Filter (gephi 0.9.3 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

ComplexFilter, EdgeFilter, ElementFilter<K>, NodeFilter, Operator, RangeFilter
```
public interface Filter
```
Filters are pruning the graph by keeping only nodes and edges that satisfy filters conditions. Filters are predicates or functions that reduce the graph and therefore create sub-graphs.
Filters are the basic building blocks that are wrapped in queries and assembled to make simple or complex conditions on nodes and edges.
Filters objects are built in FilterBuilder. Implementors should define their own FilterBuilder class to propose new filter to users.
