## org.biojava.bio.symbol
Class FuzzyLocation

    java.lang.Object
      org.biojava.bio.symbol.AbstractLocation

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Location

    public class FuzzyLocation

extends AbstractRangeLocation
implements Serializable

A 'fuzzy' location a-la Embl fuzzy locations.

Fuzzy locations have propreties that indicate that they may start before min and end after max. However, this in no way affects how they interact with other locations.

`static FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver` | `RESOLVE_INNER` Always use the `inner' values.
`static FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver` | `RESOLVE_OUTER` Use the `outer' values, unless they are unbounded in which case the `inner' values are used.

Field Detail

### RESOLVE_INNER

    public static final FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver RESOLVE_INNER

  Always use the `inner' values.

### RESOLVE_OUTER

    public static final FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver RESOLVE_OUTER

  Use the `outer' values, unless they are unbounded in which case the `inner' values are used.

### RESOLVE_AVERAGE

    public static final FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver RESOLVE_AVERAGE

  Use the arithmetic mean of the `inner' and `outer' values, unless the outer value is unbounded.

Constructor Detail

### FuzzyLocation

    public FuzzyLocation(int outerMin,
                         int outerMax,
                         int innerMin,
                         int innerMax,
                         FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver resolver)

  Create a new FuzzyLocation with endpoints (outerMin.innerMin) and (innerMax.outerMax).

  Parameters:
    `outerMin` - the lower bound on the location's min value. Integer.MIN_VALUE indicates unbounded.
    `outerMax` - the upper bound on the location's max value. Integer.MAX_VALUE indicates unbounded.
    `innerMin` - the upper bound on the location's min value.
    `innerMax` - the lower bound on the location's max value.
    `resolver` - a RangeResolver object which defines the policy used to calculate the location's min and max properties.

### FuzzyLocation

    public FuzzyLocation(int outerMin,
                         int outerMax,
                         int innerMin,
                         int innerMax,
                         boolean isMinFuzzy,
                         boolean isMaxFuzzy,
                         FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver resolver)

  Create a new FuzzyLocation with endpoints (outerMin.innerMin) and (innerMax.outerMax). This constructor allows you to explicitly mark an endpoint as fuzzy, even if there is no other information about it. For example, a valid swissprot location "?5 10" would be a fuzzy location 5 to 10 where the min is fuzzy and the max is not.

  Note that it is not logical to specify inner and outer values that clearly denote fuzzy boundaries and the set the `isMinFuzzy` or `isMaxFuzzy` value to false. This object makes no specific check of your logic so be careful.

  Parameters:
    `outerMin` - the lower bound on the location's min value. Integer.MIN_VALUE indicates unbounded.
    `outerMax` - the upper bound on the location's max value. Integer.MAX_VALUE indicates unbounded.
    `innerMin` - the upper bound on the location's min value.
    `innerMax` - the lower bound on the location's max value.
    `isMinFuzzy` - Explictly state if the minimum is fuzzy
    `isMaxFuzzy` - Explictly state if the maximum is fuzzy
    `resolver` - a RangeResolver object which defines the policy used to calculate the location's min and max properties.

Method Detail

### translate

    public Location translate(int dist)

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  Create a location that is a translation of this location.

  Specified by:
    `translate` in interface `Location`
  Parameters:
    `dist` - the distance to translate (to the right)

### getResolver

    public FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver getResolver()

  Retrieve the Location that this decorates.

  Returns:
    the Location instance that stores all of the Location interface data

### getOuterMin

    public int getOuterMin()

### getOuterMax

    public int getOuterMax()

### getInnerMin

    public int getInnerMin()

### getInnerMax

    public int getInnerMax()

### getMin

    public int getMin()

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  The minimum position contained.

  WARNING: The location will not contain every point between `getMin()` and `getMax()` if `isContiguous()` is false. If `isContiguous()` does return false you should use the `Iterator` returned by `blockIterator()` to iterate over the minimum set of contiguous blocks that make up this `Location`

  Specified by:
    `getMin` in interface `Location`
  Returns:
    the minimum position contained

### getMax

    public int getMax()

  Description copied from interface: `Location`
  The maximum position contained.

  WARNING: The location will not contain every point between `getMin()` and `getMax()` if `isContiguous()` is false. If `isContiguous()` does return false you should use the `Iterator` returned by `blockIterator()` to iterate over the minimum set of contiguous blocks that make up this `Location`

  Specified by:
    `getMax` in interface `Location`
  Returns:
    the maximum position contained

### hasBoundedMin

    public boolean hasBoundedMin()

### hasBoundedMax

    public boolean hasBoundedMax()

### toString

    public String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`

### isMinFuzzy

    public boolean isMinFuzzy()

### isMaxFuzzy

    public boolean isMaxFuzzy()

### initializeVariables

    protected void initializeVariables(int outerMin,
                                       int outerMax,

                                       boolean isMinFuzzy,
                                       boolean isMaxFuzzy,
                                       FuzzyLocation.RangeResolver resolver)

  Refactored initialization code from the constructors.

  Parameters:
    `outerMin` - the lower bound on the location's min value. Integer.MIN_VALUE indicates unbounded.
    `outerMax` - the upper bound on the location's max value. Integer.MAX_VALUE indicates unbounded.
    `innerMin` - the upper bound on the location's min value.
    `innerMax` - the lower bound on the location's max value.
    `resolver` - a RangeResolver object which defines the policy used to calculate the location's min and max properties.
