Constructor Detail

HierarchicalClassLabel

public HierarchicalClassLabel(String name,
                      Pattern regex,
                      String separator)

Constructs a hierarchical class label from the given name, using the given Pattern to match separators of different levels in the given name, and setting the given separator-String to separate different levels in String representations of this HierarchicalClassLabel.

Parameters:

name - a String describing a hierarchical class label

regex - a Pattern to match separators of different levels in the given name

separator - a separator String to separate different levels in the String-representation of this HierarchicalClassLabel

HierarchicalClassLabel

public HierarchicalClassLabel(String label)

Constructs a hierarchical class label from the given name. Different levels are supposed to be separated by points ('.'), as defined by DEFAULT_SEPARATOR. Also, in a String-representation of this HierarchicalClassLabel, different levels get separated by '.'.

Parameters:

label - a String describing a hierarchical class label

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(ClassLabel o)

Compares two HierarchicalClassLabels. Names at higher levels are compared first. Names at a lower level are compared only if their parent-names are equal. Names at a level are tried to be compared as integer values. If this does not succeed, both names are compared as Strings.

depth

public int depth()

The length of the hierarchy of names.

Returns:

length of the hierarchy of names

getNameAt

public String getNameAt(int level)

Returns the name at the given level as a String.

Parameters:

level - the level to return the name at

Returns:

the name at the given level as a String

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representation of this HierarchicalClassLabel using separatorString to separate levels. Any ClassLabel requires a method to represent the label as a String. If ClassLabel a.equals((ClassLabel) b), then also a.toString().equals(b.toString()) should hold.

Specified by:

toString in class ClassLabel

toString

public String toString(int level)

Create a String representation of this ClassLabel comprising only the first level levels.

Parameters:

level - the lowest level to include in the String representation.

Returns:

a String representation of this ClassLabel comprising only the first level levels
