public interface mxICostFunction

The cost function takes a cell and returns it's cost as a double. Two typical examples of cost functions are the euclidian length of edges or a constant number for each edge. To use one of the built-in cost functions, use either new mxDistanceCostFunction(graph) or new mxConstantCostFunction(1).

Method Summary
