public class RingPartitioner
extends Object

Partitions a RingSet into RingSets of connected rings. Rings which share an Atom, a Bond or three or more atoms with at least on other ring in the RingSet are considered connected.

public RingPartitioner()

Method Details

partitionRings

public static List<IRingSet> partitionRings(IRingSet ringSet)

Partitions a RingSet into RingSets of connected rings. Rings which share an Atom, a Bond or three or more atoms with at least on other ring in the RingSet are considered connected. Thus molecules such as azulene and indole will return a List with 1 element.

Note that an isolated ring is considered to be self-connect. As a result a molecule such as biphenyl will result in a 2-element List being returned (each element corresponding to a phenyl ring).

Parameters:

ringSet - The RingSet to be partitioned

Returns:

A List of connected RingSets

convertToAtomContainer

public static IAtomContainer convertToAtomContainer(IRingSet ringSet)

Converts a RingSet to an AtomContainer.

Parameters:

ringSet - The RingSet to be converted.

Returns:

The AtomContainer containing the bonds and atoms of the ringSet.
