Accessing intergraph hyperedges

The IlvHyperGrapher class provides methods that let you access in an efficient way normal hyperedges and intergraph hyperedges stored in a hypergraph. These methods are shown in the following table:
Methods for accessing normal and intergraph hyperedges
Method
Description
Returns all normal hyperedges stored in the hypergraph.
Returns the number of normal hyperedges stored in the hypergraph.
Returns all intergraph hyperedges stored in the hypergraph.
Returns the number of intergraph hyperedges stored in the hypergraph.
Since intergraph hyperedges are stored in the same way as other graphic objects in the hypergraph or graph, they are also included in the list of all objects contained in the hypergraph that is returned by the getObjects method of the class IlvManager :
IlvGraphicEnumeration getObjects()
Calling the specific methods shown in the above table is much more efficient than traversing all the objects in a hypergraph.
