Interface GraphGenerator

public interface GraphGenerator

Graph generators generate graphs of various types.

A graph generator should get an empty class Graph, and create a graph. Generators could be parametrized, and the most probable way that the graph generator will work is this way. For instance, a generator which creates a complete graph will ask for the number of vertices as a parameter, and then create a complete graph.

Graph generators are shown on bottom of the submenu "New".
