implements IAtomicDescriptor

This class returns the 3D distance between two atoms. Only works with 3D coordinates, which must be calculated beforehand.

Parameters for this descriptor:

Name	Default	Description
focusPosition	0	The position of the second atom

public Object[] getParameters()

Gets the parameters attribute of the DistanceToAtomDescriptor object

getParameters in interface IDescriptor

Returns:

The parameters value

See Also:

IDescriptor.setParameters(java.lang.Object[])

getDescriptorNames

public String[] 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 as ALOGPDescriptor the return array will have a single element

Specified by:

getDescriptorNames in interface IDescriptor

Returns:

An array of descriptor names, equal in length to the number of descriptor calculated..

getParameterNames

public String[] getParameterNames()
