Interface IModel
- All Known Subinterfaces:
IModelExtension,IModelImpl
public interface IModel
A marker interface for Handly-based models.
A model serves as the common owner of any number of IElements.
Each IElement belongs to a model, called the owning model.
The children of an element always belong to the same model as their parent
element.
There can be any number of elements owned by a model that are unparented. Each of these elements is the root
of a separate tree of elements. The Elements.getRoot(IElement) method
navigates from any element to the root of the containing element tree. One
can navigate from any element to its
owning model but not in the opposite direction.
An instance of IModel is safe for use by multiple threads.
