Detailed Description

Abstract base class to do perform item picking (typically molecules) using a distance matrix.

This class should never be instantiated by itself. One of the child classes need to be used. The picking algorithm itself is missing here and only the child calsses implement that This class contains a pointer to a distance matrix, but it is not responsible for cleaning it up

Member Function Documentation

virtual RDKit::INT_VECT RDPickers::DistPicker::pick ( const double *  distMat,
unsigned int  poolSize,
unsigned int  pickSize 
) const [pure virtual]

this is a virtual function specific to the type of algorihtm used

The child classes need to implement this function

ARGUMENTS:

Parameters:
distMat - distance matrix - a vector of double. It is assumed that only the lower triangle elements of the matrix are supplied in a 1D array
poolSize - the size of teh pool to pick the items from. It is assumed that the distance matrix above contains the right number of elements; i.e. poolSize*(poolSize-1)
pickSize - the number items to pick from pool (<= poolSize)
Returns:
a vector with indices of the picked items.

Implemented in RDPickers::HierarchicalClusterPicker, and RDPickers::MaxMinPicker.
