Constructor Detail

XcasDiff

public XcasDiff()

Default constructor.

XcasDiff

public XcasDiff(XcasFile xf1,
                XcasFile xf2)

Construct an XCASDiff object from two XcasFile objects.

Parameters:

xf1 - An XcasFile object.

xf2 - Another XcasFile object.

Method Detail

recalculate

public final void recalculate()

Calculates the differences or recalculates after the two files are updated. Works on an copy of the original annotations. Original objects are not touched. Must be called if the original XcasFile is modified elsewhere.

printCommon

public void printCommon()

Prints common elements along with their attributes in the two XCAS files to stdout.

printDiff

public void printDiff()

Prints elements that are unique to each XCAS file to stdout.

printUniq

public void printUniq(int i)

Prints elements that are unique to XCAS file i.

Parameters:

i - XCAS file number, specified when constructing this object, can only be 1 or 2.

printHTML

public void printHTML(Writer w)

Writes an HTML summary of the comparison of the two XCAS files.

Parameters:

w - An Writer object to write to.

printDiff

public static void printDiff(XcasFile f1,
                             XcasFile f2)

Prints elements that are unique to each XCAS file to stdout. First constructs an anonymous XcasDiff object, and calls its printDiff(). Avoid using this method if you plan to use XcasDiff object later.

Parameters:

f1 - An XcasFile object.

f2 - Another XcasFile object.

printHTML

public static void printHTML(XcasFile f1,
                             XcasFile f2,
                             Writer w)

Writes an HTML summary of the comparison of the two specified XCAS files. First constructs an anonymous XcasDiff object, and calls its printHTML(Writer). Avoid using this method if you plan to use XcasDiff object later.

Parameters:

f1 - An XcasFile object.

f2 - Another XcasFile object.

w - An Writer object to write to.
