Field Summary

Fields inherited from interface org.biojavax.bio.seq.Position

BETWEEN_BASES, EMPTY_POSITION, IN_RANGE

Constructor Summary

protected	SimplePosition()
	SimplePosition(boolean fs, boolean fe, int p) Constructs a point position, with optionally fuzzy start and end.
	SimplePosition(boolean fs, boolean fe, int s, int e, String t) Constructs a range position, with optionally fuzzy start and end.
	SimplePosition(int p) Constructs a point position, with no fuzzy start or end.
	SimplePosition(int s, int e) Constructs a range position, with no fuzzy start or end.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object o) Two positions are equal if they share all parameters in common, eg.
int	getEnd() Returns the end of the range of bases this base could lie in.
boolean	getFuzzyEnd() Returns true if the position has a fuzzy end.
boolean	getFuzzyStart() Returns true if the position has a fuzzy start.
int	getStart() Returns the beginning of the range of bases this base could lie in.
String	getType() Returns the type of this position if it is not a point/single position.
String	toString()
Position	translate(int distance) Takes this position and returns a copy translated by 'distance' bases.

Constructor Detail

SimplePosition

public SimplePosition(int p)

Constructs a point position, with no fuzzy start or end. (eg. 1, 2, or 3).

Parameters:

p - the point position

SimplePosition

public SimplePosition(int s,
                      int e)

Constructs a range position, with no fuzzy start or end. (eg. 1..2, 2..5, or 3..8).

Parameters:

s - the start position

e - the end position

SimplePosition

public SimplePosition(boolean fs,
                      boolean fe,
                      int p)

Constructs a point position, with optionally fuzzy start and end. (eg. <1 or 3> or 2 or even <5>).

Parameters:

fs - fuzzy start?

fe - fuzzy end?

p - the point position

SimplePosition

public SimplePosition(boolean fs,
                      boolean fe,
                      int s,
                      int e,
                      String t)

Constructs a range position, with optionally fuzzy start and end. (eg. <1.2 or 1^3> or 2.2 or even <5^6>). The type of the range is given, it should normally be one of the two defined in the Position interface, but its up to you.

Parameters:

fs - fuzzy start?

fe - fuzzy end?

s - the start of the position

e - the end of the position

t - the type of the position

Method Detail

getFuzzyStart

public boolean getFuzzyStart()

Returns true if the position has a fuzzy start.

Specified by:

getFuzzyStart in interface Position

Returns:

the fuzziness of the start.

getFuzzyEnd

public boolean getFuzzyEnd()

Returns true if the position has a fuzzy end.

Specified by:

getFuzzyEnd in interface Position

Returns:

the fuzziness of the end.

getStart

public int getStart()

Returns the beginning of the range of bases this base could lie in. If this position is a single position, then start=end.

Specified by:

getStart in interface Position

Returns:

the start of this position.

getEnd

public int getEnd()

Returns the end of the range of bases this base could lie in. If this position is a single position, then start=end.

Specified by:

getEnd in interface Position

Returns:

the end of this position.

getType

public String getType()

Returns the type of this position if it is not a point/single position. Types are usually BETWEEN_BASES or IN_RANGE but could be any string value.

Specified by:

getType in interface Position

Returns:

the type of this position.

translate

public Position translate(int distance)

Takes this position and returns a copy translated by 'distance' bases.

Specified by:

translate in interface Position

Parameters:

distance - the distance to translate it.

Returns:

the translated position.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Two positions are equal if they share all parameters in common, eg. fuzzy start+end, start, end, type.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
