Interface SelectViaCopyToArray<T extends FeatureStructure>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the element

All Known Implementing Classes:

FSArray, FSArrayList, FSHashSet

public interface SelectViaCopyToArray<T extends FeatureStructure>

Classes which provide a toArrayForSelect() method that returns a FeatureStructure[] can implement this to enable the class to be used as a "select" source T extends FeatureStructure because FSArray with no typing needs to default to FeatureStructure for backwards compatibility
