Method Details

tag

protected String tag()

Description copied from class: Node

Retrieves the tag associated with this node. This tag is typically used to denote the type or category of the node in contexts such as SVG generation or XML representation.

Note: If null is returned, it indicates that the node does not have a specific tag and may be treated as a generic group. In such cases, only inner content and extra content are considered.

Overrides:

tag in class Node<E extends Element<E>>

Returns:

A string representing the tag of the node. The default implementation returns "g".

styles

protected String styles()

Description copied from class: Node

Retrieves the styles associated with this node. This method is typically overridden by subclasses to provide specific styling information related to the node's state or properties.

Overrides:

styles in class Node<E extends Element<E>>

Returns:

A string representing the styles of the node, or null if no styles are defined.

getStyles

public Styles getStyles()

Retrieves the styles associated with this SVG element.

Returns:

An instance of Styles containing the style properties for this element in the form of key-value pairs.
