Interface NodeInfo

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultNodeInfo

public interface NodeInfo

extends java.lang.Cloneable

This is a specialized user object for use in conjunction with MutableTreeNode or DefaultMutableTreeNode type tree nodes.

Objects implementing NodeInfo are useful when you want to build instrumented trees with specialized tree nodes. While you will be best served to use DefaultMutableTreeNode type nodes, the NodeInfo interface gives you complete freedom in what kind of user objects to put into those nodes.

You will often want your NodeInfo classes to also implement Copyable. This will allow undo/redo and copy/paste to function properly in the instrumented tree.
