Interface INgUserData

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

INgUserDataProxy, NgUserData

public interface INgUserData
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control the userdata.

Description

Userdata are data associated with elements designed to be used for data-specific processing purpose. The difference between user data and properties is that a property generally modifies the graphic representation whereas a user data has no direct impact on that graphic representation. Note also that employing user data assigned to elements cuts the database access and shortens calculation times (the process is less calculation-intensive).
