Constructor Detail

AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet

protected AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet(Class<? extends T> instanceClass)

Constructs an AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet from the class that can be instantiated using this AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet.

Parameters:

instanceClass - the class to be instantiated

AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet

protected AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet(StringBuffer xml)
                                                           throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Creates a new AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet out of its XML representation.

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet could not be reconstructed out of the XML representation (the StringBuffer representation could not be parsed)

InstanceParameterSet.InstanceParameterSet(StringBuffer), Storable

Method Detail

getPossibleLength

public abstract int getPossibleLength()

Returns the length of the AlphabetContainer that can be instantiated using this ParameterSet.

Returns:

the length

See Also:

AlphabetContainer.getPossibleLength()

isDiscrete

public abstract boolean isDiscrete()

Indicates if all positions use DiscreteAlphabet.DiscreteAlphabetParameterSet, i.e. if all Alphabets of the corresponding AlphabetContainer are discrete.

Returns:

true if all positions are discrete, false otherwise

See Also:

AlphabetContainer.isDiscrete()

isSimple

public abstract boolean isSimple()

Indicates if all positions use the same Alphabet, i.e. if the corresponding AlphabetContainer is simple.

Returns:

true if all positions use the same Alphabet, false otherwise

clone

public AlphabetContainer.AbstractAlphabetContainerParameterSet<T> clone()
                                                                                           throws CloneNotSupportedException

Description copied from class: ParameterSet

Creates a full clone (deep copy) of this ParameterSet. As a convenience-method the user can use fillWithStandardFieldsForClone(ParameterSet) on a newly created instance of a subclass of ParameterSet to obtain a clone/copy of all standard member variables (those already defined in ParameterSet) in the passed ParameterSet. Using this method, the cloning process becomes merely three-step:

• Create a new instance of your subclass of ParameterSet, most likely with an empty constructor or the one taking just the instance class.
• Call this.fillWithStandardFieldsForClone on this instance.
• Return the instance.

This method fulfills the conventions of Object's method Object.clone().

Overrides:

clone in class ParameterSet

Returns:

a deep clone/copy of this ParameterSet

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException
