Interface PathObjectConnectionGroup

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultPathObjectConnectionGroup, DelaunayTriangulation
public interface PathObjectConnectionGroup
Interface defining a basic structure to represent relationships between PathObjects that do not fit with the parent-child idea of the PathObjectHierarchy.

Example applications would be Delaunay triangulation.

Such connections can be represented on an overlay by drawing lines between object centroids.

      Get an unmodifiable collection containing all the PathObjects contained within this group.
      Returns:

    • getConnectedObjects

      List<PathObject> getConnectedObjects(PathObject pathObject)

      pathObject -
      Returns:

    • getPathObjectsForRegion

      default Collection<PathObject> getPathObjectsForRegion(ImageRegion region)
      Get all the objects with connections that may intersect the specified region.
