Methods documented here are available for all objects that inherit from it. =head1 DESCRIPTION A listable object is an object that contains multiple smaller objects of the same type. For example: a tree contains nodes, so it's a listable object. This class contains methods that are useful for all listable objects: Matrices (i.e. sets of matrix objects), individual Matrix objects, Datum objects (i.e. character state sequences), Taxa, Forest, Tree and Node objects. =head1 METHODS =head2 CONSTRUCTOR =over =item new() Listable object constructor. Type : Constructor Title : new Usage : my $obj = Bio::Phylo::Listable->new; Function: Instantiates a Bio::Phylo::Listable object Returns : A Bio::Phylo::Listable object. Args : none =cut # sub new { # # # could be child class # my $class = shift; # # # notify user # $logger->info("constructor called for '$class'"); # # # recurse up inheritance tree, get ID # my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); # # # local fields would be set here # # return $self; # } =back =head2 ARRAY METHODS =over =item insert() Pushes an object into its container. Type : Object method Title : insert Usage : $obj->insert($other_obj); Function: Pushes an object into its container. Returns : A Bio::Phylo::Listable object. Args : A Bio::Phylo::* object. =cut sub insert { my ( $self, @obj ) = @_; if ( @obj and $self->can_contain( @obj ) ) { $logger->info("inserting '@obj' in '$self'"); push @{ $entities{$$self} }, @obj; for my $obj ( @obj ) { if ( ref $obj and can( $obj, '_set_container' ) ) { $obj->_set_container( $self ); } } $self->notify_listeners( 'insert', @obj ); return $self; } else { throw 'ObjectMismatch' => "Failed insertion: @obj [in $self]"; } } =item insert_at_index() Inserts argument object in invocant container at argument index. Type : Object method Title : insert_at_index Usage : $obj->insert_at_index($other_obj, $i); Function: Inserts $other_obj at index $i in container $obj Returns : A Bio::Phylo::Listable object. Args : A Bio::Phylo::* object. =cut sub insert_at_index { my ( $self, $obj, $index ) = @_; $logger->debug("inserting '$obj' in '$self' at index $index"); if ( defined $obj and $self->can_contain($obj) ) { $entities{$$self}->[$index] = $obj; if ( can( $obj, '_set_container' ) ) { $obj->_set_container($self); } $self->notify_listeners( 'insert_at_index', $obj ); return $self; } else { throw 'ObjectMismatch' => 'Failed insertion!'; } } =item delete() Deletes argument from invocant object. Type : Object method Title : delete Usage : $obj->delete($other_obj); Function: Deletes an object from its container. Returns : A Bio::Phylo::Listable object. Args : A Bio::Phylo::* object. Note : Be careful with this method: deleting a node from a tree like this will result in undefined references in its neighbouring nodes. Its children will have their parent reference become undef (instead of pointing to their grandparent, as collapsing a node would do). The same is true for taxon objects that reference datum objects: if the datum object is deleted from a matrix (say), the taxon will now hold undefined references. =cut sub delete { my ( $self, $obj ) = @_; my $id = $$self; if ( $self->can_contain($obj) ) { my $occurence_counter = 0; if ( my $i = $index{$id} ) { for my $j ( 0 .. $i ) { if ( $entities{$id}->[$j] == $obj ) { $occurence_counter++; } } } my @modified = grep { ${ $_ } != $$obj } @{ $entities{$id} }; $entities{$id} = \@modified; $index{$id} -= $occurence_counter; } else { throw 'ObjectMismatch' => "Invocant object cannot contain argument object"; } $self->notify_listeners( 'delete', $obj ); return $self; } =item clear() Empties container object. Type : Object method Title : clear Usage : $obj->clear(); Function: Clears the container. Returns : A Bio::Phylo::Listable object. Args : Note. Note : =cut sub clear { my $self = shift; $entities{$$self} = []; $self->notify_listeners( 'clear' ); return $self; } =item cross_reference() The cross_reference method links node and datum objects to the taxa they apply to. After crossreferencing a matrix with a taxa object, every datum object has a reference to a taxon object stored in its C<$datum-Eget_taxon> field, and every taxon object has a list of references to datum objects stored in its C<$taxon-Eget_data> field. Type : Generic method Title : cross_reference Usage : $obj->cross_reference($taxa); Function: Crossreferences the entities in the invocant with names in $taxa Returns : string Args : A Bio::Phylo::Taxa object Comments: =cut sub cross_reference { my ( $self, $taxa ) = @_; my ( $selfref, $taxref ) = ( ref $self, ref $taxa ); if ( $taxa->can('get_entities') ) { my $ents = $self->get_entities; if ( $ents && @{$ents} ) { foreach ( @{$ents} ) { if ( $_->can('get_name') && $_->can('set_taxon') ) { my $tax = $taxa->get_entities; if ( $tax && @{$tax} ) { foreach my $taxon ( @{$tax} ) { if ( not $taxon->get_name or not $_->get_name ) { next; } if ( $taxon->get_name eq $_->get_name ) { $_->set_taxon($taxon); if ( $_->_type == $DATUM ) { $taxon->set_data($_); } if ( $_->_type == $NODE ) { $taxon->set_nodes($_); } } } } } else { throw 'ObjectMismatch' => "$selfref can't link to $taxref"; } } } if ( $self->_type == $TREE ) { $self->_get_container->set_taxa($taxa); } elsif ( $self->_type == $MATRIX ) { $self->set_taxa($taxa); } return $self; } else { throw 'ObjectMismatch' => "$taxref does not contain taxa"; } } =item get_entities() Returns a reference to an array of objects contained by the listable object.

