Interface MutableGEPath

All Superinterfaces:
Digraph, GEDigraph, GEPath, HasState, Path
All Known Implementing Classes:
MutableListGEPath

public interface MutableGEPath
extends GEPath

MutableGEPath is an interface for represtenting mutable paths through GEDigraph.

Direct implementations of GEDigraph should have a copy constructor that takes a GEPath, and a constructor that requires a GEDigraph and a start node.
