Enum Interval.RelType

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<Interval.RelType>
      edu.stanford.nlp.util.Interval.RelType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Interval.RelType>

Enclosing class:

Interval<E extends java.lang.Comparable<E>>

public static enum Interval.RelType
extends java.lang.Enum<Interval.RelType>

RelType gives the basic types of relations between two intervals

Enum Constant Summary

AFTER
this interval starts after the other ends

BEFORE
this interval ends before the other starts

BEGIN_MEET_END
this interval's begin is the same as the other's end

CONTAIN
this interval contains the other

END_MEET_BEGIN
this interval's end is the same as the other's begin

EQUAL
this interval and the other have the same endpoints

INSIDE
this interval is inside the other

NONE
There is no relationship between the two interval.

OVERLAP
this interval and the other overlaps

UNKNOWN
The relations between the two intervals are unknown.

Method Summary

static Interval.RelType	valueOf(java.lang.String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static Interval.RelType[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

BEFORE

public static final Interval.RelType BEFORE

this interval ends before the other starts

AFTER

public static final Interval.RelType AFTER

this interval starts after the other ends

EQUAL

public static final Interval.RelType EQUAL

this interval and the other have the same endpoints

BEGIN_MEET_END

public static final Interval.RelType BEGIN_MEET_END

this interval's begin is the same as the other's end

END_MEET_BEGIN

public static final Interval.RelType END_MEET_BEGIN

this interval's end is the same as the other's begin

CONTAIN

public static final Interval.RelType CONTAIN

this interval contains the other

INSIDE

public static final Interval.RelType INSIDE

this interval is inside the other

OVERLAP

public static final Interval.RelType OVERLAP

this interval and the other overlaps

UNKNOWN

public static final Interval.RelType UNKNOWN

The relations between the two intervals are unknown. This is only used for fuzzy intervals, where not all the endpoints are comparable.

NONE

public static final Interval.RelType NONE

There is no relationship between the two interval. This is used when one of the intervals being compared is null.

Method Detail

values

public static Interval.RelType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Interval.RelType c : Interval.RelType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Interval.RelType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
