```
public final class ArgumentInfo
extends Value
```
Info object used to define the valid input and output arguments of a Control. As well as giving the type of the argument, an ArgumentInfo can have an optional set of properties. This might be used for defining the "minimum" and "maximum" values of a PNumber argument, for example.

    Description copied from class: Value
    
    Values must override the default method to return a string representation that is immutable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in class Value
    
    Returns:
    
    String representation
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Description copied from class: Value
    
    Values must override the default equals method. This method should only return true if the supplied Object is of the same type as the implementing Value. Values of an unknown type should be coerced before calling this method. This method does not have to guarantee that this.equals(that) == this.toString().equals(that.toString())
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in class Value
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean

    Description copied from class: Value
    
    Values must override the default hashcode method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in class Value
    
    Returns:
    
    int hashcode