For example, a matrix contains multiple rows; each row contains multiple cells; a tree contains nodes, and so on. (Segmented objects all inherit from Bio::Phylo::Listable, i.e. the class whose documentation you're reading here.) In many cases it is useful to be able to define subsets of the contents of segmented objects, for example sets of taxon objects inside a taxa block. The Bio::Phylo::Listable object allows this through a number of methods (add_set, remove_set, add_to_set, remove_from_set etc.). Those methods delegate the actual management of the set contents to the L object. Consult the documentation for L for a code sample. =over =item add_set() Type : Mutator Title : add_set Usage : $obj->add_set($set) Function: Associates a Bio::Phylo::Set object with the invocant Returns : Invocant Args : A Bio::Phylo::Set object =cut # here we create a listener that updates the set # object when the associated container changes my $create_set_listeners = sub { my ( $self, $set ) = @_; my $listener = sub { my ( $listable, $method, $obj ) = @_; if ( $method eq 'delete' ) { $listable->remove_from_set( $obj, $set ); } elsif ( $method eq 'clear' ) { $set->clear; } }; return $listener; }; sub add_set { my ( $self, $set ) = @_;; my $listener = $create_set_listeners->($self,$set); $self->set_listener($listener); my $id = $self->get_id; $sets{$id} = {} if not $sets{$id}; my $setid = $set->get_id; $sets{$id}->{$setid} = $set; return $self; } =item remove_set() Type : Mutator Title : remove_set Usage : $obj->remove_set($set) Function: Removes association between a Bio::Phylo::Set object and the invocant Returns : Invocant Args : A Bio::Phylo::Set object =cut sub remove_set { my ( $self, $set ) = @_; my $id = $self->get_id; $sets{$id} = {} if not $sets{$id}; my $setid = $set->get_id; delete $sets{$id}->{$setid}; return $self; } =item get_sets() Type : Accessor Title : get_sets Usage : my @sets = @{ $obj->get_sets() }; Function: Retrieves all associated Bio::Phylo::Set objects Returns : Invocant Args : None =cut sub get_sets { my $self = shift; my $id = $self->get_id; $sets{$id} = {} if not $sets{$id}; return [ values %{ $sets{$id} } ]; } =item is_in_set() Type : Test Title : is_in_set Usage : @do_something if $listable->is_in_set($obj,$set); Function: Returns whether or not the first argument is listed in the second argument Returns : Boolean Args : $obj - an object that may, or may not be in $set $set - the Bio::Phylo::Set object to query Notes : This method makes two assumptions: i) the $set object is associated with the invocant, i.e. add_set($set) has been called previously ii) the $obj object is part of the invocant If either assumption is violated a warning message is printed. =cut sub is_in_set { my ( $self, $obj, $set ) = @_; if ( $sets{ $self->get_id }->{ $set->get_id } ) { my $i = $self->get_index_of($obj); if ( defined $i ) { return $set->get_by_index($i) ? 1 : 0; } else { $logger->warn("Container doesn't contain that object."); } } else { $logger->warn("That set is not associated with this container."); } } =item add_to_set() Type : Mutator Title : add_to_set Usage : $listable->add_to_set($obj,$set); Function: Adds first argument to the second argument Returns : Invocant Args : $obj - an object to add to $set $set - the Bio::Phylo::Set object to add to Notes : this method assumes that $obj is already part of the invocant.

