OEFingerPrint

class OEFingerPrint : public OESystem::OEBitVector

OEFingerPrint class is used to encode molecular properties. An OEFingerPrint object is a typed bitvector (OEBitVector). The type of an OEFingerPrint object is set when it is initialized.

The following methods are publicly inherited from OEBitVector:

operator<

FirstBit

PrevBit

operator=

FromHexString

SetBitOff

operator-=

GetData

SetBitOn

operator[]

GetSize

SetData

operator^=

IsBitOn

SetRangeOff

operator|=

IsEmpty

SetRangeOn

operator &=

LastBit

SetSize

ClearBits

NegateBits

ToHexString

CountBits

NextBit

ToggleBit

Constructors

OEFingerPrint()

Default constructor that creates an OEFingerPrint object with an uninitialized type, zero pointer (OEFPTypeBase).

OEFingerPrint(const OEFingerPrint &rhs)

Copy constructor.

operator=

OEFingerPrint &operator=(const OEFingerPrint &rhs)

Assignment operator that copies the data of the rhs OEFingerPrint object into the left-hand side OEFingerPrint object.

operator==

bool operator==(const OEFingerPrint& rhs) const

Two OEFingerPrint objects are considered to be equivalent only if they have the same fingerprint type (OEFPTypeBase) and have identical bit-vectors (OEBitVector).

operator!=

bool operator!=(const OEFingerPrint& rhs) const

Two OEFingerPrint objects are considered to be different if either they have different fingerprint types (OEFPTypeBase) or they have different bit-vectors (OEBitVector).

operator bool

operator bool() const

Returns whether the OEFingerPrint has been initialized, i.e., has a valid type.

GetFPTypeBase

const OEFPTypeBase *GetFPTypeBase() const

Returns a const pointer to the fingerprint type (OEFPTypeBase) of the OEFingerPrint object. This method will return 0 if the OEFingerPrint object has not been initialized.

SetFPTypeBase

void SetFPTypeBase(const OEFPTypeBase *t)

Sets the fingerprint type of a OEFingerPrint object.

The following functions set the type of the fingerprint when an OEFingerPrint object is initialized:

Warning

Use this method with caution.

The type of a OEFingerPrint object (that is an OEFPTypeBase) encodes how the fingerprint is generated. Changing this type can mean that the information represented by bitvector of the fingerprint will be misinterpreted.
