Interface GravityTracker

All Known Implementing Classes:

MenuGravityTracker, PopupMenuGravityTracker

public interface GravityTracker

This interface sepecifies a tracker that will be used to insert items (submenus, menu items and separators) into a menu based on their "gravity" or "weight". Items with higher gravity will appear further down the menu.

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (API Interface): We expect that this interface will be used but not implemented by developers using this interface. As such, we reserve the right to add methods to the interface as part of minor version upgrades. We will not remove methods for any changes other than major version upgrades.
