Class AbstractVisualMappingFunction<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  org.cytoscape.view.vizmap.mappings.AbstractVisualMappingFunction<K,V>

Type Parameters:

K - Generic type of the attribute mapped.

V - Generic type of the VisualProperty used in this mapping.

All Implemented Interfaces:

VisualMappingFunction<K,V>

public abstract class AbstractVisualMappingFunction<K,V>
extends Object
implements VisualMappingFunction<K,V>

A base class for visual mapping functions where all fields are immutable.

Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (Abstract Class): This class is abstract and meant to be extended by users. This means that we may add methods for minor version updates. Methods will only be removed for major version updates.

Field Summary

vp - Visual Property used in this mapping.

Method Detail

getMappingColumnName

public String getMappingColumnName()

Description copied from interface: VisualMappingFunction

Returns attribute name used in this mapping. This field is immutable.

Specified by:

getMappingColumnName in interface VisualMappingFunction<K,V>

Returns:

name of attribute (a column name in data table) associated with this mapping.

getMappingColumnType

public Class<K> getMappingColumnType()

Description copied from interface: VisualMappingFunction

Returns data type of mapping attribute.

Specified by:

getMappingColumnType in interface VisualMappingFunction<K,V>

Returns:

data type of controlling attribute.

getVisualProperty

public VisualProperty<V> getVisualProperty()

Description copied from interface: VisualMappingFunction

Visual Property associated with this function. This field is immutable.

Specified by:

getVisualProperty in interface VisualMappingFunction<K,V>

Returns:

VisualProperty used in this mapping.

apply

public void apply(CyRow row,
                  View<? extends CyIdentifiable> view)

Description copied from interface: VisualMappingFunction

Apply mapping to the view model. Once this method is called, Cytoscape updates the view model and fires proper events.

Specified by:

apply in interface VisualMappingFunction<K,V>

Parameters:

row - The data row used to create the visual property value for the specified view.

view - target View model to be updated. View should be one of the following: Node, Edge, or Network.
