Interface Proc

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProcH

public abstract interface Proc

extends FD

The process of a FD. This is used together with the Clause and the Partic class in order to create a clause sentence. There are methods in this class to set and to create various properties of a process. Moreover, this interface also provides various constants to help users setting the properties of a process. For example, when user wants to set the process type of the Process to be material, user can just use setProcessType(Proc.MATERIAL). Factory methods are also provided to help users to construct instance of Proc in a more efficient fashion.

ProcFactory, Clause, Partic, setProcessType(String processType), MATERIAL
