/**
 * A {@link MarginType} indicates whether a {@link Segment} corresponds to the visual edge
 * of the node, or whether it is offset by a margin in the edge's direction, or whether
 * it's both (which is the case when the margin is 0).
 * <p>
 * We need to keep track of the distinction because different constraints apply
 * differently w.r.t. margins. Let's say you have a target node with a 50 dp margin in all
 * directions. If you layout_alignTop with this node, the match will be on the visual
 * bounds of the target node (ignoring the margin). If you layout_above this node, you
 * will be offset by the margin on the target node. Therefore, we have to add <b>both</b>
 * edges (the bounds of the target node with and without edges) and check for matches on
 * each edge depending on the constraint being considered.
 * <p>
 * <b>NOTE: This is not a public or final API; if you rely on this be prepared
 * to adjust your code for the next tools release.</b>
