Class ConverterUtils.DataSink

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.converters.ConverterUtils.DataSink

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, RevisionHandler

Enclosing class:
  ConverterUtils

    public static class ConverterUtils.DataSink

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, RevisionHandler

Helper class for saving data to files. Via the ConverterUtils class it determines which converter to use for saving the data. It is the logical counterpart to `DataSource`.

Constructor Summary
`ConverterUtils.DataSink(java.io.OutputStream stream)` initializes the sink to save the data in the stream (always in ARFF format).
`ConverterUtils.DataSink(Saver saver)` initializes the sink to save the data to the given Saver (expected to be fully configured).
`ConverterUtils.DataSink(java.lang.String filename)` initializes the sink to save the data to the given file.

Method Summary
`java.lang.String` | `getRevision()` Returns the revision string.
`static void` | `main(java.lang.String[] args)` for testing only - takes a data file as input and a data file for the output.
`void` | `write(Instances data)` writes the given data either via the saver or to the defined output stream (depending on the constructor).
`static void` | `write(java.io.OutputStream stream, Instances data)` writes the data to the given stream (always in ARFF format).
`static void` | `write(Saver saver, Instances data)` writes the data via the given saver.
`static void` | `write(java.lang.String filename, Instances data)` writes the data to the given file.
