Class CarbonTypesDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  org.openscience.cdk.qsar.descriptors.molecular.CarbonTypesDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

IDescriptor, IMolecularDescriptor

public class CarbonTypesDescriptor
extends java.lang.Object
implements IMolecularDescriptor

Topological descriptor characterizing the carbon connectivity.

The class calculates 9 descriptors in the following order

• C1SP1 triply hound carbon bound to one other carbon
• C2SP1 triply bound carbon bound to two other carbons
• C1SP2 doubly hound carbon bound to one other carbon
• C2SP2 doubly bound carbon bound to two other carbons
• C3SP2 doubly bound carbon bound to three other carbons
• C1SP3 singly bound carbon bound to one other carbon
• C2SP3 singly bound carbon bound to two other carbons
• C3SP3 singly bound carbon bound to three other carbons
• C4SP3 singly bound carbon bound to four other carbons

This descriptor uses these parameters:

Name	Default	Description
		no parameters

public CarbonTypesDescriptor()

Method Detail

getSpecification

public DescriptorSpecification getSpecification()

Description copied from interface: IDescriptor

Returns a Map which specifies which descriptor is implemented by this class. These fields are used in the map:

• Specification-Reference: refers to an entry in a unique dictionary
• Implementation-Title: anything
• Implementation-Identifier: a unique identifier for this version of this class
• Implementation-Vendor: CDK, JOELib, or anything else

Specified by:

getSpecification in interface IDescriptor

Returns:

An object containing the descriptor specification

setParameters

public void setParameters(java.lang.Object[] params)
                   throws CDKException

Sets the parameters attribute of the GravitationalIndexDescriptor object.

Specified by:

setParameters in interface IDescriptor

Parameters:

params - The new parameters value

Throws:

CDKException - Description of the Exception

getParameters()

getParameters

public java.lang.Object[] getParameters()

Gets the parameters attribute of the GravitationalIndexDescriptor object.

Specified by:

getParameters in interface IDescriptor

Returns:

The parameters value

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..

getParameterNames

public java.lang.String[] getParameterNames()

Gets the parameterNames attribute of the GravitationalIndexDescriptor 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 GravitationalIndexDescriptor object.

Specified by:

getParameterType in interface IDescriptor

Parameters:

name - Description of the Parameter

Returns:

The parameterType value

calculate

public DescriptorValue calculate(IAtomContainer container)

Calculates the 9 carbon types descriptors

Specified by:

calculate in interface IMolecularDescriptor

Parameters:

container - Parameter is the atom container.

Returns:

An ArrayList containing 9 elements in the order described above

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
