- Method Detail
  - getAdjacentVertices
```
Collection<Vertex<V,E>> getAdjacentVertices()
```
    vertex has a collection of edges, thus pointing to several other vertices
    
    Returns:
    
    a collection of vertex
  - getEdges
```
Collection<Edge<V,E>> getEdges()
```
    Returns:
    
    returns a collection of edges
  - getIncomingEdges
```
Collection<Edge<V,E>> getIncomingEdges()
```
    Returns all edges that are incoming into this vertex.
    
    If this vertex is seen as v, then all edges e are returned that match x-(e)->v
    
    Returns:
    
    returns a collection of edges
  - getOutgoingEdges
```
Collection<Edge<V,E>> getOutgoingEdges()
```
    Returns all edges which are outgoing from this vertex.
    
    If this vertex is seen as v, then all edges e are returned that match v-(e)->x
    
    Returns:
    
    returns a collection of edges
  - getElement
```
V getElement()
```
    Returns:
    
    returns the decorated element
