Re: null pointer at source.addSink(graph);

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your feedback. I fix FileSourceFactory to return a dgs source

when extension is .dgs (before that, it just checks the first line of the

file, trying to match it with DGSxxx).

About GEXF input, it should work so it is not expected ! Can you tell me

what is your version of GraphStream and maybe send me a gexf file that

you are using ?

What kind and format of graph example do you want ?

You can use generators of gs-algo to create fastly some graphs :

|

| http://graphstream-project.org/doc/Generators/Overview-of-generators_1.0/

|

You just have to connect a generator to a FileSink :

|

| Generator gen = new BarabasiAlbertGenerator();

| FileSink out = new FileSinkDGS();

|

| out.begin("myGenerateGraph.dgs");

|

| gen.addSink(out);

| gen.begin();

|

| for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

|   gen.nextEvents();

|

| out.end();

| gen.end();

|

Note that actually there is only DGS that support dynamics. We

have to make some work on GEXF to add support for spells. But

you can generate a snapshot of your graph :

|

| Generator gen = new BarabasiAlbertGenerator();

| Graph g       = new AdjacencyListGraph("myGenerateGraph");

| FileSink out  = new FileSinkGEXF();

|

| gen.addSink(g);

| gen.begin();

|

| for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)

|   gen.nextEvents();

|

| gen.end();

|

| out.writeAll(g, "myGenerateGraph.gexf");

|

Hope this helps ...

Regards.

Guilhelm,

   Thank you for your reply.  I found that the .dgs file did not have the first line as "DGS004" when I added that I did not get the error.
   I have tried to use .gexf files as a source and am not able to get them to run.  Is that expected?  Are there some good example graph files out on the web?  Are there more example programs one could use?
   I am really looking forward to working with your system. I think it is important.

Regards
Bob Garvey

Hi and welcome to GraphStream community.

Can you give me more informations :
- the stack trace of the exception
- the version of your GraphStream jar
- your java version and OS

I try your code and got no exception.

Regards.

First try with GraphStream.  I can't get over the hump of (FileSource)
source
being null.

I will be grateful for any assistance.  gs looks like a great
accomplishment!


public class Tutorial2 {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                Graph graph = new SingleGraph("Tutorial2");
                String filePath = "tutorial2.dgs";
                System.out.println("ID:" + graph.getId());
                graph.display();

                graph.addAttribute("ui.antialias");
                try {
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                        FileInputStream fstream = new
FileInputStream(filePath);
                        DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
                        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(in));
                        String strLine;
                        while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                                System.out.println(strLine);
                        }
                        fstream.close();
                        FileSource source =
FileSourceFactory.sourceFor(filePath);
                        Thread.sleep(5000);
                        source.addSink(graph);
                        source.begin(filePath);
                        while (source.nextEvents());
                        source.end();
                } catch (InterruptedException ix) {
                        System.out.println("interrupted while waiting on
invokeAndWait()");
                } catch (IOException ioe) {
                        System.out.println("IOE");
                        ioe.printStackTrace();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
        }
