Interface Report

All Known Implementing Classes:

HTMLReport

public interface Report

Sn interface to a generic report generating class, and to provide the polymorphism necessary to allow the report generator to generate any number of different formats of report Note: This used to be an abstract class, but has been made an interface as there wasn't any logic contained within it. It's also been made public, so that you can create a Report type without monkeying about in the statistics package.
