## org.biojava.bio.chromatogram
Class SimpleChromatogram

    java.lang.Object
      org.biojava.bio.chromatogram.AbstractChromatogram
          org.biojava.bio.chromatogram.SimpleChromatogram

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Chromatogram

    public class SimpleChromatogram

extends AbstractChromatogram

A basic chromatogram implementation which provides public mutators for setting the various attributes of the chromatogram.

In general, new chromatogram implementations should be derived from `AbstractChromatogram`, not this class, as it is generally undesirable to allow the internal structures of a `Chromatogram` to be manipulated externally. This class could still be useful, however, for programatically generated "chromatograms".

  1.3

Constructor Detail

### SimpleChromatogram

    public SimpleChromatogram()

  Creates a new instance of SimpleChromatogram.

Method Detail

### setSymbolLists

    public void setSymbolLists(SymbolList dna,
                               SymbolList offsets)
                        throws IllegalAlphabetException,
                               IllegalArgumentException

  Set the DNA and OFFSETS symbol lists for the basecall alignment. Beware: this method does no consistency checks to be sure that all the offsets are valid indices into the trace arrays.

  Parameters:
    `dna` - a symbol list in the DNA alphabet that contains the base calls for this chromatogram
    `offsets` - a symbol list in an integer or sub-integer alphabet that contains the locations in the chromatogram for the bases called in `dna`
  Throws:
    `IllegalAlphabetException` - when the alphabets aren't as specified
    `IllegalArgumentException` - when the lists aren't the same length

### setTraceValues

    public void setTraceValues(AtomicSymbol nuc,
                               int[] trace,
                               int maxVal)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException,
                               IllegalSymbolException

  Sets the trace array for one of the DNA nucleotides. The provided array will not be copied, so any modifications to it will be reflected in calls to `AbstractChromatogram.getTrace(org.biojava.bio.symbol.AtomicSymbol)`.

  If you need to set a new set of traces whose length is different from the old set, you must call `clearTraceValues()` first, or you will provoke an `IllegalArgumentException`.

  Parameters:
    `nuc` - the nucleotide for which to set the trace
    `trace` - the sampled intensities along the trace
    `maxVal` - the maximum value on the trace, or `Integer.MIN_VALUE` to force this method to calculate it
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - when trace.length is different from any of the existing (non-null) traces
    `IllegalSymbolException` - when nuc is not a concrete DNA nucleotide

### clearTraceValues

    public void clearTraceValues()

  Sets all the traces to null.

### setSignificantBits

    public void setSignificantBits(int bits)

  Sets the number of significant bits in the data.

  Parameters:
    `bits` - how many bits of the trace samples are significant
  See Also:
    `Chromatogram.getSignificantBits()`

### reverseComplementInstance

    protected AbstractChromatogram reverseComplementInstance()

  Description copied from class: `AbstractChromatogram`
  Returns a new instance of this AbstractChromatogram subclass for use in `AbstractChromatogram.reverseComplement()`.

  Specified by:
    `reverseComplementInstance` in class `AbstractChromatogram`
  Returns:
    a reverse-complemented AbstractChromatogram
