GraphStream: a more thorough tutorial introduction?

Question

Background

I am new to both GraphStream and Java. However, I do have experience with other OOP-languages like C++. I personally find the tutorials for GraphStream quite sparse, for example the Layout API doesn't mention which layout algorithms are valid. Thus am looking for a more consolidated tutorial.

Question

Using GraphStream, I want to be able to do the following basic operations:

• Import a graph as a .dgs
• Import a graph as a .csv
• Change from the automatic layout to a specified layout (please list which are valid in the first place too)
• Change all edge attributes (e.g. weight)
• Find at most n paths of length l or less from s to t.
• Add an event (e.g. click node, get user input about about length of paths from that node to show, prune/grow appropriately)

Code

Note

I am using Eclipse. From the GraphStream repository, I have added the following to my build path: gs-algo-1.3, gs-core-1.3, gs-openord-master, and gs-ui-1.3

//import anything I might need
import org.graphstream.graph.*;

        //please explain
        System.setProperty("org.graphstream.ui.renderer","org.graphstream.ui.j2dviewer.J2DGraphRenderer");


        //instantiate a graph
        Graph graph = new SingleGraph("thisGraphNeedsHelp");
        graph.addAttribute("ui.antialias"); //this does something...
        graph.addAttribute("ui.quality"); //this sounds less important...
        graph.setAttribute("ui.stylesheet", "url(../myStyle.css);"); //get some style

        //errors, errors everywhere
        //OpenOrdLayout layout = new OpenOrdLayout();
        //layout.init(graph);
        //layout.compute();

        //changing all edges layout.weight is not that simple
        //graph.setAttribute("edges","layout.weight:4");

        graph.dsiplay();//this just makes the canvas?

        FileSource source = new FileSourceDGS(); //prep. to get a file


        //make graph a sink of source to get the contents of the file
        source.addSink(graph);

        source.begin("../dgs_files/awesomeFile.dgs");//read the file? strange command name i.m.o. file below.

        while(source.nextEvents()); //keep graph interactive? or is this the GraphStream version of readline?

        source.end() //close file? or end interaction?


        //find paths
        //get user input

    }
}
