Method Detail

canConnect

public static boolean canConnect(java.lang.Object source,
                                 java.lang.Object target)

Checks if two elements of a neural network can be attached Warning: This method is sensitive to the order of the elements. Example: canConnect(Layer, StreamInputSynapse) returns false canConnect(StreamInputSynapse, Layer) returns true

Parameters:

source - he source element

target - The target element

Returns:

true if the connection can be established

connect

public static boolean connect(java.lang.Object source,
                              java.lang.Object media,
                              java.lang.Object target)

Connects two elements of a neural network Warning: This method is sensitive to the order of the elements. Example: connect(Layer, null, StreamInputSynapse) returns false connect(StreamInputSynapse, null, Layer) returns true

Parameters:

source - The source element

target - The target element

media - If both source and target are Layers, this parameter contains the Synapse to use to connect them, otherwise null

Returns:

true if the connection has been established

disconnect

public static boolean disconnect(java.lang.Object source,
                                 java.lang.Object target)

Disconnects two elements. Warning: This method is sensitive to the order of the elements. If this method returns false when called with (obj1, obj2) as parameters, you should recall it using the parameters in reverse order (obj2, obj1)

Parameters:

source - The source element to disconnect

target - The target element to disconnect

Returns:

true if the two elements have been disconnected
