Interface Precedence

public interface Precedence

Interface that can be used to assign a invokation precedence to output handlers. For each scope output handlers will be invoked in the order of their precedence. Output handlers that have different precedences will effect multi-pass writing on the output scope.

GraphML handlers for GraphML elements like graph, node and edge have default precedence GRAPHML_PRECEDENCE. Output handlers with smaller precedence will be invoked before and output handlers with bigger precedence will be invoked after the standard GraphML elements are written.

Field Summary

static int

GRAPHML_PRECEDENCE Symbolic constant for the default handler precedence.

Method Summary

int	getPrecedence() Get the precedence value of the output handler.

Field Detail

GRAPHML_PRECEDENCE

public static final int GRAPHML_PRECEDENCE

Symbolic constant for the default handler precedence. Note: output handlers with a lower precedence will be called before any "normal" (i.e. not data) child elements of the current graph element are written.
