Return an ordering score for an item. The default scoring imparts
the following order:
hover items > highlighted items > items in the
prefuse.Visualization.FOCUS_ITEMS set >
prefuse.Visualization.SEARCH_ITEMS set >
DecoratorItem instances > normal VisualItem instances. A zero
score is returned for normal items, with scores starting at
1<<27 for other items, leaving the number range beneath that
value open for additional nuanced scoring.
Subclasses can override this method to provide custom sorting
criteria.
Parameters: item - the VisualItem to provide an ordering score the ordering score |
