IAttributeBearer Interface

An interface to IBaseObject (thus IObject, ITransientObject) and IGraphElement (thus INode and IEdge) types, all bearing attributes

Namespace: de.unika.ipd.grGen.libGr
Assembly: libGr (in libGr.dll) Version: GrGen.NET 7.2

Syntax

public interface IAttributeBearer : ITyped, 
	IDeepEqualityComparer, ICallable

The IAttributeBearer type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Item	Indexer that gives access to the attributes of the attribute bearer.
	Type	The InheritanceType of the typed object (Inherited from ITyped.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	ApplyFunctionMethod	Executes the function method given by its name. Throws an exception if the method does not exists or the parameters are of wrong types. (Inherited from ICallable.)
	ApplyProcedureMethod	Executes the procedure method given by its name. Throws an exception if the method does not exists or the parameters are of wrong types. (Inherited from ICallable.)
	GetAttribute	Returns the attribute with the given attribute name. If the attribute bearer (type) doesn't have an attribute with this name, a NullReferenceException is thrown.
	InstanceOf	Returns true, if the typed object is compatible to the given type (Inherited from ITyped.)
	IsDeeplyEqual	Returns whether this and that are deeply equal, which means the scalar attributes are equal, the container attributes are memberwise deeply equal, and object attributes are deeply equal. (If types are unequal the result is false.) Visited objects are/have to be stored in the visited objects dictionary in order to detect shortcuts and cycles. TODO: extend to structures including shortcuts and cycles, but excluding aliasing, with a visited objects map instead of a set. (Inherited from IDeepEqualityComparer.)
	ResetAllAttributes	Resets all attribute bearer attributes to their initial values.
	SetAttribute	Sets the attribute with the given attribute name to the given value. If the attribute bearer (type) doesn't have an attribute with this name, a NullReferenceException is thrown.
