Class MDArrayReader

java.lang.Object
  chemaxon.descriptors.MDReader
      chemaxon.descriptors.MDArrayReader

public class MDArrayReader
extends MDReader

Reads MolecularDescriptors from an array. Intended for use when chemical descriptors are read more than once.

Typical usage:

 MDArrayReader r = new MDArrayReader( sampleDescriptorSet, cdFileReader );
 

After that all methods of MDReaders can be called, the number of MDSets is known, reading is fast, and can be reset without problems.

Since:

JChem 2.0
