distanceFromStart
intdistanceFromStart()
Returns the maximum distance between start nodes and ancestors or descendants
Returns:
the maximum distance between start nodes and ancestors or descendants
keepStart
booleankeepStart()
Returns whether the start nodes, i.e. the nodes after applying the
transformations, should be included
Returns:
true, if the start nodes should be include; false,
otherwise
