public class RangeParameter extends Parameter implements RangeIterator, GalaxyConvertible
SimpleParameter
s to be set
to a set of values.RangeParameter
works just like a plain SimpleParameter
. SimpleParameter
s
that are used to construct a RangeParameter
must be rangeable, i.e.
their method SimpleParameter.isRangeable()
must return
true
, or they will be rejected.Modifier and Type | Class and Description |

Constructor and Description |
---|
RangeParameter(SimpleParameter par)
Constructs a
RangeParameter from a SimpleParameter that
is rangeable. |
RangeParameter(StringBuffer representation)
The standard constructor for the interface
Storable . |
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
protected void |
appendFurtherInfos(StringBuffer buf)
This method can be used in the method
Storable.toXML() to extract
further information (name, comment, datatype). |
boolean |
checkValue(Object value)
Checks the value for correctness, e.g.
|
RangeParameter |
clone() |
protected void |
extractFurtherInfos(StringBuffer buf)
This method can be used in the constructor with parameter
StringBuffer to
extract the further information. |
void |
fromGalaxy(String namePrefix,
StringBuffer command)
Parses the contents of
command in the format defined by configBuffer of GalaxyConvertible.toGalaxy(String, String, int, StringBuffer, StringBuffer, boolean)
and sets the values of the Parameter or ParameterSet accordingly. |
static EnumParameter |
getCollectionOfScales()
Returns a
EnumParameter that allows the user to choose
between different scales. |
Object |
getEndValue()
Returns the last value of a range of parameter values or
null if no range was specified. |
String |
getErrorMessage()
If a value could not be set successfully this method returns the
corresponding error message.
|
String |
getList()
Returns a list of all parameter values as a
String or
null if no parameter values have been set. |
int |
getNumberOfNexts(int afterIndex)
Returns the number of calls of
next() that can be done before
obtaining false . |
int |
getNumberOfValues()
Returns the number of values in a list or range of parameter values.
|
String |
getScale()
Returns a description of the the scale of a range of parameter values.
|
Object |
getStartValue()
Returns the start value of a range of parameter values or
null if no range was specified. |
int |
getSteps()
Returns the number of steps of a range of parameter values or
0 if no range was specified. |
Object |
getValue()
Returns the value of the
AnnotatedEntity . |
String |
getXMLTag()
This method returns a tag used as outer tag of the XML description.
|
boolean |
hasDefaultOrIsSet()
Returns
true if the parameter either has a default value or
the value was set by the user, false otherwise. |
boolean |
isAtomic()
Returns
true if the parameter is of an atomic data type,
false otherwise. |
boolean |
isRanged()
Returns
true if this RangeIterator is ranging over a
set of values. |
boolean |
isRequired()
|
boolean |
isSet()
Returns
true if the parameter was set by the user,
false otherwise. |
boolean |
next()
|
void |
reset()
Resets the parameter and its contents to the default values or
null if no defaults are given. |
void |
resetToFirst()
Resets the current value in the collection to the first value.
|
void |
setDefault(Object defaultValue)
Sets the default value of the
Parameter to
defaultValue . |
void |
setValue(Object value)
Sets the value of this
Parameter to value . |
void |
setValues(Object startValue,
int steps,
Object endValue,
RangeParameter.Scale scale)
Sets the values of this
RangeParameter as a range of values,
specified by a start value, a last value, a number of steps between these
values (without the last value) and a scale in that the values between
the first and the last value are chosen. |
void |
setValues(String values)
Sets a list of values from a
String containing a space separated
list of values. |
void |
setValuesInLogScale(boolean log,
double radix,
Object startValue,
int steps,
Object endValue)
This method enables you to set a list of values in an easy manner.
|
RangeParameter.RangeType |
shallBeRanged()
|
void |
toGalaxy(String namePrefix,
String configPrefix,
int depth,
StringBuffer descBuffer,
StringBuffer configBuffer,
boolean addLine)
Creates an Galaxy XML-representation of the parameters and appends it to
descBuffer
and variable configuration and appends it to configBuffer . |
String |
valuesToString()
Returns a
String representation of the set of values. |
