Constructor Details

Traverser

public Traverser(EditorMap editorMap,
 Visitor visitor,
 Filter<PropertyEditor>... filters)

The full constructor.

Parameters:

editorMap - is used for looking up properties to traverse

visitor - is a visitor element that determines the action on reaching a biopax element during traversal

filters - limits the type of properties that are traversed.

Method Details

setVisitor

public void setVisitor(Visitor visitor)

getVisitor

public Visitor getVisitor()

traverse

public <D extends BioPAXElement> void traverse(D element,
 Model model)

Traverse and visit Visitor all properties of the element. This method does not traverse iteratively to the values.

Type Parameters:

D - actual BioPAX type which properties and inherited properties will be used

Parameters:

element - BioPAX element to be traversed

model - to be traversed, but not necessarily (depends on the Visitor implementation).

traverseElements

protected void traverseElements(BioPAXElement element,
 Model model,
 PropertyEditor<?,?> editor,
 Set<?> valueSet)

filter

protected boolean filter(PropertyEditor<?,?> editor)
