Detailed Description

A class that represents a base parametersType.

The Mascot configuration files quantitation.xml and crosslinking.xml use a common node structure for a set of key-value pairs. ms_xml_parameters is a base class for ms_quant_parameters and ms_crosslinking_parameters, because the parameter sets share the same API.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ms_xml_parameters() [1/2]

Default constructor.

Assigns reasonable default values to all internal members.

◆ ms_xml_parameters() [2/2]

Copying constructor.

Parameters
srcanother instance of this class to copy the content from.

Member Function Documentation

◆ defaultValues()

void defaultValues ( )

Call this member if you want to start again.

All internal values are reset to their defaults, as if the object had been freshly created with the default constructor.

◆ deleteParameterByName()

bool deleteParameterByName ( const char *  name)
pure virtual

Remove a parameter from the list in memory by its unique name.

Parameters
namename of the parameter for deletion.
Returns
TRUE if the parameter has been found and successfully deleted and FALSE otherwise.

Implemented in ms_crosslinking_parameters, and ms_quant_parameters.

◆ deleteParameterByNumber()

bool deleteParameterByNumber ( const int  idx)
pure virtual

Remove a parameter from the list in memory by its index.

Parameters
idxnumber of the parameter for deletion from 0 to (getNumberOfParameters() - 1).
Returns
TRUE if the parameter has been found and successfully deleted and FALSE otherwise.

Implemented in ms_crosslinking_parameters, and ms_quant_parameters.

◆ getNumberOfParameters()

int getNumberOfParameters ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of parameters held.

Returns
total number of parameters in the list.

Implemented in ms_crosslinking_parameters, and ms_quant_parameters.

◆ getParameterSchemaType()

std::string getParameterSchemaType ( ) const
pure virtual

Obtain a symbolic name for the parameter element schema type.

The obtained type name can be used to get a corresponding type description object from ms_xml_schema.

Returns
symbolic type name for the element.

Implemented in ms_crosslinking_filters, ms_crosslinking_parameters, ms_crosslinking_scope, ms_crosslinking_settings, and ms_quant_parameters.

◆ getSchemaType()

std::string getSchemaType ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns name of the schema type that can be used to validate this element.

Additional information about the current object can be retrieved from the associated XML schema file. Every element in an XML document is defined with a named type, which you can use to find out what kind of limits (numerical or otherwise) are defined for values of that type.

validateShallow(), validateDeep()
Returns
a symbolic fully qualified type name (for example, "mqm:nameType").

Implemented in ms_crosslinking_filters, ms_crosslinking_parameters, ms_crosslinking_scope, ms_crosslinking_settings, ms_quant_average, ms_quant_integration, ms_quant_multiplex, ms_quant_normalisation, ms_quant_outliers, ms_quant_parameters, ms_quant_precursor, ms_quant_quality, ms_quant_replicate, and ms_quant_reporter.

◆ validateDeep()

std::string validateDeep ( const ms_xml_schema *  pSchemaFileObj) const

Performs validation of all child elements in addition to 'shallow' validation.

The current object can be checked against an XML schema. When using this method all possible checks are performed. However, this is not a substitute for the schema: some schema-defined constraint are not applied (unique fields, foreign keys etc.).

In order to make sure that current object is free from all syntax errors validate it as a part of the whole document.

See also
validateShallow(), getSchemaType()
Parameters
pSchemaFileObja valid schema object instance to validate against.
Returns
user-friendly description of any errors found during validation or an empty string if no errors detected.

◆ validateShallow()

std::string validateShallow ( const ms_xml_schema *  pSchemaFileObj) const

Performs simple validation of the top-level elements only.

The current object can be checked against some basic constraints in a schema without looking at children element types. When using this method only the current object and children derived from standard types (for example, restrictions with enumerations) are checked. For more thorough validation, use validateDeep().

See also
getSchemaType()
Parameters
pSchemaFileObja valid schema object instance to validate against.
Returns
user-friendly description of any errors found during validation or an empty string if no errors detected.
