Class FuzzyInterval<E extends FuzzyInterval.FuzzyComparable<E>>

java.lang.Object
  edu.stanford.nlp.util.Pair<E,E>
      edu.stanford.nlp.util.Interval<E>
          edu.stanford.nlp.util.FuzzyInterval<E>

Type Parameters:

E - The type of the endpoint used in the FuzzyInterval.

All Implemented Interfaces:

HasInterval<E>, PrettyLoggable, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Pair<E,E>>

public class FuzzyInterval<E extends FuzzyInterval.FuzzyComparable<E>>
extends Interval<E>

A FuzzyInterval is an extension of Interval where not all endpoints are always specified or comparable. It is assumed that most endpoints will be comparable so that there is some meaningful relationship between most FuzzyIntervals

getRelationFlags

public int getRelationFlags(Interval<E> other)

Description copied from class: Interval

Return set of flags indicating possible relationships between this interval and another interval.

Overrides:

getRelationFlags in class Interval<E extends FuzzyInterval.FuzzyComparable<E>>

Parameters:

other - Interval with which to compare with

Returns:

flags indicating possible relationship between this interval and the other interval

getRelation

public Interval.RelType getRelation(Interval<E> other)

Description copied from class: Interval

Returns the relationship of this interval to the other interval The most specific relationship from the following is returned. NONE: the other interval is null EQUAL: this have same endpoints as other OVERLAP: this and other overlaps BEFORE: this ends before other starts AFTER: this starts after other ends BEGIN_MEET_END: this begin is the same as the others end END_MEET_BEGIN: this end is the same as the others begin CONTAIN: this contains the other INSIDE: this is inside the other UNKNOWN: this is returned if for some reason it is not possible to determine the exact relationship of the two intervals (possible for fuzzy intervals)

Overrides:

getRelation in class Interval<E extends FuzzyInterval.FuzzyComparable<E>>

Parameters:

other - The other interval with which to compare with

Returns:

RelType indicating relationship between the two interval
