◆ convert() [1/3]

static void convert ( ConsensusMap const &  input_map,
const bool  keep_uids,
FeatureMap output_map 
)
static

Convert a ConsensusMap to a FeatureMap (of any feature type).

The previous content of output_map is cleared. UID's of the elements and the container is copied if the keep_uids flag is set.

Parameters
input_mapThe container to be converted.
keep_uidsShall the UID's of the elements and the container be kept or created anew
output_mapThe resulting ConsensusMap.

◆ convert() [2/3]

static void convert ( UInt64 const  input_map_index,
FeatureMap const &  input_map,
ConsensusMap output_map,
Size  n = -1 
)
static

Convert a FeatureMap (of any feature type) to a ConsensusMap.

Each ConsensusFeature contains a map index, so this has to be given as well. The previous content of output_map is cleared. An arguable design decision is that the unique id of the FeatureMap is copied (!) to the ConsensusMap, because that is the way it is meant to be used in the algorithms.

Only the first (!) n elements are copied. (This parameter exists mainly for compatibility with convert for MSExperiments. To use it in a meaningful way, apply one of the sorting methods to input_map beforehand.)

Parameters
input_map_indexThe index of the input map.
input_mapThe container to be converted.
output_mapThe resulting ConsensusMap.
nThe maximum number of elements to be copied.

◆ convert() [3/3]

static void convert ( UInt64 const  input_map_index,
PeakMap input_map,
ConsensusMap output_map,
Size  n = -1 
)
static

Similar to convert for FeatureMaps.

Only the n most intense elements are copied.

Currently PeakMap does not have a unique id but ConsensusMap has one, so we assign a new one here.

Parameters
input_map_indexThe index of the input map.
input_mapThe input map to be converted.
output_mapThe resulting ConsensusMap.
nThe maximum number of elements to be copied.
