Detailed Description

Perceives bond orders of a molecular graph from its 3D structure and atom connectivity.

The calculator combines per-atom geometry analysis (linear, trigonal-planar, tetrahedral, ...), functional group substructure matching, conjugated π-system detection, and free valence accounting to assign single, double, or triple bonds.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

None CDPL.Chem.BondOrderCalculator.__init__	(	MolecularGraph	molgraph,
		Util.STArray	orders,
		bool	undef_only = True
	)

Constructs the BondOrderCalculator instance and perceives the order of the bonds in the molecular graph molgraph.

The perceived orders are stored in the same sequence as the bonds appear in the bond list of the molecular graph so that the order of a particular bond is accessible via its index.

Parameters

molgraph	The molecular graph for which to perceive the bond orders.
orders	An array containing the perceived bond orders.
undef_only	Specifies whether or not to perceive only undefined (= unset) bond orders.

Member Function Documentation

getObjectID()

int CDPL.Chem.BondOrderCalculator.getObjectID

(

)

Returns the numeric identifier (ID) of the wrapped C++ class instance.

Different Python BondOrderCalculator instances may reference the same underlying C++ class instance. The commonly used Python expression a is not b thus cannot tell reliably whether the two BondOrderCalculator instances a and b reference different C++ objects. The numeric identifier returned by this method allows to correctly implement such an identity test via the simple expression a.getObjectID() != b.getObjectID().

Returns

The numeric ID of the internally referenced C++ class instance.

undefinedOnly() [1/2]

None CDPL.Chem.BondOrderCalculator.undefinedOnly

(

bool

undef_only

)

Allows to specify whether already defined bond orders should be left unchanged.

Parameters

undef_only

If True only undefined (= unset) bond orders are perceived.

Note

The default setting is to perceive only the order of undefined bonds.

undefinedOnly() [2/2]

bool CDPL.Chem.BondOrderCalculator.undefinedOnly

(

)

Tells whether or not only undefined bond orders have to be perceived.

Returns

True if only undefined (= unset) bond orders are perceived, and False otherwise.

calculate()

None CDPL.Chem.BondOrderCalculator.calculate	(	MolecularGraph	molgraph,
		Util.STArray	orders
	)

Perceives the order of the bonds in the molecular graph molgraph from its 3D structure and atom connectivity.

The perceived orders are stored in the same sequence as the bonds appear in the bond list of the molecular graph so that the order of a particular bond is accessible via its index.

Parameters

molgraph	The molecular graph for which to perceive the bond orders.
orders	An array containing the perceived bond orders.
