Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`BRACKET` a SelectItem appears with a "bracket" spanning all top-level clauses, exactly the same appearance used for showing `subClauses`, if enabled.
`INLINE` each line in the FilterBuilder is a top-level item, with a SelectItem shown on the left that allows the user to choose between the main operator in force (either "and" or "or", depending on the setting of topOperator) and "and not".
`NONE` no interface is shown.
`RADIO` radio buttons appear at the top of the form

- Enum Constant Detail
  - RADIO
```
public static final TopOperatorAppearance RADIO
```
    radio buttons appear at the top of the form
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "radio".
  - BRACKET
```
public static final TopOperatorAppearance BRACKET
```
    a SelectItem appears with a "bracket" spanning all top-level clauses, exactly the same appearance used for showing subClauses, if enabled.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "bracket".
  - INLINE
```
public static final TopOperatorAppearance INLINE
```
    each line in the FilterBuilder is a top-level item, with a SelectItem shown on the left that allows the user to choose between the main operator in force (either "and" or "or", depending on the setting of topOperator) and "and not".
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "inline".
  - NONE
```
public static final TopOperatorAppearance NONE
```
    no interface is shown. The top-level operator is expected to be shown to the user outside the FilterBuilder, and, if editable, FilterBuilder.setTopOperator() should be called to update it
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "none".

  - values
```
public static TopOperatorAppearance[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (TopOperatorAppearance c : TopOperatorAppearance.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static TopOperatorAppearance valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
