Package org.biojava.bio.symbol
Class MergeLocation
java.lang.Object
org.biojava.bio.symbol.AbstractLocation
org.biojava.bio.symbol.AbstractRangeLocation
org.biojava.bio.symbol.RangeLocation
org.biojava.bio.symbol.MergeLocation
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Location
Produced by LocationTools as a result of union operations.
It's a
RangeLocation
and can be used
as such but it also retains knowledge of which individual components made
it up. None of the methods of RangeLocation are overridden only new methods
have been added to get the subcomponents.
For example a union operation between the following locations
[1,20],[27,45],[30-70] will produce a CompoundLocation
like this: {[1,20],[27,70]}, the last two locations have been merged into a
MergeLocation
which contains the two subcomponents.

Method Details
-
getComponentList
Gets the component locations that make up this one- Parameters:
recurse
- if true the method lists the component locations of all nestedMergedLocation
s.- Returns:
- a
List
ofLocation
s.
-
componentLocationIterator
- Returns:
- A
ListIterator
over the component locations. The iterator does not recurse nested MergeLocations.
-
mergeLocations
Static Factory method for getting an instance of aMergeLocation
- Parameters:
componentLocations
- theLocations to Merge
- Returns:
- the merged location
- Throws:
BioException
- if the list contains objects that are notLocations
or if the locations don't represent a contiguous block. UseLocationTools.union()
if you want to merge discontinuous blocks.
