Node

All Superinterfaces:

PropertyContainer, SemanticObjectContainer

All Known Subinterfaces:

CompositeNode
```
public interface Node
extends SemanticObjectContainer, PropertyContainer
```
A node is an object that is contained by a graph and is connected to other nodes by edges. A node has a semantic object that is its semantic equivalent in the application and may have a visual object which is its syntactic representation in the user interface.

- Method Detail
  - inEdges
```
java.util.Iterator inEdges()
```
    Return an iterator over the edges coming into this node.
  - outEdges
```
java.util.Iterator outEdges()
```
    Return an iterator over the edges coming out of this node.
  - getParent
```
Graph getParent()
```
    Return the graph parent of this node.
  - setParent
```
void setParent(Graph parent)
```
    Set the graph parent of this node. Implementors of this method are also responsible for insuring that it is set properly as the child of the graph in the graph.
