Package com.tensegrity.composite.style Description

Styles are used to define the visual appearance of an element. Properties such as a stroke, paint, font and marker can be defined in an XML file. In order to do so, styles make use of so-called Format objects whose classes deal the aforementioned properties. A StyleItem, therefore, contains zero or more stroke, paint, font and/or marker formats within its XML-definition, depending its type and configuration. Please do not feel confused by the redundant style attribute found inside most of these Format definitions. A Style can be a collection of Format items described in XML, a runtime object and even an attribute that is part of a Format definition.
