Interface CyGroupSettingsManager

public interface CyGroupSettingsManager

The CyGroupSettingsManager is responsible for providing an interface to all of the possible settings controlling CyGroups, including the default settings and group specific settings. This includes both view settings as well as the various aggregation settings.

Module: group-api

To use this in your app, include the following dependency in your POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.cytoscape</groupId>
    <artifactId>group-api</artifactId>
</dependency>

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.
