Interface java.text.MutableAttributeSet

public interface MutableAttributeSet

extends AttributeSet

Functions taking AttributeSet as an argument maintain no reference to the attribute set itself. Thus a mutable attribute set may be safely passed to these functions, and later modifications to that set will not affect the contents of this set.

Implementations will probably want to provide a constructor of the form:
public XXXMutableAttributeSet(AttributeSet source);
