All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Runnable, WandoraTool, WandoraToolLogger, TopicMapLogger

public class CopyEdgePath
extends AbstractWandoraTool
implements WandoraTool

Copies a tabulator separated topic list to system clipboard. Topic list contains player topics of a given association type and a role type. Player topic set is limited to topics that can be reached from the selected topic and selected association.

For example, think binary associations: a-b, b-c, d-e, e-f. Here letters a through f represent players of association. As you can easy figure there is an association chain from a to f as you can travel from a to f using the association. Now lets think you have selected association b-c and player b. Running this tool with this selection copies system clipboard a list of topics b, c, d, e, f. If you select association b-c and the player c, your clipboard ends up to contain player topics c, b, a.

Tool can be used to locate a root node of tree like association set, for example. Super-subclass relations form usually a tree type association structure.
