SnapshotWriter (MATSim 12.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

KmlSnapshotWriter, TransimsSnapshotWriter
```
public interface SnapshotWriter
```
Interface to implement custom snapshot writers. A snapshot contains information about agents (location, speed) at a specific moment in time. Depending on the format, multiple snapshots can be stored in one file. A snapshot writer should implement a custom constructor to initialize it. For each snapshot, first the method beginSnapshot() will be called, followed by several calls to addAgent() and a final call to endSnapshot(). When no more snapshots will have to be written, finish() is called.
