GraphBuilder (Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 27.1-jre API)

java.lang.Object
- com.google.common.graph.GraphBuilder<N>

Type Parameters:

N - The most general node type this builder will support. This is normally Object unless it is constrained by using a method like nodeOrder(com.google.common.graph.ElementOrder<N1>), or the builder is constructed based on an existing Graph using from(Graph).
```
@Beta
public final class GraphBuilder<N>
extends Object
```
A builder for constructing instances of MutableGraph with user-defined properties.
A graph built by this class will have the following properties by default:
- does not allow self-loops
- orders Graph.nodes() in the order in which the elements were added
Example of use:
```
 MutableGraph<String> graph = GraphBuilder.undirected().allowsSelfLoops(true).build();
 graph.putEdge("bread", "bread");
 graph.putEdge("chocolate", "peanut butter");
 graph.putEdge("peanut butter", "jelly");
 
```

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`GraphBuilder<N>`	`allowsSelfLoops(boolean allowsSelfLoops)` Specifies whether the graph will allow self-loops (edges that connect a node to itself).
`<N1 extends N> MutableGraph<N1>`	`build()` Returns an empty `MutableGraph` with the properties of this `GraphBuilder`.
`static GraphBuilder<Object>`	`directed()` Returns a `GraphBuilder` for building directed graphs.
`GraphBuilder<N>`	`expectedNodeCount(int expectedNodeCount)` Specifies the expected number of nodes in the graph.
`static <N> GraphBuilder<N>`	`from(Graph<N> graph)` Returns a `GraphBuilder` initialized with all properties queryable from `graph`.
`<N1 extends N> GraphBuilder<N1>`	`nodeOrder(ElementOrder<N1> nodeOrder)` Specifies the order of iteration for the elements of `Graph.nodes()`.
`static GraphBuilder<Object>`	`undirected()` Returns a `GraphBuilder` for building undirected graphs.

- Method Detail
  - directed
```
public static GraphBuilder<Object> directed()
```
    Returns a GraphBuilder for building directed graphs.
  - undirected
```
public static GraphBuilder<Object> undirected()
```
    Returns a GraphBuilder for building undirected graphs.
  - from
```
public static <N> GraphBuilder<N> from(Graph<N> graph)
```
    Returns a GraphBuilder initialized with all properties queryable from graph.
    The "queryable" properties are those that are exposed through the Graph interface, such as Graph.isDirected(). Other properties, such as expectedNodeCount(int), are not set in the new builder.
  - allowsSelfLoops
```
public GraphBuilder<N> allowsSelfLoops(boolean allowsSelfLoops)
```
    Specifies whether the graph will allow self-loops (edges that connect a node to itself). Attempting to add a self-loop to a graph that does not allow them will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.
  - expectedNodeCount
```
public GraphBuilder<N> expectedNodeCount(int expectedNodeCount)
```
    Specifies the expected number of nodes in the graph.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if expectedNodeCount is negative
  - nodeOrder
```
public <N1 extends N> GraphBuilder<N1> nodeOrder(ElementOrder<N1> nodeOrder)
```
    Specifies the order of iteration for the elements of Graph.nodes().
  - build
```
public <N1 extends N> MutableGraph<N1> build()
```
    Returns an empty MutableGraph with the properties of this GraphBuilder.
