Public Member Functions

PropertyAlgorithm (const tlp::PropertyContext &context)
Builds a new plug-in that modifies a single property.
virtual ~PropertyAlgorithm ()
virtual bool run ()
Runs the algorithm. It is a good practice to report progress through the PluginProgress, Even if your algorithm is very fast. Keep in mind that Tulip can handle very large graphs. The PluginProgress should also be used to report errors, if any.
virtual bool check (std::string &errorMessage)
Checks whether the algorithm can ru on this Graph or not. If not, the reason why should be reported through the PluginProgress.
bool preservePropertyUpdates (PropertyInterface *prop)

Detailed Description

This base class describes plug-ins who only modify one property, e.g. selection.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

tlp::PropertyAlgorithm::PropertyAlgorithm ( const tlp::PropertyContext & context ) [inline]

Builds a new plug-in that modifies a single property.

Parameters:

context

The context containing the Graph and PropertyInterface this plug-in has access to,a s well as a PluginProgress.

virtual tlp::PropertyAlgorithm::~PropertyAlgorithm ( ) [inline, virtual]

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool tlp::PropertyAlgorithm::check ( std::string & errorMessage ) [inline, virtual]

Checks whether the algorithm can ru on this Graph or not. If not, the reason why should be reported through the PluginProgress.

Parameters:

errorMessage

A string whose value will be modified to an error message, if the check fails.

Returns:: bool Whether the plug-in can run on this Graph.

bool tlp::PropertyAlgorithm::preservePropertyUpdates ( PropertyInterface * prop ) [inline]

virtual bool tlp::PropertyAlgorithm::run ( ) [inline, virtual]

Runs the algorithm. It is a good practice to report progress through the PluginProgress, Even if your algorithm is very fast. Keep in mind that Tulip can handle very large graphs. The PluginProgress should also be used to report errors, if any.

Returns:: bool Whether the algorithm execution was sucessfull or not.
