All Implemented Interfaces:

chemaxon.license.Licensable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class ShapeDescriptor
extends MolecularDescriptor
implements chemaxon.license.Licensable

Shape descriptor implements a 3D alignment based similarity calculation. At descriptor generation a specific molecule representation is stored and additional data is calculated. The similarity calculation itself compares two of such representations using (flexible) 3D structural overlay.

Constructor Detail

ShapeDescriptor

public ShapeDescriptor()

ShapeDescriptor

public ShapeDescriptor(ShapeParameters params)

Creates a new instance of ShapeDescriptor according to the parameters given.

Parameters:

params - parameter settings

ShapeDescriptor

public ShapeDescriptor(java.lang.String params)

Creates a new instance of ShapeDescriptor according to the parameters given.s

Parameters:

params - parameter settings

ShapeDescriptor

public ShapeDescriptor(ShapeDescriptor sh)

Copy constructor. An identical copy of the ShapeDescriptor passed is created. The old and the new instances share the same ShapeDescriptorParameters object.

Parameters:

sh - fingerprint to be copied

Method Detail

getDefaultThreshold

public float getDefaultThreshold(int metricIndex)

Gets a metric dependent default threshold value. Ideally, this value should be based on statistics, though the actual value is not too critical, since these are only used in user interfaces to simplify the use of applications for beginners. Do not use this method. Required only for the compatibility with the screening framework.

Overrides:

getDefaultThreshold in class MolecularDescriptor

Parameters:

metricIndex - index of a parameterized metric

getDefaultDissimilarityMetricThresholds

public float[] getDefaultDissimilarityMetricThresholds()

Gets the default dissimilarity threshold values for all dissimilarity metrics defined. Do not use this method. Required only for the compatibility with the screening framework.

Specified by:

getDefaultDissimilarityMetricThresholds in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

array of dissimilarity threshold values

setLicenseEnvironment

public void setLicenseEnvironment(java.lang.String env)

Specified by:

setLicenseEnvironment in interface chemaxon.license.Licensable

isLicensed

public boolean isLicensed()

Specified by:

isLicensed in interface chemaxon.license.Licensable

clone

public ShapeDescriptor clone()

Description copied from class: MolecularDescriptor

Creates a new instance with identical internal state.

Specified by:

clone in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

the newly copied object

setAlignmentMolecule

public void setAlignmentMolecule(AlignmentMolecule am)

generate

public java.lang.String[] generate(Molecule m)
                            throws MDGeneratorException

Description copied from class: MolecularDescriptor

Creates the descriptor for the given Molecule.

Overrides:

generate in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

property names set in the molecule passed during generation

Throws:

MDGeneratorException - when failed to generate descriptor

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Gets the name of the ShapeDescriptor fingerprint object. This name is not the same as the class name: nicer, and more meaningful for end-users too.

Overrides:

getName in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

the nice, external name for ShapeDescriptor class objects

getShortName

public java.lang.String getShortName()

Gets the short name of the fingerprint.

Overrides:

getShortName in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

the short name used in text outputs (tables etc.)

getParametersClassName

public java.lang.String getParametersClassName()

Gets the name of the parameters class corresponding to the descriptor.

Overrides:

getParametersClassName in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

the name of the parameters class

setParameters

public void setParameters(java.lang.String parameters)
                   throws MDParametersException

Sets the parameters of an already created ShapeDescriptor object.

Specified by:

setParameters in class MolecularDescriptor

Parameters:

parameters - parameter settings for the fingerprint

Throws:

MDParametersException - any XML error

clear

public void clear()

Clears the fingerprint, all values are set to zero.

toData

public byte[] toData()

Specified by:

fromData in class MolecularDescriptor

Parameters:

dbRepr - an array generated by toData()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: MolecularDescriptor

Creates the string representation of a MolecularDescriptor object. This string value is stored in SDfiles, though the use of this string is not limited to this purpose. Typically, this string is compact, for instance zero values are not necessarily printed.

Specified by:

toString in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

a formatted string of the descriptor

toDecimalString

public java.lang.String toDecimalString()

Description copied from class: MolecularDescriptor

Creates the string representation of a MolecularDescriptor object. This string value contains all values of the descriptor (including all zeros), values are separated by tabs.

Returns:

a 0,1 string of the descriptor

getDissimilarityMetrics

public java.lang.String[] getDissimilarityMetrics()

Description copied from class: MolecularDescriptor

Gets the dissimilarity metric names in an array.
This method must be overloaded by derived classes in order to get the metrics array depending on the dynamic type. (This is needed because the metrics[] array is a class variable, but class variables are shared among all derived classes.)

Specified by:

getDissimilarityMetrics in class MolecularDescriptor

Returns:

the metrics array

getDissimilarity

Description copied from class: MolecularDescriptor

Calculates the dissimilarity ratio between two MolecularDescriptor objects using the default metric. Default metric is set in the corresponding MDParameters object. In the case of asymmetric distances swapping the two descriptors can make a big difference.
