Method Detail

getPartnerOf

TreeNode getPartnerOf(TreeNode node)

Gets the opposite of the given node in this connection. Thus, if this connection connects A and B: getPartnerOf (A) = B, and getPartnerOf (B) = A.

Parameters:

node - the node

Returns:

the partner of

getTreeA

TreeNode getTreeA()

Gets the corresponding node in tree a.

Returns:

the node in tree a

getTreeB

TreeNode getTreeB()

Gets the corresponding node in tree b.

Returns:

the node in tree b

setWeight

void setWeight(double w)

Sets the weight of that connection. Thus, connections can be weighted differently.

Parameters:

w - the new weight

getWeight

double getWeight()

Gets the weight of that connection.

Returns:

the weight

scaleWeight

void scaleWeight(double s)

Scales the weight with an factor s.

Parameters:

s - the factor used to scale the weight

addWeight

void addWeight(double s)

Adds (+) a weight to the connection's weight.

Parameters:

s - the s
