Constructors
Creates a new CycleEdges instance.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- directed - boolean
A value indicating whether edge direction should be considered. This option sets the directed property on the created object.
- subgraphNodes - ItemCollection<INode>
The collection of nodes which define a subset of the graph for the algorithms to work on. This option sets the subgraphNodes property on the created object.
- subgraphEdges - ItemCollection<IEdge>
The collection of edges which define a subset of the graph for the algorithms to work on. This option sets the subgraphEdges property on the created object.
Properties
Gets or sets the collection of edges which define a subset of the graph for the algorithms to work on.
Remarks
If nothing is set, all edges of the graph will be processed.
If only the excludes are set all edges in the graph except those provided in the excludes are processed.
Note that edges which start or end at nodes which are not in the subgraphNodes are automatically not considered by the algorithm.
ItemCollection<T> instances may be shared among algorithm instances and will be (re-)evaluated upon (re-)execution of the algorithm.
Examples
// prepare the cycle detection algorithm
const algorithm = new Cycle({
// We are only interested in finding directed cycles
directed: true,
// Ignore edges without target arrow heads
subgraphEdges: {
excludes: (edge) =>
edge.style instanceof PolylineEdgeStyle &&
edge.style.targetArrow === IArrow.NONE
}
})
// run the algorithm
const result = algorithm.run(graph)
// highlight the cycle
for (const edge of result.edges) {
graph.setStyle(edge, highlightCycleStyle)
}// prepare the cycle detection algorithm
const algorithm = new Cycle({
// We are only interested in finding directed cycles
directed: true,
// Ignore edges without target arrow heads
subgraphEdges: {
excludes: (edge: IEdge): boolean =>
edge.style instanceof PolylineEdgeStyle &&
edge.style.targetArrow === IArrow.NONE
}
})
// run the algorithm
const result = algorithm.run(graph)
// highlight the cycle
for (const edge of result.edges) {
graph.setStyle(edge, highlightCycleStyle)
}Gets or sets the collection of nodes which define a subset of the graph for the algorithms to work on.

}Methods
Finds all edges that are part of at least one directed or undirected simple cycle.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- graph - IGraph
- The input graph to run the algorithm on.
Returns
- ↪CycleEdgesResult
- A CycleEdgesResult with all edges that are part of at least one cycle in the graph.
Throws
- Exception({ name: 'InvalidOperationError' })
- If the algorithm can't create a valid result due to an invalid graph structure or wrongly configured properties.
