Type Parameters:

public class GraphGUIHelperFactory
extends Object

This factory provides access to the GraphGUIHelper corresponding to a specific graph class The factory itself is managed as a singleton. The instances of GraphGUIHelper are managed through a map establishing the correspondence between graph class and GraphGUIHelper instance. Theses instances are generated using the Service Provider interface implying each GraphGUIHelper extension have to declare the annotation "@MetaInfServices(GraphGUIHelper)" A user may access statically to the factory singleton through the getFactory method and then call the getGraphGUIHelper method to obtain the helper instance