For example, for a Bio::Phylo::Forest::Node object, this method would be called with the 'node' argument, so that the object is serialized into an xml element structure called Type : Mutator Title : set_tag Usage : $obj->set_tag('node'); Function: Sets the tag name Returns : $self Args : A tag name (must be a valid xml element name) =item set_xml_id() This method is usually only used internally, to store the xml id of an object as it is parsed out of a nexml file - this is for the purpose of round-tripping nexml info sets. Type : Mutator Title : set_xml_id Usage : $obj->set_xml_id('node345'); Function: Sets the xml id Returns : $self Args : An xml id (must be a valid xml NCName) =item to_xml() Serializes invocant to XML. Type : XML serializer Title : to_xml Usage : my $xml = $obj->to_xml; Function: Serializes $obj to xml Returns : An xml string Args : None =back =head2 SUPERCLASS Bio::Phylo Bio::Phylo::Listable inherits from superclass L. Below are the public methods (if any) from this superclass. =over =item clone() Clones invocant. Type : Utility method Title : clone Usage : my $clone = $object->clone; Function: Creates a copy of the invocant object. Returns : A copy of the invocant. Args : None. Comments: Cloning is currently experimental, use with caution. =item get() Attempts to execute argument string as method on invocant. Type : Accessor Title : get Usage : my $treename = $tree->get('get_name'); Function: Alternative syntax for safely accessing any of the object data; useful for interpolating runtime $vars. Returns : (context dependent) Args : a SCALAR variable, e.g. $var = 'get_name'; =item get_desc() Gets invocant description. Type : Accessor Title : get_desc Usage : my $desc = $obj->get_desc; Function: Returns the object's description (if any). Returns : A string Args : None =item get_generic() Gets generic hashref or hash value(s). Type : Accessor Title : get_generic Usage : my $value = $obj->get_generic($key); or my %hash = %{ $obj->get_generic() }; Function: Returns the object's generic data. If an argument is used, it is considered a key for which the associated value is returned. Without arguments, a reference to the whole hash is returned. Returns : A string or hash reference. Args : None =item get_id() Gets invocant's UID. Type : Accessor Title : get_id Usage : my $id = $obj->get_id; Function: Returns the object's unique ID Returns : INT Args : None =item get_internal_name() Gets invocant's 'fallback' name (possibly autogenerated). Type : Accessor Title : get_internal_name Usage : my $name = $obj->get_internal_name; Function: Returns the object's name (if none was set, the name is a combination of the $obj's class and its UID). Returns : A string Args : None =item get_logger() Gets a logger object. Type : Accessor Title : get_logger Usage : my $logger = $obj->get_logger; Function: Returns a Bio::Phylo::Util::Logger object Returns : Bio::Phylo::Util::Logger Args : None =item get_name() Gets invocant's name. Type : Accessor Title : get_name Usage : my $name = $obj->get_name; Function: Returns the object's name. Returns : A string Args : None =item get_obj_by_id() Attempts to fetch an in-memory object by its UID Type : Accessor Title : get_obj_by_id Usage : my $obj = Bio::Phylo->get_obj_by_id($uid); Function: Fetches an object from the IDPool cache Returns : A Bio::Phylo object Args : A unique id =item get_score() Gets invocant's score. Type : Accessor Title : get_score Usage : my $score = $obj->get_score; Function: Returns the object's numerical score (if any). Returns : A number Args : None =item new() The Bio::Phylo root constructor, is rarely used directly. Rather, many other objects in Bio::Phylo internally go up the inheritance tree to this constructor. The arguments shown here can therefore also be passed to any of the child classes' constructors, which will pass them on up the inheritance tree. Generally, constructors in Bio::Phylo subclasses can process as arguments all methods that have set_* in their names. The arguments are named for the methods, but "set_" has been replaced with a dash "-", e.g. the method "set_name" becomes the argument "-name" in the constructor. Type : Constructor Title : new Usage : my $phylo = Bio::Phylo->new; Function: Instantiates Bio::Phylo object Returns : a Bio::Phylo object Args : Optional, any number of setters. For example, Bio::Phylo->new( -name => $name ) will call set_name( $name ) internally =item set_desc() Sets invocant description. Type : Mutator Title : set_desc Usage : $obj->set_desc($desc); Function: Assigns an object's description. Returns : Modified object. Args : Argument must be a string. =item set_generic() Sets generic key/value pair(s). Type : Mutator Title : set_generic Usage : $obj->set_generic( %generic ); Function: Assigns generic key/value pairs to the invocant. Returns : Modified object. Args : Valid arguments constitute: * key/value pairs, for example: $obj->set_generic( '-lnl' => 0.87565 ); * or a hash ref, for example: $obj->set_generic( { '-lnl' => 0.87565 } ); * or nothing, to reset the stored hash, e.g. $obj->set_generic( ); =item set_name() Sets invocant name. Type : Mutator Title : set_name Usage : $obj->set_name($name); Function: Assigns an object's name. Returns : Modified object. Args : Argument must be a string, will be single quoted if it contains [;|,|:\(|\)] or spaces. Preceding and trailing spaces will be removed. =item set_score() Sets invocant score. Type : Mutator Title : set_score Usage : $obj->set_score($score); Function: Assigns an object's numerical score. Returns : Modified object. Args : Argument must be any of perl's number formats, or undefined to reset score. =item to_json() Serializes object to JSON string Type : Serializer Title : to_json() Usage : print $obj->to_json(); Function: Serializes object to JSON string Returns : String Args : None Comments: =item to_string() Serializes object to general purpose string Type : Serializer Title : to_string() Usage : print $obj->to_string(); Function: Serializes object to general purpose string Returns : String Args : None Comments: This is YAML =back =cut # podinherit_stop_token_do_not_remove =head1 SEE ALSO Also see the manual: L and L. =head2 Objects inheriting from Bio::Phylo::Listable =over =item L Iterate over a set of trees. =item L Iterate over nodes in a tree. =item L Iterate of children of a node. =item L Iterate over a set of matrices. =item L Iterate over the datum objects in a matrix. =item L Iterate over the characters in a datum. =item L Iterate over a set of taxa. =back =head2 Superclasses =over =item L This object inherits from L, so methods defined there are also applicable here. =back =head1 REVISION $Id: Listable.pm 844 2009-03-05 00:07:26Z rvos $ =cut } 1;
