Detailed Description

A space to add temporary classes while experimenting without forcing you to create your own module.

No classes should ever be committed as part of the scratch module.

It also provides a good module to write classes in that are used for demonstrating bugs in IMP as developers can easily drop the test classes into their own copy of scratch.

Standard module functions

All IMP modules have a set of standard functions to help get information about the module and about files associated with the module.

std::string get_module_version ()
 
std::string get_module_name ()
 
std::string get_data_path (std::string file_name)
 Return the full path to installed data. More...
 
std::string get_example_path (std::string file_name)
 Return the path to installed example data for this module. More...
 

Function Documentation

std::string IMP::scratch::get_data_path ( std::string  file_name)

Return the full path to installed data.

Each module has its own data directory, so be sure to use the version of this function in the correct module. To read the data file "data_library" that was placed in the data directory of module "mymodule", do something like

std::ifstream in(IMP::mymodule::get_data_path("data_library"));

This will ensure that the code works when IMP is installed or used via the setup_environment.sh script.

std::string IMP::scratch::get_example_path ( std::string  file_name)

Return the path to installed example data for this module.

Each module has its own example directory, so be sure to use the version of this function in the correct module. For example to read the file example_protein.pdb located in the examples directory of the IMP::atom module, do

model));

This will ensure that the code works when IMP is installed or used via the setup_environment.sh script.
