# Package weka.knowledgeflow.steps

- Interface Summary
  Interface | Description

  BoundaryPlotter.RenderingUpdateListener | Interface for something that wants to be informed of rendering progress updates
  DataCollector | Auxiliary interface for steps that collect data results of some type - e.g.
  PairedDataHelper.PairedProcessor<P> | Interface for processors of paired data to implement.
  Step | Client API for Knowledge Flow steps.
  StripChart.PlotNotificationListener | StripChartInteractiveView implements this in order to receive data points.
