Answers for "how to plot a graph in java"

implement graph in java example

class Graph {

  // inner class
  // to keep track of edges
  class Edge {
    int src, dest;
  }

  // number of vertices and edges
  int vertices, edges;

  // array to store all edges

      // each element of the edge array
      // is an object of Edge type
      edge[i] = new Edge();
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // create an object of Graph class
    int noVertices = 5;
    int noEdges = 8;
    Graph g = new Graph(noVertices, noEdges);

    // create graph
    g.edge[0].src = 1;   // edge 1---2
