Interface SubGraph

All Superinterfaces:

NodeContainer

All Known Implementing Classes:

SubGraphImpl

public interface SubGraph
extends NodeContainer

Interface to be implemented by classes providing the subgraph feature. A subgraph is a named node container which is primarily used as a storage helper by graphs. Compared to a graph, a subgraph lacks the factory/manager feature as well as the possibility to hierarchically store nodes using containers like subgraphs.
