Method Detail

inputFormat

public boolean inputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)

Sets the format of the input instances. If the filter is able to determine the output format before seeing any input instances, it does so here. This default implementation assumes the output format is determined when batchFinished() is called.

Parameters:

instanceInfo - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).

Returns:

true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately

outputFormat

public Instances outputFormat()
                       throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the format of the output instances. This should only be called after input() or batchFinished() has returned true.

Specified by:

outputFormat in interface InstanceProducer

Returns:

an Instances object containing the output instance structure only.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no input structure has been defined (or the output format hasn't been determined yet)

input

public boolean input(Instance instance)
              throws java.lang.Exception

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

batchFinished

public void batchFinished()
                   throws java.lang.Exception

Signify that this batch of input to the filter is finished. If the filter requires all instances prior to filtering, output() may now be called to retrieve the filtered instances. Any subsequent instances filtered should be filtered based on setting obtained from the first batch (unless the inputFormat has been re-assigned or new options have been set). This default implementation assumes all instance processing occurs during inputFormat() and input().

Returns:

true if there are instances pending output

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no input structure has been defined

outputPeek

public Instance outputPeek()
                    throws java.lang.Exception

Output an instance after filtering but do not remove from the output queue.

Specified by:

outputPeek in interface InstanceProducer

Returns:

the instance that has most recently been filtered (or null if the queue is empty).

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no input structure has been defined

setDebug

public void setDebug(boolean debug)

getDebug

public boolean getDebug()

addInstanceListener

public void addInstanceListener(InstanceListener ipl)

Specified by:

addInstanceListener in interface InstanceProducer

removeInstanceListener

public void removeInstanceListener(InstanceListener ipl)

Specified by:

removeInstanceListener in interface InstanceProducer

notifyInstanceProduced

protected void notifyInstanceProduced(InstanceEvent e)

instanceProduced

public void instanceProduced(InstanceEvent e)

secondInstanceProduced

public void secondInstanceProduced(InstanceEvent e)

Specified by:

secondInstanceProduced in interface SerialInstanceListener
