it->next() << endl;
} delete it;

[root@atlas tutorial-005]# ./tutorial
List of the local properties present in the subgraph1:
firstMetric
secondMetric
As you can see the only local properties that has subgraph1 are "firstMetric" and "secondMetric". Indeed, "firstMetric" has been redefined, and, "thirdMetric" has been created with subgraph2.
Following is a sample and its output that enables the iteration over inherited properties :
cout << "List of the inherited properties present in the subgraph1:" << endl;
it=subgraph1->getInheritedProperties();
while (it->hasNext()) {
cout << it->next() << endl;
} delete it;
_________________________________________________________________________
List of the local properties present in the subgraph1:
firstColors
firstSelection
As you can see, subgraph1 just has two inherited properties since "firstMetric" has been redefined.
Following is a sample of code that lists all the properties of a graph, the inherited properties and local properties :
cout << "List of properties present in the subgraph1:" << endl;
it=subgraph1->getProperties();
while (it->hasNext()) {
cout << it->next() << endl;
} delete it;
_________________________________________________________________________
List of properties present in the subgraph1:
firstMetric
secondMetric
firstColors
firstSelection
As we did with subgraph1, we will now iterate over the local properties of subgraph2 in a first time and in a second time iterate over its inherited properties.
Following is a sample and its output that enables the iteration over local properties :
cout << "List of the local properties present in the subgraph2:" << endl;
it=subgraph2->getLocalProperties();
while (it->hasNext()) {
cout << it->next() << endl;
} delete it;

[root@atlas tutorial-005]# ./tutorial
List of the local properties present in the subgraph2:
thirdMetric
The only local properties that has subgraph1 is thirdMetric.
Following is a sample and its output that enables the iteration over inherited properties :
cout << "List of the inherited properties present in the subgraph2:" << endl;
it=subgraph2->getInheritedProperties();
while (it->hasNext()) {
cout << it->next() << endl;
} delete it;
_________________________________________________________________________
List of the local properties present in the subgraph2:
firstColors
firstMetric
firstSelection
secondMetric
As you can see, subgraph2 has a lot of inherited properties since he is the subgraph of subgraph1 which is the subgraph of the root graph.
