```
java.util.Map<VTStyleProperty,java.lang.Double> getStyleProperties(VElement vElement,
                                                                         ViewModelContext viewModelContext)
```
    Return all StyleProperties which are applicable to the provided VElement. The keys of the map are the StyleProperties and the values the corresponding specificities.
    The returned values might be cached by the caller. Therefore, for the same arguments, the ViewTemplateSupplier is expected to return the same map of StyleProperties and specificities.
    
    Parameters:
    
    vElement - the VElement to get the StyleProperties for
    
    viewModelContext - the ViewModelContext currently in use
    
    Returns:
    
    the map of all StyleProperties and their specificities for the given VElement or an empty map
  - getViewTemplates
```
java.util.Set<VTViewTemplate> getViewTemplates()
```
    Returns a copy of the view templates known to this supplier. Modifications on the copies will not influence any future calls on the ViewTemplateSupplier
    
    Returns:
    
    a copy of the VTViewTemplates or an empty set
