Interface Contour

All Known Subinterfaces:

InstanceContour, JavaContour, MethodContour, StaticContour

public interface Contour

A contour within a contour model.

This should not be confused with the contour table in the jivelog database. That table contains the list of known contours in a stateless fashion. This contour interface represents a stateful contour, a contour whose variables have values and that is (probably) nested within some containing contour.

The contour model implementation aims towards language independence. Subinterfaces may supply language-specific semantics.

Nested Class Summary

static interface	Contour.Exporter Reverse-builder for contours.
static interface	Contour.Importer Builder for contours.

Method Summary

ContourModel	containingModel() Get the model that contains this contour.
void	export(Contour.Exporter exporter) Export this contour to the given reverse-builder.
ContourID	id() Get the contour identifier for this contour.

Method Detail

export

void export(Contour.Exporter exporter)

Export this contour to the given reverse-builder.

Parameters:

exporter -

id

ContourID id()

Get the contour identifier for this contour. This identifier is unique with respect to this contour model.

Returns:

contour identifier.

containingModel

ContourModel containingModel()

Get the model that contains this contour.

Returns:

containing contour model
