Package suvi.api.alg.attr Description

Layout attribute interfaces.

Design rationale

The intention behind the design of the attribute system is to centralize the logic needed to support a particular attribute interface to the interface itself, so that other components need not be modified when new attribute interfaces are added. In particular, the GraphLayoutAlgChassis, the existing policies (suvi.alg.policies) and the GraphParser are mostly invariant in respect to addition of new attributes. This is the essence of the Open-Closed Principle [Martin2002].
