Detailed Description

Base class for sample treatments (Digestion, Modification, Tagging, ...)

Virtual base class for all sample treatments.

The type of the treatment can be determined through the getType() method.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SampleTreatment() [1/3]

SampleTreatment ( const String & type )

Constructor.

Use a unique type string for each treatment type

◆ SampleTreatment() [2/3]

SampleTreatment ( const SampleTreatment & )

Copy constructor.

Note: Do not forget to call it when you derive a class from SampleTreatment!

◆ ~SampleTreatment()

virtual ~SampleTreatment ( )

virtual

destructor

◆ SampleTreatment() [3/3]

SampleTreatment ( )

private

Default constructor hidden to force setting of a type.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual SampleTreatment* clone ( ) const

pure virtual

A clone method.

clone method that creates a copy and returns a pointer (base class pointer). Used to copy sample treatments when only a pointer to this base class is available.

Implemented in Modification, Tagging, and Digestion.

◆ getComment()

const String& getComment ( ) const

returns the description of the sample treatment

◆ getType()

const String& getType ( ) const

return the treatment type

The type_ has to be set in the default constructor. It is used to determine the kind of sample treatment, when only a pointer to this base class is available.

◆ operator=()

SampleTreatment& operator= ( const SampleTreatment & )

Assignment operator.

Note: Do not forget to call it when you derive a class from SampleTreatment!

◆ operator==()

virtual bool operator== ( const SampleTreatment & rhs ) const

virtual

Equality operator.

The equality operators of derived classes also take a SampleTreatment reference as argument. They check the type and cast the reference to the right type if the type matches.

Note: Do not forget to call it when you derive a class from SampleTreatment!

Reimplemented in Modification, Tagging, and Digestion.

◆ setComment()

void setComment ( const String & comment )

sets the description of the sample treatment
