Detailed Description

Generic object class. This class provides unique handles for every object that is an instance of a derived class of object. Together with the BALL object manager this class also provides a double linked list of all objects.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void BALL::Object::clear ( )

virtual

Clear function of the OCI, doing nothing here.

Reimplemented in BALL::Atom, BALL::Bond, BALL::NamedProperty, BALL::PDBAtom, BALL::Composite, BALL::TVector2< T >, BALL::TVector2< float >, BALL::Residue, BALL::PDBRecords, BALL::VIEW::RepresentationManager, BALL::Nucleotide, BALL::SecondaryStructure, BALL::AtomContainer, BALL::NucleicAcid, BALL::Protein, and BALL::PDBInfo.

int BALL::Object::compare

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Compare the handle of this object with the handle of another.

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

0, if both objects are equal, -1 if object's handle is greater and 1 if this's handle is greater.

virtual void BALL::Object::dump ( ::std::ostream &  s = std::cout, Size  depth = 0  ) const

virtual

Handle BALL::Object::getHandle

(

)

const

Return the global handle of this object.

Returns

the handle of this object

static Handle BALL::Object::getNewHandle ( )

static

Return the next available handle and increase the global handle counter.

Returns

the next available handle

static Handle BALL::Object::getNextHandle ( )

static

Return the next available handle without changing the global handle counter.

Returns

the next available handle

virtual bool BALL::Object::isValid ( ) const

virtual

Reimplemented in BALL::Composite, BALL::Atom, BALL::Bond, BALL::Residue, BALL::AtomContainer, BALL::TVector2< T >, BALL::TVector2< float >, BALL::SecondaryStructure, BALL::Protein, BALL::Nucleotide, and BALL::NucleicAcid.

bool BALL::Object::operator!=

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Inequality operator. This operator checks Object features only, i. e. the handle.

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

true, if object and this are not the same object, false ow.

bool BALL::Object::operator<

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Less than operator. This method checks whether the handle of this object is less than the handle of object

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

true, if the handle of this is less than the handle of object

bool BALL::Object::operator<=

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Less than or equal operator. This method checks whether the handle of this object is less than or equal to the handle of object

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

true, if the handle of this is less than or equal to the handle of object

const Object& BALL::Object::operator=

(

const Object &

)

Assignment operator. This method does not assign anything! Implemented just for the OCI.

Parameters

object

an object

Returns

this object

bool BALL::Object::operator==

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Equality operator. This operator checks Object features only, i. e. the handle.

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

true, if object and this are the same, false ow.

bool BALL::Object::operator>

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Greater than operator. This method checks whether the handle of this object is greater than the handle of object

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

true, if the handle of this is greater than the handle of object

bool BALL::Object::operator>=

(

const Object &

object

)

const

Greater than or equal operator. This method checks whether the handle of this object is greater than or equal to the handle of object

Parameters

object

an Object

Returns

true, if the handle of this is greater than or equal to the handle of object
