- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### GraphPattern

          public GraphPattern()

      Creates a new graph pattern.

    - #### GraphPattern

          public GraphPattern(GraphPattern parent)

      Creates a new graph pattern that inherits the context and scope from a parent graph pattern.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setContextVar

          public void setContextVar(Var contextVar)

    - #### getContextVar

          public Var getContextVar()

    - #### setStatementPatternScope

          public void setStatementPatternScope(StatementPattern.Scope spScope)

    - #### getStatementPatternScope

          public StatementPattern.Scope getStatementPatternScope()

    - #### addRequiredTE

          public void addRequiredTE(TupleExpr te)

    - #### addRequiredSP

          public void addRequiredSP(Var subjVar,
                                    Var predVar,

      add the supplied tuple expression as an optional expression, with a list of constraints that hold as conditions.
      Parameters:
        `te` - a tuple expression
        `constraints` - a list of constraints that form a condition for the LeftJoin to be formed from the optional TE.

    - #### getOptionalTEs

          public List<Map.Entry<TupleExpr,List<ValueExpr>>> getOptionalTEs()

      Retrieves the optional tuple expressions as a list of tuples with the tuple expression as the key and the list of value expressions as the value.
      Returns:
        a list of Map entries.
