public abstract class AbstractNode extends Object implements Node
Abstract class defining common variables and methods for any kind of node.

  • Constructor Details

    • AbstractNode

      public AbstractNode(String name)
      Common initialisation for nodes. This constructor initialises the node as not being a class variable, a type of variable that does not appear in those models that are not meant for classification.
      Parameters:
      name - name of the node

    • AbstractNode

      public AbstractNode(String name, boolean isClassVariable)
      Common initialisation for nodes. This constructor allows specifying if the node is a class variable.
      Parameters:
      name - name of the node
      isClassVariable - true if the node represents a class variable, false otherwise

  • Method Details

    • clearParentAndChildrenSets

      public void clearParentAndChildrenSets()
      Description copied from interface: Node
      Remove the set of parents and children of the node. This method should be used with caution, as references to this node from others will not be affected. It is recommended its use when creating an empty PGM, i.e., we are removing all edges between nodes.
      Specified by:
      clearParentAndChildrenSets in interface Node

      Returns:
      child node list

    • getName
