Detailed Description

{core}

Converter to turn local parameters into global ones.

This class of objects is defined by libSBML only and has no direct equivalent in terms of SBML components. It is a class used in the implementation of extra functionality provided by libSBML.

This converter essentially promotes local parameters to global parameters. It works by examining every Reaction object for LocalParameter objects, then creating Parameter objects on the model for each one found, and finally removing the original LocalParameter objects. It creates new identifiers for the fresh Parameter objects by concatenating the identifier of the reaction with the identifier of the original LocalParameter object.

This converter can be useful for software applications that do not have the ability to handle local parameters on reactions. Such applications could check incoming models for local parameters and run those models through this converter before proceeding with other steps.

Configuration and use of SBMLLocalParameterConverter

SBMLLocalParameterConverter is enabled by creating a ConversionProperties object with the option "promoteLocalParameters", and passing this properties object to SBMLDocument::convert(). The converter offers no other options.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SBMLLocalParameterConverter() [1/2]

SBMLLocalParameterConverter::SBMLLocalParameterConverter ( )

Creates a new SBMLLocalParameterConverter object.

◆ SBMLLocalParameterConverter() [2/2]

SBMLLocalParameterConverter::SBMLLocalParameterConverter ( const SBMLLocalParameterConverter obj)

Copy constructor; creates a copy of an SBMLLocalParameterConverter object.

Parameters
objthe SBMLLocalParameterConverter object to copy.

◆ ~SBMLLocalParameterConverter()

SBMLLocalParameterConverter::~SBMLLocalParameterConverter ( )
virtual

Destroy this SBMLLocalParameterConverter object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

SBMLLocalParameterConverter * SBMLLocalParameterConverter::clone ( ) const
virtual

Creates and returns a deep copy of this SBMLLocalParameterConverter object.

Returns
a (deep) copy of this converter.

Reimplemented from SBMLConverter.

◆ convert()

int SBMLLocalParameterConverter::convert ( )
virtual

Perform the conversion.

This method causes the converter to do the actual conversion work, that is, to convert the SBMLDocument object set by SBMLConverter::setDocument() and with the configuration options set by SBMLConverter::setProperties().

Reimplemented from SBMLConverter.

◆ getDefaultProperties()

ConversionProperties SBMLLocalParameterConverter::getDefaultProperties ( ) const
virtual

Returns the default properties of this converter.

A given converter exposes one or more properties that can be adjusted in order to influence the behavior of the converter. This method returns the default property settings for this converter. It is meant to be called in order to discover all the settings for the converter object.

Returns
the ConversionProperties object describing the default properties for this converter.

Reimplemented from SBMLConverter.

◆ getDocument() [1/2]

SBMLDocument * SBMLConverter::getDocument ( )
virtualinherited

Returns the SBML document that is the subject of the conversions.

Returns
the current SBMLDocument object.

◆ getDocument() [2/2]

const SBMLDocument * SBMLConverter::getDocument ( ) const
virtualinherited

Returns the SBML document that is the subject of the conversions.

Returns
the current SBMLDocument object.

◆ getName()

const std::string & SBMLConverter::getName ( ) const
inherited

Returns the name of this converter.

Returns
a string, the name of this converter.

◆ getProperties()

ConversionProperties * SBMLConverter::getProperties ( ) const
virtualinherited

Returns the current properties in effect for this converter.

A given converter exposes one or more properties that can be adjusted in order to influence the behavior of the converter. This method returns the current properties for this converter; in other words, the settings in effect at this moment. To change the property values, you can use SBMLConverter::setProperties(const ConversionProperties *props).

Returns
the currently set configuration properties.

setProperties()
matchesProperties()

◆ getTargetNamespaces()

SBMLNamespaces * SBMLConverter::getTargetNamespaces ( )
virtualinherited

Returns the target SBML namespaces of the currently set properties.

SBML namespaces are used by libSBML to express the Level+Version of the SBML document (and, possibly, any SBML Level 3 packages in use). Some converters' behavior is affected by the SBML namespace configured in the converter. For example, in SBMLLevelVersionConverter (the converter for converting SBML documents from one Level+Version combination to another), the actions are fundamentally dependent on the SBML namespaces targeted.

Returns
the SBMLNamespaces object that describes the SBML namespaces in effect, or NULL if none are set.

◆ matchesProperties()

bool SBMLLocalParameterConverter::matchesProperties ( const ConversionProperties props) const
virtual

Returns true if this converter object's properties match the given properties.

A typical use of this method involves creating a ConversionProperties object, setting the options desired, and then calling this method on an SBMLLocalParameterConverter object to find out if the object's property values match the given ones. This method is also used by SBMLConverterRegistry::getConverterFor() to search across all registered converters for one matching particular properties.

Parameters
propsthe properties to match.
Returns
true if this converter's properties match, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from SBMLConverter.

◆ setDocument() [1/2]

int SBMLConverter::setDocument ( const SBMLDocument doc)
virtualinherited

Sets the SBML document to be converted.

Parameters
docthe document to use for this conversion.
Returns
integer value indicating the success/failure of the operation. The set of possible values that may be returned ultimately depends on the specific subclass of SBMLConverter being used, but the default method can return the following:

Reimplemented in SBMLReactionConverter, and SBMLRateOfConverter.

◆ setDocument() [2/2]

int SBMLConverter::setDocument ( SBMLDocument doc)
virtualinherited

Sets the SBML document to be converted.

Parameters
docthe document to use for this conversion.
Returns
integer value indicating the success/failure of the operation. The set of possible values that may be returned ultimately depends on the specific subclass of SBMLConverter being used, but the default method can return the following:

Reimplemented in SBMLReactionConverter, and SBMLRateOfConverter.

◆ setProperties()

int SBMLConverter::setProperties ( const ConversionProperties props)
virtualinherited

Sets the configuration properties to be used by this converter.

Parameters
propsthe ConversionProperties object defining the properties to set.
Returns
integer value indicating the success/failure of the operation. The set of possible values that may be returned ultimately depends on the specific subclass of SBMLConverter being used, but the default method can return the following values:
