encodeValue

public void encodeValue(BCF2Encoder encoder,
 Object value,
 BCF2Type type,
 int minValues)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: BCF2FieldEncoder

Key abstract method that should encode a value of the given type into the encoder. Value will be of a type appropriate to the underlying encoder. If the genotype field is represented as an int[], this will be value, and the encoder needs to handle encoding all of the values in the int[]. The argument should be used, not the getType() method in the superclass as an outer loop might have decided a more general type (int16) to use, even through this encoder could have been done with int8. If minValues > 0, then encodeValue must write in at least minValues items from value. If value is atomic, this means that minValues - 1 MISSING values should be added to the encoder. If minValues is a collection type (int[]) then minValues - values.length should be added. This argument is intended to handle padding of values in genotype fields.

Specified by:

encodeValue in class BCF2FieldEncoder

Throws:

IOException

hasConstantNumElements

public boolean hasConstantNumElements()

Overrides:

hasConstantNumElements in class BCF2FieldEncoder

Returns:

True if this field has a constant, fixed number of elements (such as 1 for an atomic integer)

hasContextDeterminedNumElements

public boolean hasContextDeterminedNumElements()

Overrides:

hasContextDeterminedNumElements in class BCF2FieldEncoder

Returns:

True if this field has a non-fixed number of elements that depends only on the properties of the current VariantContext, such as one value per Allele or per genotype configuration.

hasValueDeterminedNumElements

public boolean hasValueDeterminedNumElements()

Overrides:

hasValueDeterminedNumElements in class BCF2FieldEncoder

Returns:

True if the only way to determine how many elements this field contains is by inspecting the actual value directly, such as when the number of elements is a variable length list per site or per genotype.

numElementsFromValue

protected int numElementsFromValue(Object value)

Description copied from class: BCF2FieldEncoder

Given a value, return the number of elements we will encode for it. Assumes the value is encoded as a List

Overrides:

numElementsFromValue in class BCF2FieldEncoder

Returns:

the number of elements we will encode for .
