Type Parameters:

G -

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractGraphFactory, DynamicGraphFactory, HierarchicalTransitionGraphFactory, ReducedGraphFactory, RegulatoryGraphFactory, TrapSpaceTreeFactory, TreeFactory

public interface GraphFactory<G extends Graph<?,?>>

Factory to open or create specialised graph instances. Implementations of this interface will be loaded by the GraphManager and used to create new graph or load them from file.
To be properly loaded, they must use the @MetaInfServices( GraphFactory.class) annotation.
