Method Detail

### getBaseAttributes

    public java.util.Collection getBaseAttributes()
                                           throws M4Exception

  Getter method.

  Returns:
    all BaseAttributes that are bundled in this MCF.
  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### setBaseAttributes

    public void setBaseAttributes(java.util.Collection theAttribs)
                           throws M4Exception

  Setter method.

  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### hasBaseAttribute

    public boolean hasBaseAttribute(BaseAttribute ba)
                             throws M4Exception

  Parameters:
    `ba` - a `BaseAttribute`
  Returns:
    `true` if a `BaseAttribute` with the same ID is already linked to this `MultiColumnFeature`
  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### addBaseAttribute

    public void addBaseAttribute(BaseAttribute ba)
                          throws M4Exception

  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### getBaseAttributeByName

    public BaseAttribute getBaseAttributeByName(java.lang.String name)
                                         throws M4Exception

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name
  Returns:
    the `BaseAttribute` with the given name if there is one (ignoring case); `null` otherwise
  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### removeBaseAttribute

    public boolean removeBaseAttribute(BaseAttribute ba)
                                throws M4Exception

  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### copy

    public MultiColumnFeature copy()
                            throws M4Exception

  Copy this MultiColumnFeature.

  Returns:
    A clone of this MCF with ID 0, because it does not exist in the DB yet.
  Throws:
    `M4Exception`

### isDeselected

    public boolean isDeselected()
                         throws M4CompilerError

  Specified by:
    `isDeselected` in interface `Feature`
  Returns:
    `true` iff this `MultiColumnFeature` has been "deselected" by a `FeatureSelection` operator or has not been connected by the user. A `MultiColumnFeature` is considered deselected, if one of its `BaseAttributes` has been deselected.
  Throws:
    `M4CompilerError`
