public interface IDiffElement
- extends
ITypedElement
An IDiffElement
is used in the DiffTreeViewer
to display the kind of change detected as the result of a two-way or three-way compare.
The base interface ITypedElement
provides a name, a type, and an image.
IDiffElement
adds API for maintaining a parent relationship.
DiffTreeViewer
works on a tree of IDiffElements
.
Leaf elements must implement the
IDiffElement
interface, inner nodes the IDiffContainer
interface.
IDiffElement
s are typically created as the result of performing
a compare with the Differencer
.
Clients may implement this interface, or use one of the standard implementations,
DiffElement
, DiffContainer
, or DiffNode
.
