Interface NodeShape

All Superinterfaces:

java.awt.Shape

All Known Implementing Classes:

Ellipse2DNode

public interface NodeShape

extends java.awt.Shape

The NodeShape interface extends Shape for it is a specific type of shape that can be used as a node in addition to the regular shape methods.

For usage as a node in a tree, the NodeShape must implement the ability to get an Inscribed Rectangle, which is the only additional method this interface requires.

The interface is only valid for Binary trees, where only a single inscribedRectangle is required.
