Constructor Detail

BondCountDescriptor

public BondCountDescriptor()
Constructor for the BondCountDescriptor object

Method Detail

getSpecification

public DescriptorSpecification getSpecification()
Gets the specification attribute of the BondCountDescriptor object

Specified by:
getSpecification in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
The specification value

setParameters

public void setParameters(java.lang.Object[] params)
                   throws CDKException
Sets the parameters attribute of the BondCountDescriptor object

Specified by:
setParameters in interface IDescriptor
Parameters:
params - The new parameters value
Throws:
CDKException - Description of the Exception
See Also:
IDescriptor.getParameters()

getParameters

public java.lang.Object[] getParameters()
Gets the parameters attribute of the BondCountDescriptor object

Specified by:
getParameters in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
The parameters value
See Also:
IDescriptor.setParameters(java.lang.Object[])

getDescriptorNames

@TestMethod(value="testNamesConsistency")
public java.lang.String[] getDescriptorNames()
Description copied from interface: IDescriptor
Returns an array of names for each descriptor value calculated.

Many descriptors return multiple values. In general it is useful for the descriptor to indicate the names for each value.

In many cases, these names can be as simple as X1, X2, ..., XN where X is a prefix and 1, 2, ..., N are the indices. On the other hand it is also possible to return other arbitrary names, which should be documented in the Javadocs for the decsriptor (e.g., the CPSA descriptor).

Note that by default if a descriptor returns a single value (such as ALOGPDescriptor the return array will have a single element

Specified by:
getDescriptorNames in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
An array of descriptor names, equal in length to the number of descriptor calculated..

calculate

public DescriptorValue calculate(IAtomContainer container)
This method calculate the number of bonds of a given type in an atomContainer

Specified by:
calculate in interface IMolecularDescriptor
Parameters:
container - AtomContainer
Returns:
The number of bonds of a certain type.

getDescriptorResultType

public IDescriptorResult getDescriptorResultType()
Returns the specific type of the DescriptorResult object.

The return value from this method really indicates what type of result will be obtained from the DescriptorValue object. Note that the same result can be achieved by interrogating the DescriptorValue object; this method allows you to do the same thing, without actually calculating the descriptor.

Specified by:
getDescriptorResultType in interface IMolecularDescriptor
Returns:
an object that implements the IDescriptorResult interface indicating the actual type of values returned by the descriptor in the DescriptorValue object

getParameterNames

public java.lang.String[] getParameterNames()
Gets the parameterNames attribute of the BondCountDescriptor object

Specified by:
getParameterNames in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
The parameterNames value

getParameterType

public java.lang.Object getParameterType(java.lang.String name)
Gets the parameterType attribute of the BondCountDescriptor object

Specified by:
getParameterType in interface IDescriptor
Parameters:
name - Description of the Parameter
Returns:
The parameterType value
