Classes whose instances each have a FeatureMap.

Method Detail

getFeatures

FeatureMap getFeatures()

Get the feature set. This must follow the Java convention of returning a reference to the stored FeatureMap and not a copy. This means changes to the returned FeatureMap will be visible to any future callers of this method. It also means that there is no need to call setFeatures having updated the FeatureMap.

setFeatures

void setFeatures(FeatureMap features)

Set the feature set
