Enum Class Direction

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Direction>

org.biopax.paxtools.query.algorithm.Direction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Direction>, Constable

public enum Direction
extends Enum<Direction>

Direction is used for specifying upstream, downstream or both. Neighborhood and CommonStream queries use this enum as parameter. The difference between BOTHSTREAM and UNDIRECTED: Both-stream means that the linking paths can be either towards upstream or downstream. A linking path will always be directed towards one direction, i.e. the directions of its relations will be consistent. Undirected means the directions are not considered at all, so a linking path can contain relations towards different directions.
