DummyConstraint

public DummyConstraint(java.lang.String edgeLabel)

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: Constraint

Every Constraint should implement a toString method (used by the ConstraintNetwork rendering methods).

Specified by:

toString in class Constraint

Returns:

the String representation of this Constraint.

getEdgeLabel

public java.lang.String getEdgeLabel()

Description copied from class: Constraint

Every Constraint should implement this method - its value is what is drawn by the ConstraintNetwork rendering methods.

Specified by:

getEdgeLabel in class Constraint

Returns:

a String representation of the constraint to be used for ConstraintNetwork rendering.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Specified by:

clone in class Constraint

isEquivalent

public boolean isEquivalent(Constraint c)

Description copied from class: Constraint

Method for assessing the "equivalence" between two constraints. This is not used for lookups nor comparisons (hence, it is not the equals method).

Specified by:

isEquivalent in class Constraint

Parameters:

c - The Constraint to compare against.

Returns:

true iff the two constraints are considered to be equivalent.

getDummyVariable

public DummyVariable getDummyVariable()
