Detailed Description

This class can be used to instantiate Multi-list Elements.

This class extends SLelement (singly linked list element) to build multi-lists; Multilist elements contain a tag that indicates if the element is a sublist or not; If the element points to a sublist, then the sublist field is the beginning of this sublist. If not, the data field contains the user specified data item and list continues (getNext()/setNext()). As in singly linked elements, the next pointer points to the following list element of the list or sublist.

Multi-list elements contain a visualizer (ElementVisualizer) object for setting visual attributes (color, shape, opacity, size), necessary for displaying them in a web browser.

Elements also have a LinkVisualizer object, that is used when they are linked to another element, appropriate for setting link attributes, for instance, between the current element and its next element. In this case, the link in question is that which connects the element to the following elements; a similar logic follows for sublists.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

bridges.base.MLelement< E >.MLelement

(

)

This constructor creates an SLelement object and sets the next pointer to null

bridges.base.MLelement< E >.MLelement	(	String	label,
		E	e
	)

This constructor creates an SLelement object of generic parameter object E, and label "label" and sets the next pointer to null

Parameters

label	the label of SLelement that shows up on the Bridges visualization
e	the generic object that this SLelement will hold

bridges.base.MLelement< E >.MLelement	(	E	e,
		MLelement< E >	next
	)

Creates a new element with value "e" and sets the next pointer to the SLelement referenced by the "next" argument

Parameters

e	the generic object that this element will hold
next	the element that should be assigned to the next pointer

bridges.base.MLelement< E >.MLelement	(	MLelement< E >	sublist,
		MLelement< E >	next
	)

Creates a new element and sets the next pointer to the SLelement "next"

Parameters

next	the SLelement that should be assigned to the next pointer
