`void`	`postRemove(IRemoveContext context)`	called after remove call.
`void`	`preRemove(IRemoveContext context)`	called prior to remove call.
`void`	`remove(IRemoveContext context)`	Remove the given object.

- Method Detail
  - canRemove
```
boolean canRemove(IRemoveContext context)
```
    Checks if given object could be removed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - contains object to remove
    
    Returns:
    
    true if remove is possible
  - preRemove
```
void preRemove(IRemoveContext context)
```
    called prior to remove call.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the context
  - isRemoveAbort
```
boolean isRemoveAbort()
```
    The Graphiti framework will call this method after preRemove(IRemoveContext) has been called and before the actual remove is done. In case this method returns true, the operation will be cancelled by the Graphiti framework by throwing an OperationCanceledException that causes am EMF revert of the operation.
    Implementing classes might e.g. set a flag in preRemove(IRemoveContext) as cancellation indication and check that that flag here.
    
    Returns:
    
    true in case you want to cancel the current operation, false otherwise.
