public class Path
extends java.lang.Object

Represents a path leading through the syntax tree that connects two nodes. To instantiate this class use #getPathToTop(GraphNodenode) or #makePath(GraphNodestart_node,GraphNodeend_node).

static Path	getPathToTop(GraphNode node) This static method creates a path leading from the input node to the root node of the sentence.
static Path	getPathToTop(GraphNode node, int verbosity) This static method creates a path leading from the input node to the root node of the sentence.
GraphNode	getPrev() Returns the previous GraphNode in this Path relative to the current position of this Path (iteration based method).
int	getVerbosity() Gets the currently set level of verbosity of this instance.
boolean	hasNext() Checks if there are more GraphNodes available on this path after the current cursor position of this instance.
boolean	hasPrev() Checks if there are more GraphNodes available on this path before the current cursor position of this instance.
void	invert() Inverts this path by reversing the order of the nodes and re-setting their directions (UP --> DOWN; DOWN --> UP).
static Path	makePath(GraphNode start_node, GraphNode end_node) This static method returns the shortest path that connects the two nodes.

getPathToTop

public static final Path getPathToTop(GraphNode node)

This static method creates a path leading from the input node to the root node of the sentence. Use this method or #makePath(GraphNodestart_node,GraphNodeend_node) to instantiate this class.

Parameters:

node - The GraphNode to start the path from.

Returns:

A Path instance representing a path from node to the root node.

getPathToTop

public static final Path getPathToTop(GraphNode node,
                                      int verbosity)

This static method creates a path leading from the input node to the root node of the sentence. Use this method or #makePath(GraphNodestart_node,GraphNodeend_node) to instantiate this class.

Parameters:

node - The GraphNode to start the path from.

verbosity - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

A Path instance representing a path from node to the root node.

makePath

public static final Path makePath(GraphNode start_node,
                                  GraphNode end_node)

This static method returns the shortest path that connects the two nodes.

Parameters:

start_node - The first GraphNode to connect.

end_node - The second GraphNode to connect.

Returns:

A Path instance representing the shortest path between start_node and end_node

invert

public void invert()

Inverts this path by reversing the order of the nodes and re-setting their directions (UP --> DOWN; DOWN --> UP).

getPrev

public GraphNode getPrev()
