Class ToStringRenderer

org.semanticweb.owlapi.io.ToStringRenderer

public final class ToStringRenderer
extends Object

A utility class which can be used by implementations to provide a toString rendering of OWL API objects. The idea is that this is pluggable. TODO this does not allow for independent rendering; in a multithreaded situation, the rendere may change mid execution because of the static singleton instance

Since:

2.2.0
