FbcAnd_t Class Reference

Detailed Description

fbc An “and” relationship for gene products

FbcAnd_t class is used in Version 2 of the SBML Level 3 Flux Balance Constraints (“fbc”) package to represent an "and" relationship between two or more child FbcAssociation_t objects. In other words, it indicates that all of the child objects are included. Note that since the FbcAssociation_t class is the parent class of GeneProductRef_t, FbcAnd_t and FbcOr_t, a given FbcAnd_t can potentially include nested "and"/"or" combinations of gene products.

Note

This class of objects was introduced in Version 2 of the SBML Level 3 Flux Balance Constraints (“fbc”) specification. In Version 1 of “fbc”, the information encoded by this class can be stored instead using the Association_t and GeneAssociation_t annotation classes. Please see the Version 1 and Version 2 “fbc” specifications for more details.

Member Function Documentation

int FbcAnd_addAssociation	(	FbcAnd_t *	fa,
		const FbcAssociation_t *	a
	)

Adds a copy of the given FbcAssociation_t to this FbcAnd_t.

Parameters

fa	the FbcAnd_t structure to which the FbcAssociation_t should be added.
a	the FbcAssociation_t object to add.

Returns

integer value indicating success/failure of the function. The value is drawn from the enumeration OperationReturnValues_t. The possible values returned by this function are:

• LIBSBML_OPERATION_SUCCESS
• LIBSBML_OPERATION_FAILED
• LIBSBML_INVALID_OBJECT
• LIBSBML_LEVEL_MISMATCH
• LIBSBML_VERSION_MISMATCH
• LIBSBML_PKG_VERSION_MISMATCH
• LIBSBML_DUPLICATE_OBJECT_ID

FbcAnd_t * FbcAnd_clone

(

const FbcAnd_t *

fa

)

Creates and returns a deep copy of this FbcAnd_t object.

Parameters

fa	the FbcAnd_t structure.

Returns

a (deep) copy of this FbcAnd_t object. pointer if a failure occurred.

FbcAnd_t * FbcAnd_create	(	unsigned int	level,
		unsigned int	version,
		unsigned int	pkgVersion
	)

Creates a new FbcAnd_t using the given SBML Level, Version and “fbc” package version.

Parameters

level	an unsigned int, the SBML Level to assign to this FbcAnd_t.
version	an unsigned int, the SBML Version to assign to this FbcAnd_t.
pkgVersion	an unsigned int, the SBML Fbc Version to assign to this FbcAnd_t.

Note

Attempting to add an object to an SBMLDocument_t having a different combination of SBML Level, Version and XML namespaces than the object itself will result in an error at the time a caller attempts to make the addition. A parent object must have compatible Level, Version and XML namespaces. (Strictly speaking, a parent may also have more XML namespaces than a child, but the reverse is not permitted.) The restriction is necessary to ensure that an SBML model has a consistent overall structure. This requires callers to manage their objects carefully, but the benefit is increased flexibility in how models can be created by permitting callers to create objects bottom-up if desired. In situations where objects are not yet attached to parents (e.g., SBMLDocument_t), knowledge of the intented SBML Level and Version help libSBML determine such things as whether it is valid to assign a particular value to an attribute. For packages, this means that the parent object to which this package element is being added must have been created with the package namespace, or that the package namespace was added to it, even if that parent is not a package object itself.

Warning

The pointer that is returned by this function is owned by the caller, who is responsible for deleting it. Any changes made to the element will not be reflected in any resulting SBML document unless the element is added to an SBML Document. Even in this case, the element's deletion is still the responsibility of the caller with two exceptions: if it is used as the "disownedItem" in the ListOf_appendAndOwn() or ListOf_insertAndOwn() functions. All other functions in libsbml add a copy of the element, and do not transfer ownership of the pointer.
