org.cytoscape.view.model
Interface View<S>

Type Parameters:

S - the base (model-level) object for which this is a View. For example, CyNode or CyEdge. In the future versions, Attributes can be this parameter.

All Superinterfaces:

CyIdentifiable

All Known Subinterfaces:

CyNetworkView

public interface View<S>
extends CyIdentifiable

The base interface that defines methods used to set visual properties for nodes, edges, and networks. Think of it as a row in the view-model table.

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.

Method Detail

setVisualProperty

<T,V extends T> void setVisualProperty(VisualProperty<? extends T> vp,
                                       V value)

Assign a value to the given Visual Property of this view.

Type Parameters:

T - Data type of the visual property. This can be subclasses of type T.

V - Value of the visual property. This can be subclasses of T.

Parameters:

vp - the VisualProperty (Node Color, Edge Width, etc.)

value - actual value stored in this visual property.

getVisualProperty

<T> T getVisualProperty(VisualProperty<T> vp)

Get the actual value for the given visual property.

Type Parameters:

T - Object type of the Visual Property (Color, Double, ...)

Parameters:

vp - the VisualProperty.

Returns:

Value associated with this View and Visual Property pair.

setLockedValue

<T,V extends T> void setLockedValue(VisualProperty<? extends T> vp,
                                    V value)

Set locked value. This value will be used to bypass the style.

Type Parameters:

T - Data type of the visual property. This can be subclasses of type T.

V - Value of the visual property. This can be subclasses of T.

Parameters:

vp - the VisualProperty

value - DOCUMENT ME!

isValueLocked

boolean isValueLocked(VisualProperty<?> vp)

Returns true if current VisualProperty value is locked.

Parameters:

vp - the VisualProperty

Returns:

clearValueLock

void clearValueLock(VisualProperty<?> vp)

Clear value lock for given VisualProperty.

Parameters:

vp - the VisualProperty.

getModel

S getModel()

Get source data structure, such as CyNode, CyEdge, etc.

Returns:

Data object of this view.
