Class NamedPropertyObject

java.lang.Object
  byucc.edif.NamedPropertyObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

Nameable, Properties, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

EdifCell, EdifCellInstance, EdifDesign, EdifEnvironment, EdifLibrary, EdifNet, EdifPort, EdifSingleBitPort

public abstract class NamedPropertyObject
extends java.lang.Object
implements Nameable, Properties, java.io.Serializable

Represents a container class that contains an EdifNameable object (to define the name of this object) as well as a PropertyList object to store all properties of the object. This class is a useful base class for many of the Edif objects used in this package.

To save memory, this class will not create any PropertyList object unless properties are added to the object.
