27 //! Interface to specialized Particle types (e.g. atoms)
28 /**
29 Representation of the structure in \imp is via a collection of
30 Particle objects. However, since particles are general purpose, they
31 provide a basic set of tools for managing the data (e.g.
32 IMP::Model::add_attribute(), IMP::Model::get_value()
33 etc). Decorators wrap (or \quote{decorate}) particles to provide a much
34 richer interface. For example, most particles have Cartesian
35 coordinates. The class IMP::core::XYZ decorates such a particle to
36 provide functions to get and set the Cartesian coordinates as well as
37 compute distances between particles.
38 \code
39 d0= IMP.core.XYZ(p0)
40 d1= IMP.core.XYZ(p1)
41 print IMP.core.distance(d0,d1)
42 print d0.get_coordinates()
43 \endcode
44 
45 \par Decorator basics
46 
47 \note The `get_is_setup()` and `setup_particle()` functions mentioned below
48 can take any of either an IMP::Model* and IMP::ParticleIndex
49 pair, an IMP::Particle* or another decorator to identify the particle.
50 We use various of those below.
51 
52 Dealing with decorators and particles has two main parts
53 -# setting up the particle to be used with that decorator
54 -# decorating the particle.
55 
56 To set up a particle to be used with the IMP::core::XYZ decorator we do
57 \code
58 d0= IMP.core.XYZ.setup_particle(m, pi, IMP.algebra.Vector3D(0,2,3))
59 \endcode
60 The method call decorates the particle and also returns the decorator
61 which can now be used to manipulate the particle. For example we can
62 access the coordinates \c (0,2,3) by doing
63 \code
64 print(d0.get_coordinates())
65 \endcode
66 We now say the particle is an XYZ particle. If that particle is
67 encountered later when we do not have the existing decorator available,
68 we can decorate it again (since it is already set up) by doing
69 \code
70 d1= IMP.core.XYZ(m, pi)
71 \endcode
72 
73 If you do not know if \c pi has been set up for the XYZ decorator, you can
74 ask with
75 \code
76 if IMP.core.XYZ.get_is_setup(m, pi):
77 \endcode
78 
79 More abstractly, decorators can be used to
80 - maintain invariants: e.g. an IMP::atom::Bond particle always connects
81  two other particles, both of which are IMP::atom::Bonded particles.
82 - add functionality: e.g. you can get the coordinates as an
83  IMP::algebra::Vector3D.
84 - provide uniform names for attributes: so you do not use \quote{x} in
85  some places and \quote{X} in other places.
86 
87 To see a list of all available decorators and to see what functions
88 all decorators have, look at the list of classes which inherit from
89 IMP::Decorator, below.
90 
91 See the IMP::example::ExampleDecorator %example for how to implement a
92 simple decorator.
93 
94 \note Decorator objects are ordered based on the address of the wrapped
95 particle. Like pointers, they are logical values so can be in \c if
96 statements.
97 
98 \implementation{Decorator, IMP_DECORATOR, IMP::example::ExampleDecorator}
99 \n\n For efficiency reasons attribute keys should always be created
100 lazily (at the time of the first use), and not be created as static
101 variables. The reason for this is that initialized attribute keys result
102 in space being allocated in decorators, even before they are used.\n\n
103 Implementers should consult IMP::example::ExampleDecorator,
104 IMP_DECORATOR_METHODS(), IMP_DECORATOR_WITH_TRAITS_METHODS(),
105 IMP_DECORATOR_GET().
106 
107 A decorator can be cast to a IMP::Particle* in C++. In Python Decorator objects
108 can be used anywhere where Particle or ParticleIndex objects are expected
109 (use the get_particle() method to get the Particle itself).
110 
111 \note It is undefined behavior to use a decorator constructed on
112 a particle that is no longer part of a model. Since constructing
113 decorators is very cheap, you probably should not store decorators,
114 and then would not have this problem.
115 
116 See example::ExampleDecorator to see what a minimal decorator looks like.
