Class DataTreeBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.jgap.data.DataTreeBuilder

public class DataTreeBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

Builds a tree structure from Genes, Chrosomes or from a Genotype.

Generated result is generic data type usable for concrete persistence strategies, including XML documents, writing an object to a file or stream etc.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static DataTreeBuilder getInstance()

Returns:

the singleton instance of this class

Since:

2.0

representGenotypeAsDocument

public IDataCreators representGenotypeAsDocument(Genotype a_subject)
                                          throws java.lang.Exception

Represent a Genotype as a generic data document, including its population of Chromosome instances.

Parameters:

a_subject - the genotype to represent

Returns:

a generic document object representing the given Genotype

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

Since:

2.0

representGenotypeAsElement

public IDataElement representGenotypeAsElement(Genotype a_subject)
                                        throws java.lang.Exception

Represent a Genotype as a generic data element, including its population of Chromosome instances. This may be useful in scenarios where representation as an entire document is undesirable, such as when the representation of this Genotype is to be combined with other elements in a single document.

Parameters:

a_subject - the genotype to represent

Returns:

an element object representing the given Genotype

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

Since:

2.0

representChromosomeAsDocument

public IDataCreators representChromosomeAsDocument(IChromosome a_subject)
                                            throws java.lang.Exception

Represent a Chromosome as a generic data type document, including its contained Gene instances.

Parameters:

a_subject - the chromosome to represent

Returns:

a document object representing the given Chromosome

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

Since:

2.0

representChromosomeAsElement

public IDataElement representChromosomeAsElement(IChromosome a_subject)
                                          throws java.lang.Exception

Represent a Chromosome as a generic data element, including its contained Gene instances. This may be useful in scenarios where representation as an entire document is undesirable, such as when the representation of this Chromosome is to be combined with other elements in a single document.

Parameters:

a_subject - the chromosome to represent

Returns:

an element object representing the given Chromosome

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

Since:

2.0

representGenesAsElement

public IDataElement representGenesAsElement(Gene[] a_geneValues)
                                     throws java.lang.Exception

Represent Genes as a generic data type element.

Parameters:

a_geneValues - the genes to represent

Returns:

an element object representing the given genes

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

Since:

2.0

representGeneAsElement

public IDataElement representGeneAsElement(Gene a_gene)
                                    throws java.lang.Exception

Represent a Gene as a generic data element.

Parameters:

a_gene - the Gene to represent

Returns:

an element object representing the given gene

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
