Interface VisualPropertyEditor<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Type of object managed in the Visual Prop.

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractVisualPropertyEditor

public interface VisualPropertyEditor<T>

Facade of all editor-related objects for a Visual Property. If an app developer adds a custom visual property, they should implement this in the presentation layer.

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (SPI Interface): We expect that this interface will be implemented. Therefore to maintain backwards compatibility this interface will only be modified for major version updates.
