public interface IdentifiableDiagramElement
extends DiagramElement

This means that the element has an ID, so that the id can be used to reference it from multiple places. This is used where the element is likely to be given a specific name within either the diagram, or across all diagrams within the project.

Method Detail

getID

String getID()

ID should be a project-unique ID to describe this element. It is also used within the XML to allow references between the elements of the XML file. ID is also used for hashcode and equals. Set an ID to ensure sorting, maps and therefore diagram layouts, are deterministic.

setID

void setID(String s)
