All Superinterfaces:

DataClass, PropertyHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

IntervalClassImpl
```
public interface IntervalClass
extends DataClass
```
Interval Classes are used to create data objects that specify a range of values. Therefore, a base data class must be specified to define the type of the elements. Of course, intervals can be only defined for data classes with totally ordered instances, see InstanceTotalOrderPredicate.

  - getElementClass
```
AtomicClass getElementClass()
```
    Receive the element class of the interval.
    An interval can only be specified for another AtomicClass. Additionally, the AtomicClass must specify totally ordered instances.
    
    Returns:
    
    An AtomicClass with totally ordered instances.
  - setElementClass
```
void setElementClass(AtomicClass elementClass)
              throws IllegalEditException
```
    Specify the element class of the interval.
    An interval can only be specified for another AtomicClass. Additionally, the AtomicClass must specify totally ordered instances.
    
    Parameters:
    
    elementClass - An AtomicClass with totally ordered instances.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalEditException
