Package org.cytoscape.view.presentation.property.values

Interface MappableVisualPropertyValue

All Superinterfaces:

VisualPropertyValue

public interface MappableVisualPropertyValue
extends VisualPropertyValue

This is a special VisualPropertyValue that allows a VisualProperty value to be specified as depending on one or more CyColumns. That way, if the columns or column values change, Cytoscape can also update the Views that have the corresponding visual property values.

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.
