28 Representation of the structure in \imp is via a collection of
29 Particle objects. However, since particles are general purpose, they
30 provide a basic set of tools for managing the data (e.g.
31 IMP::kernel::Model::add_attribute(), IMP::kernel::Model::get_value()
32 etc). Decorators wrap (or \quote{decorate}) particles to provide a much
33 richer interface. For example, most particles have Cartesian
34 coordinates. The class IMP::core::XYZ decorates such a particle to
35 provide functions to get and set the Cartesian coordinates as well as
36 compute distances between particles.
37 \code
38 d0= IMP.core.XYZ(p0)
39 d1= IMP.core.XYZ(p1)
40 print IMP.core.distance(d0,d1)
41 print d0.get_coordinates()
42 \endcode
43 
44 \par Decorator basics
45 
46 \note The `get_is_setup()` and `setup_particle()` functions mentioned below
47 can take any of either an IMP::kernel::Model* and IMP::kernel::ParticleIndex
48 pair, an IMP::kernel::Paricle* or another decorator to identify the particle.
49 We use various of those below.
50 
51 Dealing with decorators and particles has two main parts
52 -# setting up the particle to be used with that decorator
53 -# decorating the particle.
54 
55 To set up a particle to be used with the IMP::core::XYZ decorator we do
56 \code
57 d0= IMP.core.XYZ.setup_particle(m, pi, IMP.algebra.Vector3D(0,2,3))
58 \endcode
59 The method calls also decorates the particle and returns the decorator
60 which can now be used to manipulate the particle. For example we can
61 access the coordinates \c (0,2,3) by doing
62 \code
63 print d0.get_coordinates()
64 \endcode
65 We now say the particle is an XYZ particle. If that particle is
66 encountered later when we do not have the existing decorator available,
67 we can decorate it again (since it is already set up) by doing
68 \code
69 d1= IMP.core.XYZ(m, pi)
70 \endcode
71 
72 If you do not know if \c p has been set up for the XYZ decorator, you can
73 ask with
74 \code
75 if IMP.core.XYZ.get_is_setup(m, pi):
76 \endcode
77 
78 More abstractly, decorators can be used to
79 - maintain invariants: e.g. an IMP::atom::Bond particle always connects
80  two other particles, both of which are IMP::atom::Bonded particles.
81 - add functionality: e.g. you can get the coordinates as an
82  IMP::algebra::Vector3D
83 - provide uniform names for attributes: so you do not use \quote{x} some places
84 and \quote{X} other places
85 
86 To see a list of all available decorators and to see what functions
87 all decorators have, look at the list of classes which inherit from
88 IMP::Decorator, below.
89 
90 See the IMP::example::ExampleDecorator %example for how to implement a
91 simple decorator.
92 
93 \note Decorator objects are ordered based on the address of the wrapped
94 particle. Like pointers, they are logical values so can be in \c if
95 statements.
96 
97 \implementation{Decorator, IMP_DECORATOR, IMP::example::ExampleDecorator}
98 \n\n For efficiency reasons attribute keys should always be created
99 lazily (at the time of the first use), and not be created as static
100 variables. The reason for this is that initialized attribute keys result
101 in space being allocated in decorators, even before they are used.\n\n
102 Implementors should consult IMP::example::ExampleDecorator,
103 IMP_DECORATOR_METHODS(), IMP_DECORATOR_WITH_TRAITS_METHODS(),
104 IMP_DECORATOR_GET().
105 
106 A decorator can be cast to a IMP::kernel::Particle* in C++. You have to
107 use the Decorator::get_particle() function in Python.
108 
109 \note It is undefined behavior to use a decorator constructed on
110 a particle that is no longer part of a model. Since constructing
111 decorators is very cheap, you probably should not store decorators,
112 and then would not have this problem.
113 
114 See example::ExampleDecorator to see what a minimal decorator looks like.
