Method Detail

parse

public static void parse(java.io.File file,
                         Chromosome chromosome,
                         Resources resources)

Use this method to parse .chr files into a given chromosome.

This is not fully defensive as it doesn't check for number of inputs, doesn't compare rows and columns individually and doesn't account for levels back. It is not viable to implement these defensive measures with the chromosome format used by CGP.

Parameters:

file - the .chr file to parse from

chromosome - the chromosome to configure

resources - the experiment resources

save

public static void save(java.io.File file,
                        Chromosome chromosome,
                        Resources resources)

Writes a chromosome into the specified .chr file.

The file is written in the standard .chr format and can be read by the original CGP implementation.

Parameters:

file - the file to write to

chromosome - the chromosome to save

resources - a reference to the experiment's resources.
