Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>>	getAllSuperNodes() Computes an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are (possibly indirect) super-objects of members of this Node.
Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>>	getDirectSubNodes() Get an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are direct sub-objects of this Node.
Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>>	getDirectSuperNodes() Get an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are direct super-objects of this Node.

Method Detail

getDirectSuperNodes

Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>> getDirectSuperNodes()

Get an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are direct super-objects of this Node.

Returns:

list of nodes for direct super-objects of this node's members

getAllSuperNodes

Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>> getAllSuperNodes()

Computes an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are (possibly indirect) super-objects of members of this Node. This is the smallest set of nodes that contains all direct super-nodes of this node, and all direct super-nodes of every node in this set.

Returns:

set of nodes for sub-objects of this node's members

getDirectSubNodes

Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>> getDirectSubNodes()

Get an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are direct sub-objects of this Node.

Returns:

list of nodes for direct sub-objects of this node's members

getAllSubNodes

Set<? extends TaxonomyNode<T>> getAllSubNodes()

Computes an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are (possibly indirect) sub-objects of members of this Node. This is the smallest set of nodes that contains all direct sub-nodes of this node, and all direct sub-nodes of every node in this set.

Returns:

set of nodes for sub-objects of this node's members
