      • createEdgeList

        java.util.List createEdgeList​(java.lang.Object vertex)
        Create a new edge list for a particular vertex.
        Parameters:
        vertex - the vertex for which the edge list is being created; sophisticated factories may be able to use this information to choose an optimal list representation (e.g. ArrayList for a vertex expected to have low degree, and TreeList for a vertex expected to have high degree)
        Returns:
        new list
