Class ASCIIFormatter

java.lang.Object
  uchicago.src.sim.network.ASCIIFormatter

All Implemented Interfaces:

NetworkMatrixFormatter

public class ASCIIFormatter
extends java.lang.Object
implements NetworkMatrixFormatter

Formats AdjacencyMatrices into a comma delimited plain text format. This can be used by a NetworkRecorder to record network in a plain text format. In this format network data looks like:

 matrix label: _label_
             ,node_label_0, node_label_1, ...
 node_label_0, data_00, data_01, ...
 node_label_1, data_10, data_11, ...
 ...
 

If a network has no label names, comma-delimited empty strings will be used. For example, matrix label: mLabel ,,,,, ,0,1,0,0,0 ,0,0,1,0,0 ,0,0,0,1,0 ,0,0,0,0,1 ,0,0,0,0,0 This format intended as a substitute for the excel format given the exceedingly long time it takes to write to an excel file. Data in this format is easily imported into excel such that the actual matrix will begin in cell B:2.
