Trying to extend Gelly Graph

Question

I'm trying to extend a Gelly Graph into a Graph with edges with Tuple5 instead of Tuple 3. This is not possible by extending a gelly Graph since the constructor is private. I went ahead and made my own Edge class that extends Tuple5 instead of Tuple 3 but i'm unsure if i can easily make it into a gelly Graph at this point since the API points to tuple3 or tuple2 for edge sets.

The question is if this can be done more easily or if it's possible at all what i want to do

Answer 1

Gelly algorithms won't be able to use information in the Tuple5 edge in any case. If you want to use them in your user-defined-functions, you can instead use a regular Edge class and store your data (of arbitrary type) in these edges:

Edge<Long, Double> e = new Edge<Long, Double>(1L, 2L, 0.5);

Here 1L and 2L are ids of vertices, and 0.5 is an arbitrary data associated with this edge.

If you want to graph algorithms to use use data in these Tuple5 edges you will have to implement your own graph algorithms.
