- Constructor Detail
  - SyntacticColumn
```
public SyntacticColumn()
```
    Create new empty Syntactic Column.
- Method Detail
  - doesFollow
```
public boolean doesFollow(SyntacticTerm node)
```
    Decide if given node follows completely from this column. To be true there must be at least one connection from the column to the node and all incoming connections must follow from this column.
    
    Parameters:
    
    node - The node possibly following the column.
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether the given node follows completely from given column.
  - sort
```
public void sort()
```
    Sort constituent terms in column by type order. Sorting a column will change its neighboring permutations.
  - generateCode
```
public java.lang.String generateCode()
```
    Description copied from class: SyntacticTermList
    
    Generate code for the term. In the case of this base class it is blank.
    
    Specified by:
    
    generateCode in interface SyntacticTerm
    
    Overrides:
    
    generateCode in class SyntacticTermList
    
    Returns:
    
    string containing the code for the term.
  - hasCode
```
public boolean hasCode()
```
    Description copied from class: SyntacticTermList
    
    Decide whether the term has code to generate.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasCode in interface SyntacticTerm
    
    Overrides:
    
    hasCode in class SyntacticTermList
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the term has code to generate.
