63 * Abstract base class for all objects that provide data.
65 * The public interface includes methods for querying the data (isMultipoint(),
66 * dataSetCount(), columnCount(), frameCount(), tryGetDataFrame(),
67 * getDataFrame(), requestStorage()) and methods for using modules for
68 * processing the data (addModule(), addColumnModule(), applyModule()).
70 * Notice that even for non-const objects, the interface does not provide any
71 * means of altering the data. It is only possible to add modules, making it
72 * relatively safe to return a non-const pointer of this type pointing to an
73 * internal data structure without worrying about possible modifications of the
77 * This class also provides protected methods for use in derived classes.
78 * The properties returned by isMultipoint(), dataSetCount(), and columnCount()
79 * must be set using setMultipoint(), setDataSetCount(), and setColumnCount().
80 * notify*() methods in the AnalysisDataModuleManager returned by
81 * moduleManager() must be used to report when data becomes available for
82 * modules to process it.
83 * There are also three pure virtual methods that need to be implemented to
84 * provide access to stored data: one public (frameCount()) and two protected
85 * ones (requestStorageInternal() and tryGetDataFrameInternal()).
87 * It is up to subclasses to ensure that the virtual methods and the
88 * notifications in AnalysisDataModuleManager are called in a
89 * correct sequence (the methods will assert in most incorrect use cases), and
90 * that the data provided through the public interface matches that passed to
91 * the modules with the notify methods.
92 * Helper class AnalysisDataStorage provides a default implementation for
93 * storing data (calls to the pure virtual methods can simply be forwarded to
94 * appropriate methods in the helper class), and takes care of correctly
95 * calling the notification methods when new data is added to the storage.
96 * In most cases, it should be used to implement the derived classes.
99 * Currently, it is not possible to continue using the data object if an
100 * attached module throws an exception during data processing; it is only safe
101 * to destroy such data object.
104 * Improve the exception-handling semantics. In most cases, it doesn't make
105 * much sense to continue data processing after one module fails, but having
106 * the alternative would not hurt.

117 * Whether the data can have multiple points in the same column
120 * \returns \c true if multiple points in the same column are
121 * allowed within a single frame.
123 * This kind of data can appear in many histogramming applications
124 * (e.g., RDFs), where each trajectory frame has several data points
125 * (possibly a different number for each frame). The current interface
126 * doesn't support storing such data, but this should rarely be

146 * The returned value does not change after modules have been notified
147 * of data start, but may change multiple times before that, depending
148 * on the actual data class.

194 * produced. If requestStorage() has been successfully called,
