Constructor Detail

### AbstractSaver

    public AbstractSaver()

Method Detail

### resetOptions

    public void resetOptions()

  resets the options

### resetStructure

    public void resetStructure()

  Resets the structure (header information of the instances)

### setRetrieval

    public void setRetrieval(int mode)

  Sets the retrieval mode.

  Specified by:
    `setRetrieval` in interface `Saver`
  Parameters:
    `mode` - the retrieval mode

### getWriteMode

    public int getWriteMode()

  Gets the write mode.

  Specified by:
    `getWriteMode` in interface `Saver`
  Returns:
    the write mode

### setInstances

    public void setInstances(Instances instances)

  Sets instances that should be stored.

  Specified by:
    `setInstances` in interface `Saver`
  Parameters:
    `instances` - the instances

### getInstances

    public Instances getInstances()

  Gets instances that should be stored.

  Returns:
    the instances

### setDestination

    public void setDestination(java.io.File file)
                        throws java.io.IOException

  Default implementation throws an IOException.

  Specified by:
    `setDestination` in interface `Saver`
  Parameters:
    `file` - the File
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - always

### setDestination

    public void setDestination(java.io.OutputStream output)
                        throws java.io.IOException

  Default implementation throws an IOException.

  Specified by:
    `setDestination` in interface `Saver`
  Parameters:
    `output` - the OutputStream
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - always

### getCapabilities

    public Capabilities getCapabilities()

  Returns the Capabilities of this saver. Derived savers have to override this method to enable capabilities.

  Specified by:
    `getCapabilities` in interface `CapabilitiesHandler`
  Returns:
    the capabilities of this object
  See Also:
    `Capabilities`

### setStructure

    public int setStructure(Instances headerInfo)

  Sets the strcuture of the instances for the first step of incremental saving. The instances only need to have a header.

  Parameters:
    `headerInfo` - an instances object.
  Returns:
    the appropriate write mode

### cancel

    public void cancel()

  Cancels the incremental saving process if the write mode is CANCEL.

### writeIncremental

    public void writeIncremental(Instance i)
                          throws java.io.IOException

  Method for incremental saving. Standard behaviour: no incremental saving is possible, therefore throw an IOException. An incremental saving process is stopped by calling this method with null.

  Specified by:
    `writeIncremental` in interface `Saver`
  Parameters:
    `i` - the instance to be saved
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - IOEXception if the instance acnnot be written to the specified destination

### writeBatch

    public abstract void writeBatch()
                             throws java.io.IOException

  Writes to a file in batch mode To be overridden.

  Specified by:
    `writeBatch` in interface `Saver`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - exception if writting is not possible

                                      throws java.lang.Exception

  Default implementation throws an IOException.

  Specified by:
    `getFileExtension` in interface `Saver`

    public void setFile(java.io.File file)
                 throws java.io.IOException

  Default implementation throws an IOException.

  Specified by:
    `setFile` in interface `Saver`

                       throws java.lang.Exception

  Default implementation throws an IOException.

  Specified by:
    `setFilePrefix` in interface `Saver`
  Parameters:
    `prefix` - the file prefix

    public java.lang.String filePrefix()
                                throws java.lang.Exception

  Default implementation throws an IOException.

  Specified by:
    `filePrefix` in interface `Saver`
  Returns:
    the prefix of the file name
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - always
    `java.lang.Exception` - exception if a Saver not implementing FileSourcedConverter is used.

### setDir

    public void setDir(java.lang.String dir)
                throws java.io.IOException

  Default implementation throws an IOException.
