Re: IdAlreadyInUseException While Using BarabasiAlbertGenerator

[Stefan Balev <stefan.balev AT gmail.com>]

Hi again Jacob,

Thank you for spotting this bug. Guilhelm just pushed a fix on github. You can pull it from there or if you prefer you can directly download the last build of gs-core here:

http://graphstream-project.org/pub/1.x/nightly-build/last/

It should work now but if it's not the case, please let us know.

Best,

Thank you for the reply, Stefan.

After having broken down my code to a minimal working example, I suspect that it has something to do with attributes and the layout or rendering algorithm. Here is code that produces the problem on my end.

/* ================================================== */

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Graph graph = new SingleGraph("graph");
    graph.display(true);

    graph.addAttribute("ui.quality");
    graph.addAttribute("ui.antialias");

    Generator generator = new BarabasiAlbertGenerator();
    generator.addSink(graph);
    generator.begin();
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        generator.nextEvents();
    }
    generator.end();

    graph.clear();

    graph.addAttribute("ui.quality");
    graph.addAttribute("ui.antialias");

    generator = new BarabasiAlbertGenerator();
    generator.addSink(graph);
    generator.begin();
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        generator.nextEvents();
    }
    generator.end();
}

/* ================================================== */

And here is the stacktrace it produces.

Exception in thread "Thread-1" org.miv.pherd.IdAlreadyInUseException: a particle with the same identifier already exists (0)
    at org.miv.pherd.ParticleBox.addParticle(ParticleBox.java:103)

Best regards,
