Enum Constant Summary

IMMEDIATE
The two matches may be merged immediately (using Match.merge(Match, Map, Map, MonitorPack)) with no further checks.

NONE
The two matches cannot be merged.

OUTER
The two matches may be merged in the future (appropriate matches containing these two matches may be merged), but not immediately (they have no common vertices).

Method Summary

static Match.Candidacy	valueOf(java.lang.String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static Match.Candidacy[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

OUTER

public static final Match.Candidacy OUTER

The two matches may be merged in the future (appropriate matches containing these two matches may be merged), but not immediately (they have no common vertices). They are 'outer' merge candidates for each other.

IMMEDIATE

public static final Match.Candidacy IMMEDIATE

The two matches may be merged immediately (using Match.merge(Match, Map, Map, MonitorPack)) with no further checks. They are merge candidates for each other.

NONE

public static final Match.Candidacy NONE

The two matches cannot be merged. This can be because:

• they cover intersecting parts of the pattern;
• their matched subgraphs intersect;
• common vertices in the pattern do not have the same correspondent in the graph.

Method Detail

values

public static Match.Candidacy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Match.Candidacy c : Match.Candidacy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Match.Candidacy valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
