MorphConfig

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArthromorphConfig, ColourBiomorphConfig, MonochromeMorphConfig, SimpleMorphConfig, SnailConfig
```
public interface MorphConfig
```
MorphConfig provides access to the objects which support the creation, reproduction, mutation, development of a particular kind of Morph, independent of implementation-specific graphics drawing paradigm. Access to the application as a whole, and its graphical user interface set, is maintained through MorphConfig's association with an instance of the AppData class.
