Reset the state of this moleculareInformation to: Calls Information::clear.

• type is set to TYPE__UNKNOWN

Type BALL::MolecularInformation::getType

(

)

const

Return the type of the given composite.

If the given Composite is of any kind that is defined by the enumeration Type this type will be returned.

Returns:

Type the type of the Composite

visit

virtual void BALL::MolecularInformation::visit

(

Composite &

composite

)

[virtual]

Visit method.

This method tries to determine the name and the type of the Composite object. If the type of composite returned from the method getType is one of the defined type of Type than that name and type is set to the variables name_ and type_name_. If the type is TYPE__UNKOWN than the method getType is called to determine the type.

Parameters:

composite

the Composite object whose information should be extracted
