## com.mxgraph.analysis
Class mxGraphAnalysis

    java.lang.Object
      com.mxgraph.analysis.mxGraphAnalysis

    public class mxGraphAnalysis

extends java.lang.Object

A singleton class that provides algorithms for graphs. Assume these variables for the following examples:
`mxICostFunction cf = mxDistanceCostFunction(); Object[] v = graph.getChildVertices(graph.getDefaultParent()); Object[] e = graph.getChildEdges(graph.getDefaultParent()); mxGraphAnalysis mga = mxGraphAnalysis.getInstance();`

### Shortest Path (Dijkstra)

For example, to find the shortest path between the first and the second selected cell in a graph use the following code:
`Object[] path = mga.getShortestPath(graph, from, to, cf, v.length, true);`

### Minimum Spanning Tree

This algorithm finds the set of edges with the minimal length that connect all vertices. This algorithm can be used as follows:

##### Prim

`mga.getMinimumSpanningTree(graph, v, cf, true))`

##### Kruskal

`mga.getMinimumSpanningTree(graph, v, e, cf))`

### Connection Components

The union find may be used as follows to determine whether two cells are connected: `boolean connected = uf.differ(vertex1, vertex2)`.

    `from` - The source cell.
    `to` - The target cell (aka sink).
    `cf` - The cost function that defines the edge length.

  Returns:
    Returns the shortest path as an alternating array of vertices and edges, starting with `from` and ending with `to`.

### getMinimumSpanningTree

    public java.lang.Object[] getMinimumSpanningTree(mxGraph graph,
                                                     java.lang.Object[] v,
                                                     mxICostFunction cf,
                                                     boolean directed)

  Returns the minimum spanning tree (MST) for the graph defined by G=(E,V). The MST is defined as the set of all vertices with minimal lengths that forms no cycles in G.
  This implementation is based on the algorihm by Prim-Jarnik. It uses O(|E|+|V|log|V|) time when used with a Fibonacci heap and a graph whith a double linked-list datastructure, as is the case with the default implementation.

  Parameters:
    `graph` - the object that describes the graph
    `v` - the vertices of the graph
    `cf` - the cost function that defines the edge length
  Returns:
    Returns the MST as an array of edges
  See Also:
    `createPriorityQueue()`

### getMinimumSpanningTree

    public java.lang.Object[] getMinimumSpanningTree(mxGraph graph,
                                                     java.lang.Object[] v,
                                                     java.lang.Object[] e,
                                                     mxICostFunction cf)

  Returns the minimum spanning tree (MST) for the graph defined by G=(E,V). The MST is defined as the set of all vertices with minimal lenths that forms no cycles in G.
  This implementation is based on the algorihm by Kruskal. It uses O(|E|log|E|)=O(|E|log|V|) time for sorting the edges, O(|V|) create sets, O(|E|) find and O(|V|) union calls on the union find structure, thus yielding no more than O(|E|log|V|) steps. For a faster implementatin

  Parameters:
    `graph` - The object that contains the graph.
    `v` - The vertices of the graph.
    `e` - The edges of the graph.
    `cf` - The cost function that defines the edge length.
  Returns:
    Returns the MST as an array of edges.
