Detailed Description

Consumer class that passes all consumed data through a set of operations.

This consumer allows to chain multiple data consumers and applying them in a pre-specified order. This can be useful if a certain operation on a dataset needs to be performed but some pre-processing (data reduction etc.) or post-processing (writing to disk, caching on disk). The different processing steps can be added to the chaining consumer (in the correct order) without knowledge of the specific pre/post processing steps.

Usage:

MSDataTransformingConsumer * transforming_consumer_first = new MSDataTransformingConsumer(); // apply some transformation
MSDataTransformingConsumer * transforming_consumer_second = new MSDataTransformingConsumer(); // apply second transformation
MSDataWritingConsumer * writing_consumer = new MSDataWritingConsumer(outfile); // writing to disk

std::vector<Interfaces::IMSDataConsumer *> consumer_list;
consumer_list.push_back(transforming_consumer_first);
consumer_list.push_back(transforming_consumer_second);
consumer_list.push_back(writing_consumer);
MSDataChainingConsumer * chaining_consumer = new MSDataChainingConsumer(consumer_list);

// now chaining_consumer can be passed to a function expecting a IMSDataConsumer interface

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MSDataChainingConsumer() [1/2]

MSDataChainingConsumer

(

)

Default Constructor.

MSDataChainingConsumer() [2/2]

MSDataChainingConsumer

(

std::vector< Interfaces::IMSDataConsumer *>

consumers

)

Constructor.

Pass a list of consumers that should be called sequentially

Note

By default, this does not transfers ownership - it is the callers responsibility to delete the pointer to consumer afterwards.

~MSDataChainingConsumer()

~MSDataChainingConsumer

(

)

Destructor.

Does nothing. Does not destroy underlying consumers, therefore is the responsibility of the caller to destroy all consumers.

Member Function Documentation

appendConsumer()

void appendConsumer

(

Interfaces::IMSDataConsumer *

consumer

)

Append a consumer to the chain of consumers to be executed.

Note

This does not transfer ownership - it is the callers responsibility to delete the pointer to consumer afterwards.

consumeChromatogram()

void consumeChromatogram ( ChromatogramType &  c )

virtual

Call all consumers in the specified order for the given chromatogram.

Implements IMSDataConsumer.

consumeSpectrum()

void consumeSpectrum ( SpectrumType &  s )

virtual

Call all consumers in the specified order for the given spectrum.

Implements IMSDataConsumer.

setExpectedSize()

void setExpectedSize ( Size  s_size, Size  c_size  )

virtual

Set expected size for all consumers.

Will set the expected size for all chained consumers

Implements IMSDataConsumer.

setExperimentalSettings()

void setExperimentalSettings ( const ExperimentalSettings &  settings )

virtual

Set experimental settings for all consumers.

Will set the experimental settings for all chained consumers

Implements IMSDataConsumer.
