public abstract interface ProbeMapC
extends SwarmObjectS, SwarmObjectC

A container class for Probes used to specify the contents of a ProbeDisplay.. A ProbeMap is a Map-type collection of Probes. They are used to gather several Probes, who usually have a common referent, into a single bundle. For example, all the instance variables of a ModelSwarm might be gathered into a single ProbeMap. Each ProbeMap is then installed into the global ProbeLibrary.
