Interface LogicalElement<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of element (e.g., a bitmap class)

All Known Implementing Classes:

EWAHCompressedBitmap, EWAHCompressedBitmap32

public interface LogicalElement<T>

A prototypical model for bitmaps. Used by the class FastAggregation. Users should probably not be concerned by this class.
