Attribute

Direct Known Subclasses:

DoubleAttribute, IntegerAttribute, LongAttribute, ObjectAttribute, StringAttribute
```
public abstract class Attribute<T extends KeyedObject>
extends java.lang.Object
```
Base class for attributes -- int, double, or String values -- which can be assigned to the members of a KeyIndexableSet, e.g. the vertices or edges of a DirectedGraph. The attributes do not track changes in the owning set, but you can check if the owning set has been modified since creation time. It is possible to create an attribute on the vertex set and then remove the vertex from the graph. An attempt to get the value associated with that vertex will cause a NoValueException to be thrown.

    Parameters:
    
    name - name of the attribute
    
    set - set whose members may have attribute values defined
- Method Detail
  - getModificationNumber
```
public long getModificationNumber()
```
    Return the current value of the modificationNumber which counts the number of changes this Attribute has undergone.
  - name
```
public java.lang.String name()
```
    Return the name of this Attribute.
  - owningSet
```
public KeyIndexableSet<T> owningSet()
```
    Return the KeyIndexableSet, typically a VertexSet or EdgeSet, that this attribute is defined for. An attribute value can only be set for a KeyedObject if it is a member of the owningSet.
  - attributeType
```
public abstract java.lang.String attributeType()
```
    Return the type of Attribute, i.e. what kind of values does this attribute hold. "Long", "Object", "Double" are examples.
  - getValueAsString
```
public abstract java.lang.String getValueAsString(KeyedObject o)
```
    Return the attribute of the specified KeyedObject as a String.
  - clear
```
public abstract void clear()
```
    Undefine all values set for this attribute.
