de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.utilities.optionhandling.parameterization.TrackParameters

All Implemented Interfaces:

Parameterization

public class TrackParameters
extends Object
implements Parameterization

Utility wrapper to track parameters for a configuration session. All actual Parameterization operations are forwarded to the inner class.

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

grab

public 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)

hasUnusedParameters

public boolean hasUnusedParameters()

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Check for unused parameters

Specified by:

hasUnusedParameters in interface Parameterization

Returns:

true if at least one parameter was not consumed

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

setValueForOption

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

Description copied from interface: Parameterization

Assign a value for an option, but not using default values and throwing exceptions on error.

Specified by:

setValueForOption in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

opt - Parameter to set

Returns:

Success code

Throws:

ParameterException - on assignment errors.

getAllParameters

public Collection<Pair<Object,Parameter<?,?>>> getAllParameters()

Get all seen parameters, set or unset, along with their owner objects.

Returns:

Parameters seen

getGivenParameters

public Collection<Pair<OptionID,Object>> getGivenParameters()

Get the tracked parameters that were actually set.

Returns:

Parameters given

checkConstraint

public boolean checkConstraint(GlobalParameterConstraint constraint)

Check a parameter constraint.

Specified by:

checkConstraint in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

constraint - Parameter constraint

Returns:

test result

descend

public Parameterization descend(Object option)

Descend parameterization tree into sub-option. Note: this is done automatically by a ClassParameter.instantiateClass(de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.utilities.optionhandling.parameterization.Parameterization). You only need to call this when you want to expose the tree structure without offering a class choice as parameter. Track parameters using a shared options list with parent tracker.

Specified by:

descend in interface Parameterization

Parameters:

option - Option subtree

Returns:

Parameterization

registerChild

private void registerChild(Object opt)

getParent

public Object getParent(Object pos)

Traverse the tree upwards.

Parameters:

pos - Current object

Returns:

Parent object

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
