public interface AttributeFilter

Interface for defining CyEdge-based filters used for determining which Edges should be used for a particular operation, such as CyAttributesUtils.copyAttributes().

Method Summary
 boolean includeAttribute(CyAttributes attrs, String objID, String attrName)
          Return true iff a given attribute should be included in some operation, such as CyAttributesUtils.copyAttributes().
 

Method Detail

includeAttribute

boolean includeAttribute(CyAttributes attrs,
                         String objID,
                         String attrName)
Return true iff a given attribute should be included in some operation, such as CyAttributesUtils.copyAttributes().

Parameters:
CyAttributes - attrs the CyAttributes where attrName is stored.
objID - the identifer of the object whose attrName attribute is stored in attrs.
attrName - the name of the Attribute to test. For example, if we were performing a CyAttributesUtils.copyAttributes(), returning true would mean to copy the attribute attrName for the object with key objID, within the CyAttributes attrs.
