Method Detail

writeLists

public boolean writeLists(java.lang.String bandId,
                          int depth,
                          int minFriends,
                          Gui theGui)

converts the dto's of the linked list in nodes and edges. We have chosen arrays for storing each list cause this male it easier to use each list. i.E. We don't have to iterate through each edgeoutlist of a node to get it's friends in the layout and in the view class.

Parameters:

bandId - the user selected targetband from the gui

depth - one level or two

minFriends - the minimum amount of friends a band needs to get involved into the calculation

Returns:

true if everything went right, false if an error has occured

getDTO

public java.util.LinkedList<DTO_BandnameWithFList> getDTO(java.lang.String bandId,
                                                          int minFriends,
                                                          int depth,
                                                          Gui theGui)

Returns:

The LinkedList with the targetband incl. it's friends, names, id's etc...

getNodeList

public BassNodeList[] getNodeList()

Returns:

the complete BassNodeListArray with all BassNodes(Bands).

getEdgeList

public BassEdgeList[] getEdgeList()

Returns:

the complete BassEdgeListArray with all BassEdges(edges between bands).
