public enum ArgType
extends Enum<ArgType>

An enum specifying a function argument type.

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (Enum): This class is an enum therefore can't be extended by users. This means that we may add methods or enum values for minor version updates. Methods or enum values will only be removed for major version updates.

Method Detail

values

public static ArgType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ArgType c : ArgType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ArgType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isOptional

public boolean isOptional()

Returns true if this type is optional.

Returns:

true if this type is optional.

acceptsMultipleArgs

public boolean acceptsMultipleArgs()

Returns true if this type accepts multiple args.

Returns:

true if this type accepts multiple args.

getCompatibleTypes

public Class[] getCompatibleTypes()

Returns an array of compatible Class types.

Returns:

an array of compatible Class types.
