AbstractParameterization

public AbstractParameterization()

Method Detail

getErrors

public Collection<ParameterException> getErrors()

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Get the configuration errors thrown in Parameterization.grab(de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.utilities.optionhandling.parameters.Parameter<?, ?>)

Specified by:

getErrors in interface Parameterization

Returns:

Configuration errors encountered

hasErrors

public boolean hasErrors()

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Return true when there have been errors.

Specified by:

hasErrors in interface Parameterization

Returns:

Success code

reportError

public void reportError(ParameterException e)

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Report a configuration error.

Specified by:

reportError in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

e - Destination to report errors to

logAndClearReportedErrors

public void logAndClearReportedErrors()

Log any error that has accumulated.

clearErrors

public void clearErrors()

Clear errors.

failOnErrors

public void failOnErrors()
                  throws RuntimeException

Fail on errors, log any error that had occurred.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if any error has occurred.

reportInternalParameterizationErrors

public void reportInternalParameterizationErrors(Parameterization config)

Report the internal parameterization errors to another parameterization

Parameters:

config - Other parameterization

grab

public final boolean grab(Parameter<?,?> opt)

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Get the option value from the Parameterization. Note: this method returns success; the actual value can be obtained from opt itself! In particular Parameterization.grab(de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.utilities.optionhandling.parameters.Parameter<?, ?>) can return true when Flag.getValue() returns false! Instead the semantics of grab are those of Parameter#isDefined(). This method will catch ParameterExceptions and store them to be retrieved by Parameterization.getErrors().

Specified by:

grab in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

opt - Option to add

Returns:

if the value is available (= readable)

setValueForOption

public abstract boolean setValueForOption(Parameter<?,?> opt)
                                   throws ParameterException

Perform the actual parameter assignment.

Specified by:

setValueForOption in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

opt - Option to be set

Returns:

Success code (value available)

Throws:

ParameterException - on assignment errors.

finalize

public void finalize()

Upon destruction, report any errors that weren't handled yet.

Overrides:

finalize in class Object

checkConstraint

public boolean checkConstraint(GlobalParameterConstraint constraint)

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Check a parameter constraint.

Specified by:

checkConstraint in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

constraint - Parameter constraint

Returns:

test result

tryInstantiate

public <C> C tryInstantiate(Class<C> r,
                   Class<?> c)

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Try to instantiate a particular class.

Specified by:

tryInstantiate in interface Parameterization

Type Parameters:

C - return type

Parameters:

r - Restriction class

c - Base class

Returns:

class instance or null

tryInstantiate

public <C> C tryInstantiate(Class<C> c)

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Try to instantiate a particular class.

Specified by:

tryInstantiate in interface Parameterization

Type Parameters:

C - return type

Parameters:

c - Base class

Returns:

class instance or null
