Class AStarResult<NODE>

java.lang.Object

cz.cuni.amis.utils.astar.AStarResult<NODE>

Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public class AStarResult<NODE>
extends Object

This class is returned by AStar.aStar(). It contains results from the search as well as method for finding the path from the startNode to the goalNode. It contains all data structures the AStar is using during the work. Everything is made public here so that AStar (during work) and you (for browsing the results) may use it.

Use amis-path-finding library instead, see svn://artemis.ms.mff.cuni.cz/pogamut/trunk/project/Utils/AmisPathFinding

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getCostToNode(NODE node) Deprecated. Returns cost of the path from startNode to node if the node was touched by A* algorithm (if A* was successful, then this always contains the goalNode and every node on the path).
int	getDistanceToGoal() Deprecated. If the AStar succeeded then it returns the distance to the goal.
int	getEstimatedCostToNode(NODE node) Deprecated. Returns estimated cost of the path from startNode to goal through node.
List<NODE>	getPath() Deprecated. Returns the path from startNode to goalNode.
NODE	getPreviousNode(NODE node) Deprecated. Used by getPath() method when creating a list of nodes (the path) from startNode to goalNode.
void	putCostToNode(NODE node, Integer cost) Deprecated. Assing cost of the path from startNode to node.
void	putEstimatedCostToNode(NODE node, Integer cost) Deprecated. Assing estimated cost of the path from startNode to goalNode through node.
void	putPreviousNode(NODE node, NODE previous) Deprecated. Assing 'previous' as an previous node for 'node' (the path from 'startNode' to 'node' goes across 'previous').

Field Detail

previousNode

public HashMap<NODE,NODE> previousNode

Deprecated.

Used by getPath() and filled by A* algorithm (AStar.aStar()). Keys are nodes and values are 'parent-nodes' (from where we've come to the key node on the path from startNode to key-node).

openList

public Collection<NODE> openList

Deprecated.

List of nodes which is opened -> was touched by the algorithm and are subjects of examination. Initialized by AStar.aStar()

closeList

public Collection<NODE> closeList

Deprecated.

Nodes which were examined by the algoritm. At the end of work of AStar contains all the nodes which were examined. If AStar successful -> at least contains nodes on the shortest path from startNode to goalNode.

pathCost

public HashMap<NODE,Integer> pathCost

Deprecated.

Used and filled by A* algorithm (AStar.aStar()). Here we store the real cost from the startNode to the 'key'.

estimatedCost

public HashMap<NODE,Integer> estimatedCost

Deprecated.

Used and filled by A* alorithm (AStar.aStar()). Here we store estimated cost of the path from 'key' to the goal.

interations

public long interations

Deprecated.

Contains the number of iterations made by A* search. One iteration means evaluating of the one node ("touching" each of the neighbours) Is 0-based ... if startGoal == goalNode or startGoal then this will be 0.

startNode

public NODE startNode

Deprecated.

Start node of the A*.

goalNode

public NODE goalNode

Deprecated.

Node which was marked as a goalNode by AStarMap. (Note that you theoreticaly may have many goal nodes but A* searches only for the first one.) It's filled only if A* found the goalNoda! (success == true)

success

public boolean success

Deprecated.

Whether goalNode was found during the A* run. If this is true then goalNode is not null.

Constructor Detail

AStarResult

public AStarResult()

Deprecated.

Method Detail

getPreviousNode

public NODE getPreviousNode(NODE node)

Deprecated.

Used by getPath() method when creating a list of nodes (the path) from startNode to goalNode.

Parameters:

node -

Returns:

previous node of supplied node | null

putPreviousNode

public void putPreviousNode(NODE node,
                            NODE previous)

Deprecated.

Assing 'previous' as an previous node for 'node' (the path from 'startNode' to 'node' goes across 'previous').

Parameters:

node -

previous -

getCostToNode

public int getCostToNode(NODE node)

Deprecated.

Returns cost of the path from startNode to node if the node was touched by A* algorithm (if A* was successful, then this always contains the goalNode and every node on the path). If node wasn't touched by A* algorithm, then it returns -1.

Parameters:

node -

Returns:

cost of the path from startNode to node

putCostToNode

public void putCostToNode(NODE node,
                          Integer cost)

Deprecated.

Assing cost of the path from startNode to node.

Parameters:

node -

cost -

getEstimatedCostToNode

public int getEstimatedCostToNode(NODE node)

Deprecated.

Returns estimated cost of the path from startNode to goal through node. If the node was touched by A* algorithm then it has this value stored here (if A* was successful, then this always contains the goalNode and every node on the path). If node wasn't touched by A* algorithm, then it returns -1.

Parameters:

node -

Returns:

cost of the path from startNode to node

putEstimatedCostToNode

public void putEstimatedCostToNode(NODE node,
                                   Integer cost)

Deprecated.

Assing estimated cost of the path from startNode to goalNode through node.

Parameters:

node -

cost -

getPath

public List<NODE> getPath()

Deprecated.

Returns the path from startNode to goalNode. (Don't change it as it's cached, if you want to alter it - then copy it :-) First item is startNode and the last item is goalNode. If startNode == goalNode then it contains only one item. For each index ... path[index] has neighbour path[index+1]. If the path doesn't exist - returns null.

getDistanceToGoal

public int getDistanceToGoal()

Deprecated.

If the AStar succeeded then it returns the distance to the goal. Returns -1 otherwise.

Returns:

distance | -1
