- Method Detail
  - execute
```
void execute(GraphJobListener listener)
```
    Tells this job to do its work. This call will be on the Swing thread. It is required that the given listener be called on the Swing thread when the job is finished.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener this job is expected to call when its work is finished
  - canShortcut
```
boolean canShortcut()
```
    Returns true if the job can be told to stop running, but to still perform any final work before being done.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the job can be shortcut
  - shortcut
```
void shortcut()
```
    Tells this job to stop running, but to still perform any final work before being done.
    Note: if your job is multi-threaded, then you must make sure to end your thread and work before returning from this method. If that cannot be done in a timely manner, then your canShortcut() should return false.
  - isFinished
```
boolean isFinished()
```
    Returns true if this job has finished its work
