Detailed Description

Select hierarchy particles identified by the biological name.

Given an atom.Hierarchy (or atom.Hierarchies) this will select a subset of the child particles by the biological name.

For example (in Python)

Selection(hierarchy=h, molecule="myprotein", terminus=Selection.C)
Selection(hierarchy=h, molecule="myprotein", residue_index=133)
Selection(hierarchy=h, molecule="myprotein", residue_indexes=range(133,138))

each select the C-terminus of the protein "myprotein" (assuming the last residue index is 133, and the residues are leaves, containing no atoms). (In C++, use one of the other constructors, then call one or more of the set_* methods.)

Selection objects can be combined using basic set operations (union, intersection, difference, symmetric difference). In Python the equivalent operators (|, &, -, ^ respectively) can be used (the similar in-place |=, &=, -= and ^= operators also work). This requires that all of the objects being combined use the same hierarchy or hierarchies. For example (in Python)

Selection(hierarchy=h, residue_type=IMP.atom.ASP) \
- (Selection(hierarchy=h, atom_type=IMP.atom.AT_CG)
| Selection(hierarchy=h, terminus=Selection.C))

selects all atoms in ASP residues except for CG or at the C-terminus. The resulting Selection makes a copy of the Selections it was combined from, so changing the original Selections does not change that Selection.

To actually get the selected particles, call get_selected_particle_indexes() or get_selected_particles().

This class assumes the hierarchies are valid (and if they are not, may not select the correct particles). If in doubt, call IMP::atom::Hierarchy::get_is_valid() on each one first to verify this.

Note
The highest resolution representation that fits is returned. If you want lower resolution, use the resolution parameter to select the desired resolution (pass a very large number to get the coarsest representation).

When using Python, you have much more control over construction due to the use of keyword arguments. You can provide any subset of the arguments (although one of hierarchy or hierarchies must be provided).

Member Function Documentation

Selection IMP::atom::Selection::create_clone ( )

Make a clone of this Selection.

The clone will initially contain the same predicates as the original, but adding new predicates to either Selection will not affect the other (as opposed to simply copy the Selection object, where both copies share the same list of predicates).

Hierarchies IMP::atom::Selection::get_hierarchies ( ) const

Return the hierarchies that the Selection was constructed with.

ParticleIndexes IMP::atom::Selection::get_selected_particle_indexes ( bool  with_representation = true) const

Get the indexes of the selected particles.

Note
The particles are those selected at the time this method is called, not when the Selection object was created.
Parameters
with_representationIf true (the default) then extend the search down the hierarchy to find all representational particles that match - that is, those with x,y,z coordinates. For example, selecting a residue name will typically return all of the Atom particles in that residue (not the Residue particle itself). If false, stop the search at the highest level of the hierarchy that matches (so, in the case above, return the Residue particle).
Returns
the indexes of the selected particles.
ParticlesTemp IMP::atom::Selection::get_selected_particles ( bool  with_representation = true) const

Get the selected particles.

See Also
get_selected_particle_indexes().
void IMP::atom::Selection::set_atom_type ( AtomType  types)

Select atoms with only the passed type.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_atom_types ( AtomTypes  types)

Select atoms whose types are in the list, eg AT_CA.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_chain_id ( std::string  c)

Select with the passed chain id.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_chain_ids ( Strings  chains)

Select particles in chains with the given ids.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_copy_index ( unsigned int  copy)

Select elements with Copy::get_copy_index() that match.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_copy_indexes ( Ints  copies)

Select elements with Copy::get_copy_index() that are in the list.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_difference ( const Selection s)

Select elements that are in this Selection but not the passed one.

Note
both Selections must be on the same Hierarchy or Hierarchies

Select only the single domain with that name.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_domains ( Strings  names)

Select domains with the specified names.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_element ( Element  e)

Select atoms of the given Element.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_hierarchy_types ( Ints  types)

Select only particles whose type matches the passed type, eg Molecule, Fragment, Residue etc. See GetByType for how to specify the types. Ints are used to make swig happy.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_intersection ( const Selection s)

Select elements that are in both this Selection and the passed one.

Note
both Selections must be on the same Hierarchy or Hierarchies
void IMP::atom::Selection::set_molecule ( std::string  mol)

Select elements that match the core::ParticleType.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_particle_types ( core::ParticleTypes  t)

Select elements that match the core::ParticleType.

void IMP::atom::Selection::set_representation_type ( RepresentationType  t)

Select elements that are in this Selection or the passed one but not both.

Note
both Selections must be on the same Hierarchy or Hierarchies
void IMP::atom::Selection::set_terminus ( Terminus  t)

Select the leaf particles at the N or C terminus.

If the leaf particles are atoms, a terminus is simply an N or C atom where its parent is also a terminus particle. Otherwise, a terminus particle is the first (for N) or last (for C) child of its parent.

Select elements that are in either this Selection or the passed one.

Note
both Selections must be on the same Hierarchy or Hierarchies
