Interface Layer

public interface Layer

This interface describes a single layer in a hierarchic layout.

A layer consists of nodes along with the associated same-layer edges. Each layer has a type and an index representing its order in the list of layers.

static byte	TYPE_SOURCE_GROUP_NODES A constant describing a layer consisting of source group nodes and dummy nodes.
static byte	TYPE_TARGET_GROUP_NODES A constant describing a layer consisting of target group nodes and dummy nodes.
static byte	TYPE_UPPER_GROUP_CONNECTOR_NODES Describes a layer above a group to store the connector proxies where edges connect to groups.
