Interface SpotIntensityParser

    • Method Detail

      • hasRequiredAssayFields

        boolean hasRequiredAssayFields​(BaseFileParser parser,
                                       FlatFileParser ffp,
                                       List<String> assayFields)
        Check the list of assay fields to see if all columns that are required are present or not. This method is called in the first pass to decide which spot intensity parser that should be used in the second pass.
        Parameters:
        parser - The master BASEfile parser
        ffp - The flat file parser that parses the current file
        assayFields - The list of assay fields
        Returns:
        TRUE if all required fields are present, FALSE otherwise
      • beginSection

        void beginSection​(BaseFileParser parser,
                          FlatFileParser ffp,
                          List<String> assayFields)
        Prepare for parsing the data section. Preparations typically include extracting the column indexes of the data columns. This method is called in the second pass before starting to parse data for a 'spot' section. NOTE! The same object instance may be used to parse more than one section in a serial BASEfile.
        Parameters:
        parser - The master BASEfile parser
        ffp - The flat file parser that parses the current file
        assayFields - The list of assay fields
      • setIntensities

        boolean setIntensities​(FlatFileParser.Data data,
                               float[] intensities,
                               int firstIndex)
        Extract the intensity values from the current data line for a single bioassay. If the section contains data for multiple bioassays (eg. a matrix BASEfile) this method is called multiple times (with different 'firstIndex' value) for each row.
        Parameters:
        data - The current data line
        intensities - An array that should be populate with intensity values
        firstIndex - The index of the first data column that contains data for the current bioassay
        Returns:
        TRUE if the values could be set correctly, FALSE otherwise (which means that the spot data will not be inserted)
