the property name

getString

public java.lang.String getString(java.lang.String key)

Gets a property.

Parameters:

key - property name

Returns:

the value of the property, or null if the key is not found

get

public MProp get(java.lang.String key)

Gets a property object.

Parameters:

key - property name

Returns:

the value of the property, or null if the key is not found

setString

public void setString(java.lang.String key,
                      java.lang.String value)

Sets a property. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

value - the value or null

set

public void set(java.lang.String key,
                MProp value)

Sets a property object. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

value - the value or null

set

public void set(java.lang.String key,
                MProp value,
                int opts)

Sets a property object. Setting null value removes the property.

Parameters:

key - the property name

value - the value or null

opts - 0 or MProp.COORDDEP

remove

public void remove(MProp p)

Removes a property.

Parameters:

p - the object

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/21/2007

replace

public void replace(MProp oldp,
                    MProp newp)

Replaces or removes a property.

Parameters:

oldp - the old object

newp - the new object or null to remove

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/14/2007

contains

public boolean contains(MProp p)

Tests whether the container contains the specified property object.

Parameters:

p - the object

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/21/2007

isValid

public boolean isValid(MProp prop)

Tests whether a coordinate dependent property is still valid.

Parameters:

prop - the property

MProp.COORDDEP, set(String, MProp, int)

isSelfReference

public boolean isSelfReference(MProp p)

Tests whether a property is a self reference to the containing molecule.

Parameters:

p - the property

Returns:

true if the property is a self reference, false otherwise

Since:

Marvin 5.0, 11/05/2007

isHierarchic

public boolean isHierarchic()

Tests whether the property list contains subcollections like MListProp and MHashProp. A property list containing names in MDL RDfile style can be made hierarchic by calling hierarchize().

Returns:

true if the property list contains subcollections, false otherwise

Since:

Marvin 4.1.6, 02/15/2007

hierarchize

public java.lang.String hierarchize()
