Class LargestChainDescriptor
java.lang.Object
org.openscience.cdk.qsar.AbstractMolecularDescriptor
org.openscience.cdk.qsar.descriptors.molecular.LargestChainDescriptor
- All Implemented Interfaces:
IDescriptor
,IMolecularDescriptor
public class LargestChainDescriptor
extends AbstractMolecularDescriptor
implements IMolecularDescriptor
Class that returns the number of atoms in the largest chain.
Returns a single value named nAtomLAC. Note that a chain exists if there
are two or more atoms. Thus single atom molecules will return 0
Name | Default | Description |

Method Details

getSpecification
Returns aMap
which specifies which descriptor is implemented by this class. These fields are used in the map:- Specification-Reference: refers to an entry in a unique dictionary
- Implementation-Title: anything
- Implementation-Identifier: a unique identifier for this version of this class
- Implementation-Vendor: CDK, JOELib, or anything else
- Specified by:
getSpecification
in interfaceIDescriptor
- Returns:
- An object containing the descriptor specification
-
setParameters
Sets the parameters attribute of the LargestChain object. This descriptor takes two parameters, which should be Booleans to indicate whether aromaticity and ring member ship needs been checked (TRUE) or not (FALSE). The first parameter (aromaticity) is deprecated and ignored.- Specified by:
setParameters
in interfaceIDescriptor
- Parameters:
params
- The new parameters value- Throws:
CDKException
- if more than one parameter or a non-Boolean parameter is specified- See Also:
-
getParameters
Gets the parameters attribute of the LargestChainDescriptor object.- Specified by:
getParameters
in interfaceIDescriptor
- Returns:
- The parameters value
- See Also:
-
getDescriptorNames
Description copied from interface:IDescriptor
Returns an array of names for each descriptor value calculated. Many descriptors return multiple values. In general it is useful for the descriptor to indicate the names for each value. In many cases, these names can be as simple as X1, X2, ..., XN where X is a prefix and 1, 2, ..., N are the indices. On the other hand it is also possible to return other arbitrary names, which should be documented in the Javadocs for the descriptor (e.g., the CPSA descriptor). Note that by default if a descriptor returns a single value (such asALOGPDescriptor
the return array will have a single element- Specified by:
getDescriptorNames
in interfaceIDescriptor
- Returns:
- An array of descriptor names, equal in length to the number of descriptor calculated..
-
calculate
Calculate the count of atoms of the largest chain in the suppliedIAtomContainer
.- Specified by:
calculate
in interfaceIMolecularDescriptor
- Parameters:
atomContainer
- TheIAtomContainer
for which this descriptor is to be calculated- Returns:
- the number of atoms in the largest chain of this AtomContainer
- See Also:
-
getDescriptorResultType
Returns the specific type of the DescriptorResult object. The return value from this method really indicates what type of result will be obtained from theDescriptorValue
object. Note that the same result can be achieved by interrogating theDescriptorValue
object; this method allows you to do the same thing, without actually calculating the descriptor.- Specified by:
getDescriptorResultType
in interfaceIMolecularDescriptor
- Returns:
- an object that implements the
IDescriptorResult
interface indicating the actual type of values returned by the descriptor in theDescriptorValue
object
-
getParameterNames
Gets the parameterNames attribute of the LargestPiSystemDescriptor object.- Specified by:
getParameterNames
in interfaceIDescriptor
- Returns:
- The parameterNames value
-
getParameterType
Gets the parameterType attribute of the LargestChainDescriptor object.- Specified by:
getParameterType
in interfaceIDescriptor
- Parameters:
name
- Description of the Parameter- Returns:
- An Object of class equal to that of the parameter being requested
-
initialise
Default implementation of initialise allows optional override.- Specified by:

in interfaceIDescriptor
- Parameters:
