java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
      cytoscape.util.CyFileFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

FilenameFilter

Direct Known Subclasses:

GMLFileFilter, SIFFileFilter, XGMMLFileFilter

public class CyFileFilter

extends FileFilter

implements FilenameFilter

A convenience implementation of FileFilter that filters out all files except for those type extensions that it knows about. Extensions are of the type ".foo", which is typically found on Windows and Unix boxes, but not on Macinthosh. Case is ignored.

Constructor Detail

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter()

Creates a file filter. If no filters are added, then all files are accepted.

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter(String extension)

Creates a file filter that accepts files with the given extension. Example: new ExampleFileFilter("jpg");

addExtension(java.lang.String)

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter(String extension,
                    String description)

Creates a file filter that accepts the given file type. Example: new ExampleFileFilter("jpg", "JPEG Image Images"); Note that the "." before the extension is not needed. If provided, it will be ignored.

See Also:

addExtension(java.lang.String)

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter(String[] filters)

Creates a file filter from the given string array. Example: new ExampleFileFilter(String {"gif", "jpg"}); Note that the "." before the extension is not needed adn will be ignored.

See Also:

addExtension(java.lang.String)

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter(String[] filters,
                    String description)

Creates a file filter from the given string array and description. Example: new ExampleFileFilter(String {"gif", "jpg"}, "Gif and JPG Images"); Note that the "." before the extension is not needed and will be ignored.

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter(String extension,
                    String description,
                    String nature)

Creates a file filter that accepts the given file type. Example: new ExampleFileFilter("jpg", "JPEG Image Images"); Note that the "." before the extension is not needed. If provided, it will be ignored.

See Also:

addExtension(java.lang.String)

CyFileFilter

public CyFileFilter(String[] filters,
                    String description,
                    String nature)

Creates a file filter from the given string array and description. Example: new ExampleFileFilter(String {"gif", "jpg"}, "Gif and JPG Images"); Note that the "." before the extension is not needed and will be ignored.

addExtension(java.lang.String)

Method Detail

accept

public boolean accept(File f)

Return true if this file should be shown in the directory pane, false if it shouldn't. Files that begin with "." are ignored.

See Also:

getExtension(java.io.File), FileFilter#accepts

accept

public boolean accept(File dir,
                      String name)

In order to implement the AWT version of this class "FileNameFilter", the following method must also be implemented.

Specified by:

accept in interface FilenameFilter

accept

public boolean accept(String name)

getExtension

public String getExtension(File f)

Return the extension portion of the file's name.

See Also:

getExtension(java.io.File), FileFilter.accept(java.io.File)

getExtension

public String getExtension(String filename)

addExtension

public void addExtension(String extension)

Adds a filetype "dot" extension to filter against. For example: the following code will create a filter that filters out all files except those that end in ".jpg" and ".tif": ExampleFileFilter filter = new ExampleFileFilter(); filter.addExtension("jpg"); filter.addExtension("tif"); Note that the "." before the extension is not needed and will be ignored.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns the human readable description of this filter. For example: "JPEG and GIF Image Files (*.jpg, *.gif)"

See Also:

setDescription, setExtensionListInDescription, isExtensionListInDescription, FileFilter.getDescription()

setDescription

public void setDescription(String description)

Sets the human readable description of this filter. For example: filter.setDescription("Gif and JPG Images");

See Also:

setDescription, setExtensionListInDescription, isExtensionListInDescription

setExtensionListInDescription

public void setExtensionListInDescription(boolean b)

Determines whether the extension list (.jpg, .gif, etc) should show up in the human readable description. Only relevent if a description was provided in the constructor or using setDescription();

See Also:

getDescription, setDescription, isExtensionListInDescription

isExtensionListInDescription

public boolean isExtensionListInDescription()

Returns whether the extension list (.jpg, .gif, etc) should show up in the human readable description. Only relevent if a description was provided in the constructor or using setDescription();

See Also:

getDescription, setDescription, setExtensionListInDescription

getExtensionSet

public Set getExtensionSet()

Returns the Set of file extension names.

getReader

public cytoscape.data.readers.GraphReader getReader(String fileName)

Returns the reader. This should be overridden by file type subclasses.

getFileNature

public String getFileNature()

Returns the nature of the file. "Nature" refers to a grouping of file types. For instance, GML, XGMML, and SIF are all file formats that contain graphs, therefore they belong to the GRAPH_NATURE. This allows the ImportHandler to return all file types with the same nature.

setFileNature

public void setFileNature(String nature)

Sets the nature of the files for this filter. The files can be of the nature: Node, Edge, Graph, or Vizmap;
