Detailed Description

Iterate over all neighboring atoms to an OBAtom.

To facilitate iteration through all neighbors of an atom, without resorting to bond indexes (which may change in the future), a variety of iterator classes and methods are provided.

This has been made significantly easier by a series of macros in the obiter.h header file:

      \#define FOR_NBORS_OF_ATOM(a,p)     for( OBAtomAtomIter     a(p); a; ++a )

Here is an example:

      #include <openbabel/obiter.h>
      #include <openbabel/mol.h>

      OBMol mol;
      FOR_ATOMS_OF_MOL(a, mol)
      {
         // The variable a behaves like OBAtom* when used with -> and * but
         // but needs to be explicitly converted when appearing as a parameter
         // in a function call - use &*a
         FOR_NBORS_OF_ATOM(b, &*a)
         {
            ...
         }
      }

Member Function Documentation

OBAtomAtomIter & operator= ( const OBAtomAtomIter ai )
operator bool (  ) const [inline]
Returns:
Whether the iterator can still advance (i.e., visit more neighbors)
OBAtomAtomIter & operator++ (  )

Preincrement -- advance to the next neighbor and return.

Referenced by OBAtomAtomIter::operator++().

OBAtomAtomIter operator++ ( int   )

Postincrement -- return the current neighbor and advance to the next.

OBAtom* operator-> (  ) const [inline]
Returns:
a pointer to the current atom
OBAtom& operator* (  ) const [inline]
Returns:
a reference to the current atom
