40  * @ingroup Graph
41  * @brief PropertyInterface describes the interface of a graph property.
42  *
43  * The intent of a property is to hold a value for each node and edge (e.g. the degree of the nodes).
44  *
45  * A property can be used in two different ways :
46  * Either it is attached to a graph; and in this case creating and deleting the property is handled by the graph
47  * (@see Graph::getProperty()).
48  *
49  * Either is is detached from a graph, and you have to handle creation and deletion yourself.
50  * This is most useful for some algorithms that need a temporary property, but do not want the property to appear on the graph
51  * after the computation.

PropertyInterface describes the interface of a graph property.
Contains additional information about events on a property, such as the property it happened on...
MetaValueCalculator * getMetaValueCalculator()
Gets the MetaValueCalculator of this property.
The edge struct represents an edge in a Graph object.
Definition: Edge.h:39
The node struct represents a node in a Graph object.
Definition: Node.h:39
VectorPropertyInterface describes the interface of a graph property whose holded value is a vector (s...
Event is the base class for all events used in the Observation mechanism.
Definition: Observable.h:47
const std::string & getName() const
Gets the name of the property (e.g. viewLayout).
Base class for computing values on meta nodes and edges.
virtual void setMetaValueCalculator(MetaValueCalculator *calculator)
Sets the Calculator for meta nodes and edges.
The Observable class is the base of Tulip's observation system.
