Constructor Detail

### AlphabetContainerParameterSet

    public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(boolean discrete,
                                         boolean simple)

  Creates a new `AlphabetContainerParameterSet`. If `discrete` is `true`, only the parameters for discrete `Alphabet`s are defined. Is `simple` is `true`, only a single alphabet is expected.

  Parameters:
    `discrete` - if the alphabet(s) shall be discrete
    `simple` - if there shall be only a single `Alphabet`

### AlphabetContainerParameterSet

    public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(StringBuffer representation)
                                  throws NonParsableException

  Creates a new `AlphabetContainerParameterSet` from its XML-representation.

  Parameters:
    `representation` - the XML-representation
  Throws:
    `NonParsableException` - is thrown if `representation` could not be parsed

### AlphabetContainerParameterSet

    public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(Alphabet alph)
                                  throws Exception

  Creates a new `AlphabetContainerParameterSet` from a single `Alphabet`.

  Parameters:
    `alph` - the `Alphabet`
  Throws:
    `Exception` - is thrown if an error occurred during the creation of the appropriate `Parameter`s

### AlphabetContainerParameterSet

    public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(Alphabet[] alphabets)
                                  throws Exception

  Creates a new `AlphabetContainerParameterSet` from an array of `Alphabet`s.

  Parameters:
    `alphabets` - the `Alphabet`s
  Throws:
    `Exception` - is thrown if an error occurred during the creation of the appropriate `Parameter`s

### AlphabetContainerParameterSet

    public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(Alphabet[] alphabets,
                                         int[] indexes)
                                  throws Exception

  Creates a new `AlphabetContainerParameterSet` from an array of `Alphabet`s and an array of `int`s defining the number of the alphabet in `alphabets` that is used for that position in `indexes`.

  Parameters:
    `alphabets` - the `Alphabet`s
    `indexes` - the indexes
  Throws:
    `Exception` - is thrown if an error occurred during the creation of the appropriate `Parameter`s

Method Detail

### clone

    public AlphabetContainerParameterSet 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 fulfils the conventions of `Object`'s method `clone()`

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `ParameterSet`
  Returns:
    a deep clone of this `ParameterSet`
  Throws:
    `CloneNotSupportedException`

### isDiscrete

    public boolean isDiscrete()

  If this method returns `true` all postions use `DiscreteAlphabetParameterSet`s.

  Returns:
    `true` if all postions are discrete

### isSimple

    public boolean isSimple()

  If this method returns `true` all postions use the same alphabet.

  Returns:
    `true` if all postions use the same alphabet

### toXML

    public StringBuffer toXML()

  Description copied from interface: `Storable`
  This method returns an XML-representation of an instance of the implementing class.

  Specified by:
    `toXML` in interface `Storable`
  Overrides:
    `toXML` in class `ParameterSet`
  Returns:
    the XML-representation

### fromXML

    protected void fromXML(StringBuffer representation)
                    throws NonParsableException

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Parses the instance fields of a `ParameterSet` from the XML-representation as returned by `ParameterSet.toXML()`.

  Overrides:
    `fromXML` in class `ParameterSet`
  Parameters:
    `representation` - the XML-representation
  Throws:
    `NonParsableException` - is thrown if the XML-code could not be parsed

### getPossibleLength

    public int getPossibleLength()

  Returns the length of the alphabet that can be instantiated using this set.

  Returns:
    the length

### loadParameters

    protected void loadParameters()
                           throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Loads the parameters for this `ParameterSet`. This is in most cases done by simply creating a new `ArrayList<Parameter>` for the field `parameters/code> and filling it with instances of subclasses of `Parameter`

  `
  Specified by:
    `loadParameters` in class `ParameterSet`
  Throws:
    `Exception` - an `Exception` is thrown if the parameters could not be loaded
  See Also:
    `ParameterSet.parameters`, `Parameter`

### getInstanceName

    public String getInstanceName()

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Returns the name of an instance of the class that can be constructed using this `ParameterSet`.

  Specified by:
    `getInstanceName` in class `ParameterSet`
  Returns:
    the name

### getInstanceComment

    public String getInstanceComment()

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Returns a comment (a textual description) of the class that can be constructed using this `ParameterSet`.

  Specified by:
    `getInstanceComment` in class `ParameterSet`
  Returns:
    the comment
