The Unanchorable interface provides a set of basic operations available on Unanchorable values such as intervals.

Method Index

o asIntervalArray()
Retrieve the Intervals from this Unanchorable.
o enumerateIntervals()
Create an Enumeration on the Unanchorable.
o equals(Unanchorable)
Test for equality, needed only for supporting Hashtables, use equalTo for comparing Unanchorables directly.
o hashCode()
Generate the hash code value, needed for supporting Hashtables.
o image()
Build a nice string image of an Unanchorable, for debugging mostly.
o kind()
What kind of Unanchorable is this?
o largest()
Returns the largest Interval in the Unanchorable.
o newInstance(Interval[])
Construct a new Instance of this Unanchorable.
o smallest()
Returns the smallest Interval in the Unanchorable.

Methods

o image 
  public abstract String image()
Build a nice string image of an Unanchorable, for debugging mostly.

Returns:
String image
o hashCode 
  public abstract int hashCode()
Generate the hash code value, needed for supporting Hashtables.

Returns:
hash code value
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
o equals 
  public abstract boolean equals(Unanchorable beta)
Test for equality, needed only for supporting Hashtables, use equalTo for comparing Unanchorables directly.

Returns:
true or false
o smallest 
  public abstract Interval smallest()
Returns the smallest Interval in the Unanchorable.

Returns:
Interval - the smallest Interval
o largest 
  public abstract Interval largest()
Returns the largest Interval in the Unanchorable.

Returns:
Interval - the largest Interval
o enumerateIntervals 
  public abstract Enumeration enumerateIntervals()
Create an Enumeration on the Unanchorable.

o newInstance 
  public abstract Unanchorable newInstance(Interval i[])
Construct a new Instance of this Unanchorable.

Returns:
- new Unanchorable
o asIntervalArray 
  public abstract Interval[] asIntervalArray()
Retrieve the Intervals from this Unanchorable.

Returns:
- array of all the Intervals in the Unanchorable
o kind 
  public abstract String kind()
What kind of Unanchorable is this?

Returns:
- String as name of Unanchorable, OK this is cheesy...
