Interface DiscreteMappingGenerator<V>

Type Parameters:

V - the type of the Visual Property.

public interface DiscreteMappingGenerator<V>

Generates Discrete mapping for a set of attribute values and a Visual Property.

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.

Method Summary

<T> Map<T,V>	generateMap(Set<T> attributeSet) For a given set of attribute values, create discrete mapping.
Class<V>	getDataType() Returns the type of the visual property.
