Class NodePathFinder

java.lang.Object

lejos.robotics.pathfinding.NodePathFinder

All Implemented Interfaces:

PathFinder

public class NodePathFinder
extends java.lang.Object
implements PathFinder

This path finder class uses one of the common search algorithms (e.g. A*) and a navigation mesh (e.g. grid) and uses them to find a path around map geometry.

Constructor Detail

NodePathFinder

public NodePathFinder(SearchAlgorithm alg,
                      NavigationMesh mesh)

Instantiates a NodePathFinder object using a specified algorithm. The supplied mesh is used to add and remove nodes (start and goal) when requesting a path.

Parameters:

alg - The search algorithm.

mesh - The navigation mesh is a set of nodes in various configurations (e.g. grid).

setSearchAlgorithm

public void setSearchAlgorithm(SearchAlgorithm alg)

Method for changing the search algorithm after this has been instantiated.

Parameters:

alg -
