Method Detail

getClone

public UniformMutationStrategy getClone()

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Specified by:

getClone in class MutationStrategy

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

Specified by:

mutate in class MutationStrategy

Parameters:

entity - The list of Entity instances to perform a mutation on.

performOperation

public void performOperation(TopologyHolder holder)

Perform the operator operation given the current TopologyHolder.

Parameters:

holder - The TopologyHolder representing the required Topology instances.
