Method Detail

addUnitDefinitionIfNotContained

public static java.lang.String addUnitDefinitionIfNotContained(Model model,
                                               UnitDefinition units)

Adds the given UnitDefinition to the given model or returns the identifier of an equivalent UnitDefinition that is already part of the model. In case that the given model is null, the return value of this method will also be null.

Parameters:

model - The model where to add the given UnitDefinition

units - The UnitDefinition to be checked and possibly added to the given Model

Returns:

The identifier of the given UnitDefinition if this one has been added to the given model, the identifier of an equivalent UnitDefinition that is already part of the given model, or null.

formulaToString

public static java.lang.String formulaToString(ASTNode node)
                                        throws SBMLException

Converts an ASTNode formula to a text string using a specific syntax for mathematical formulas.

The text-string form of mathematical formulas produced by ASTNode.formulaToString(ASTNode) and read by ASTNode.parseFormula(String) are simple C-inspired infix notation taken from SBML Level 1. A formula in this text-string form therefore can be handed to a program that understands SBML Level 1 mathematical expressions, or used as part of a formula translation system. The syntax is described in detail in the libsbml documentation for ASTNode.

Be careful that the default FormulaCompiler used produce an output a bit different than pure SBML level 1 mathematical expressions, in particular for logical and relational operators. If the default output is not convenient for you, you can easily extends one of the existing FormulaCompiler and overwrite the methods where you want a different output.

Parameters:

node - the root of the ASTNode formula expression tree

Returns:

the formula from the given AST as an SBML Level 1 text-string mathematical formula. null is returned if the given argument is null.

Throws:

SBMLException - In case the given ASTNode tree contains invalid nodes.

getJSBMLDottedVersion

public static java.lang.String getJSBMLDottedVersion()

Returns the JSBML version as a string of the form '1.2.3'.

Returns:

the JSBML version as a string of the form '1.2.3'.

getJSBMLVersion

public static int getJSBMLVersion()

Returns the JSBML version as an integer: version 1.2.3 becomes 123.

Returns:

the JSBML version as an integer: version 1.2.3 becomes 123.

getJSBMLVersionString

public static java.lang.String getJSBMLVersionString()

Returns the JSBML version as a string: version 1.2.3 becomes '123'.

Returns:

the JSBML version as a string: version 1.2.3 becomes '123'.

loadClasses

public static <T> void loadClasses(java.lang.String path,
                   java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Class<? extends T>> whereToPutProperties)

Loads Properties from a configuration file with the given path assuming that all values represent class names.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

path -

whereToPutProperties -

parseFormula

public static ASTNode parseFormula(java.lang.String formula)
                            throws ParseException

Parses a text-string mathematical formula and returns a representation as an Abstract Syntax Tree.

Support the syntax defined in FormulaParserLL3 which is almost the same syntax as defined in the LibSBML L3 parser. The things not supported for now are the units associated with numbers.

Parsing of the various MathML functions and constants are all case-sensitive by default: names such as 'Cos' and 'COS' are not parsed as the MathML cosine operator, '<cos>'. As well, if you have an SBML entities (species, parameter, ...) that has an id identical to one of the supported mathML element, the parser will interpret the String as the mathML element and not the SBML entity.

You can change this behaviour by using the FormulaParserLL3.setCaseSensitive(boolean) method and using the ASTNode.parseFormula(String, IFormulaParser) method instead of this one:

 
   FormulaParserLL3 caseSensitiveParser = new FormulaParserLL3(new StringReader(""));
   caseInsensitiveParser.setCaseSensitive(false);
   ASTNode n = ASTNode.parseFormula("Cos(x)", caseInsensitiveParser);

This method has a different behaviour since JSBML-1.0 compare to JSBML-0.8. There is a different operator precedence, the parsing is now case sensitive for mathML elements and boolean operators are now differently interpreted: '&&' and '||' are used instead of 'and' and 'or'.
If you want to use the parser used in JSBML-0.8, you can do that by using the FormulaParser parser class and using the ASTNode.parseFormula(String, IFormulaParser) method instead of this one:

 
   FormulaParser oldParser = new FormulaParser(new StringReader(""));

   ASTNode n = ASTNode.parseFormula("x and y", oldParser);

If you are not satisfied with the behaviour of the existing parsers, you can create your own, you just need to implement the IFormulaParser interface.

Parameters:

formula - a text-string mathematical formula.

Returns:

an ASTNode representing the formula.

Throws:

ParseException - If the given formula is not of valid format or cannot be parsed for other reasons.
