Class PointerType

java.lang.Object
net.didion.jwnl.data.PointerType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class PointerType extends Object implements Serializable
Instances of this class enumerate the possible WordNet pointer types, and are used to label PointerTypes. Each PointerType carries additional information: a human-readable label, an optional reflexive type that labels links pointing the opposite direction, an encoding of parts-of-speech that it applies to, and a short string that represents it in the dictionary files.
