Method Summary |
boolean |
isDisjoint(FeatureFilter filt)
Returns true if this filter is disjoint from filt - that is, there is no
Feature that is accepted by both filters. |
boolean |
isProperSubset(FeatureFilter sup)
Returns true if this filter is a proper subset of sup - that is, for every
feature that matches this, it also matches sup. |
isProperSubset
public boolean isProperSubset(FeatureFilter sup)
- Returns true if this filter is a proper subset of sup - that is, for every
feature that matches this, it also matches sup. The empty filter is a
proper subset of all filters. All filters are a proper subset of the all
filter. All filters are proper subsets of themselves.
- Parameters:
sup
- the potential super set
- Returns:
- true if sup contains all features contained by this filter
isDisjoint
public boolean isDisjoint(FeatureFilter filt)
- Returns true if this filter is disjoint from filt - that is, there is no
Feature that is accepted by both filters. The empty filter is disjoint from
all other filters. The all filter is disjoint from none.
