Interface Item

public interface Item

An item is a visual element built by an ItemBuilder and later used by a Renderer to be displayed.

An item simply stores the reference to the original object (e.g. node, edge) and all the information useful for the Renderer like the color, size or position.

All items can be retrieved from the PreviewModel.
