Constructor Detail

AlphabetContainerParameterSet

public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(boolean discrete,
                                     boolean simple)

Creates a new AlphabetContainerParameterSet. If discrete is true, only the parameters for discrete Alphabets 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 Parameters

AlphabetContainerParameterSet

public AlphabetContainerParameterSet(Alphabet[] alphabets)
                              throws Exception

Creates a new AlphabetContainerParameterSet from an array of Alphabets.

Parameters:

alphabets - the Alphabets

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurred during the creation of the appropriate Parameters

AlphabetContainerParameterSet

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

Creates a new AlphabetContainerParameterSet from an array of Alphabets and an array of ints defining the number of the alphabet in alphabets that is used for that position in indexes.

Parameters:

alphabets - the Alphabets

indexes - the indexes

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurred during the creation of the appropriate Parameters

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 DiscreteAlphabetParameterSets.

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

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
