    `Capabilities`

### setInputFormat

    public boolean setInputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

  Sets the format of the input instances.

  Overrides:
    `setInputFormat` in class `Filter`
  Parameters:
    `instanceInfo` - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).
  Returns:
    true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if format cannot be processed

### input

    public boolean input(Instance instance)
