Detailed Description

Stores a Newick tree in an intermediate format that can be further processed into a Tree.

The NewickBroker is a transitional format between the Newick formatted tree and a Tree object. It is neccessary to have this intermediate step, because the ordering of nodes in the Newick format differs from our requirements. Newick trees starts with leaf nodes, while our internal representation is build up from the root.

The NewickBroker is organized as a stack, where the root of the tree is at the top/front. Then follow the nodes in a preorder manner, where each node is of type NewickBrokerElement.

The topology of the tree is represented via a depth attribute of each node: Two subsequent nodes are siblings (belong to the same parent node), if they have the same depth. If the second node has a depth that is one higher than the first ones, it is it's child (depth thus cannot increase more than one between two nodes). Lastly, if the depth of the second node is smaller than the first ones, it belongs to a different subtree.

For example, the following tree in Newick format:

((A,((B,C,D)E,F)G)H,((I,J,K)L,M,N)O,P,Q)R;

would be stored as the following stack:

R Rank(4)
    Q (Leaf)
    P (Leaf)
    O Rank(3)
        N (Leaf)
        M (Leaf)
        L Rank(3)
            K (Leaf)
            J (Leaf)
            I (Leaf)
    H Rank(2)
        G Rank(2)
            F (Leaf)
            E Rank(3)
                D (Leaf)
                C (Leaf)
                B (Leaf)
        A (Leaf)

Here, the rank represents the number of immediate children of this node. Leaf nodes have no children and thus rank zero.

Every function modifiying the content of the broker is required to leave it in a valid state, meaning:

  • The top node has to be the root of the tree, which is equivalent to having depth zero. This is also true for trees rooted on a leaf.
  • The nesting of the nodes has to be correct, so the depth cannot increase more than one per node when going down the tree.
  • The attribute NewickBrokerElement::is_leaf of the NewickBrokerElements can be set (for exmaple when parsing a Newick tree) and then be used to validate the integrity of the tree using validate(). However, the attribute is not further used – see its description for more on this. %

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign_ranks()

void assign_ranks ( ) const

Iterate over the tree and assign ranks (= number of immediate children) to all nodes.

This function is for example needed to check whether it is a bifurcating/binary tree, or to check how many leaves and inner nodes the tree has. Thus, it is usually called after the broker is filled with data.

Definition at line 85 of file broker.cpp.

◆ at() [1/2]

NewickBrokerElement & at ( std::size_t  index)

Provides index based array access to the nodes, doing a boundary check first.

In out of bounds cases, an exception is thrown.

Definition at line 197 of file broker.cpp.

◆ at() [2/2]

NewickBrokerElement const & at ( std::size_t  index) const

Definition at line 205 of file broker.cpp.

Calling this function on an empty() broker causes undefined behavior.

void clear ( )

Deletes all nodes from the broker.

Definition at line 46 of file broker.cpp.

Returns the number of leaf nodes in the tree. assign_ranks() has to be called first.

Definition at line 122 of file broker.cpp.

◆ max_rank()

long max_rank ( ) const

Returns the highest rank of the nodes in the tree. assign_ranks() has to be called first.

Definition at line 149 of file broker.cpp.

◆ node_count()

size_t node_count ( ) const

Alias for size().

Definition at line 144 of file broker.cpp.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

NewickBroker& operator= ( NewickBroker &&  )
default

◆ operator=() [2/2]

NewickBroker& operator= ( NewickBroker const &  )
default

◆ operator[]() [1/2]

NewickBrokerElement & operator[] ( std::size_t  index)

Provides index based array access to the nodes.

This also allows to iterate over them using:

NewickBroker tb;
for (size_t i = 0; i < tb.size(); ++i) {
   NewickBrokerElement* tn = tb[i];
   std::cout << tn.name << std::endl;
}

Caveat: this operator does no boundary check. If you need this check, use at() instead.

Returns a reverse iterator to the nodes on the stack for const objects.

◆ rend() [1/2]

Reverse version of end().

Definition at line 277 of file broker.cpp.

◆ rend() [2/2]

const_reverse_iterator rend ( ) const

Reverse version of end() for const objects.

◆ size()

size_t size ( ) const

Returns the size of the stack, i.e. the number of nodes stored in the broker.

Definition at line 178 of file broker.cpp.

◆ top() [1/2]

NewickBrokerElement const & top ( )

Returns a reference to the top node of the tree stack.

Usually, the top element is the root of the tree (i.e., it has depth zero). Only when called during the broker is being filled with nodes (for example, while parsing a Newick tree), the top element is not the root.

Calling this function on an empty() broker causes undefined behavior.

Definition at line 213 of file broker.cpp.

◆ top() [2/2]

NewickBrokerElement const& top ( ) const

◆ validate()

bool validate ( ) const

Returns true iff the tree is valid. assign_ranks() has to be called first.

A valid tree in a NewickBroker has to fullfill those criteria:

  • The depth (nesting level) of the nodes cannot increase more than one level between nodes, as this would imply a non-existing node with a depth in between. However, it can arbitrarily decrease, as this simply means the end of a subtree.
  • Furthermore, rank 1 is not valid, as this represents a node that is not furcating in any way. %
