Detailed Description

Iterate over all residues in an OBMol.

To facilitate iteration through all residues in a molecule, without resorting to residue 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_RESIDUES_OF_MOL(r,m) for( OBResidueIter r(m); r; ++r )

Here is an example:

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

OpenBabel::OBMol mol;
FOR_RESIDUES_OF_MOL(r, mol)
{
 // The variable r behaves like OBResidue* when used with -> and * but
 // but needs to be explicitly converted when appearing as a parameter
 // in a function call - use &*r

 if (r->GetName() == resname && r->GetNum() == rnum)
 {
 // got a match, let's go to work
 ...
 }
}

Member Function Documentation

operator=()

(

const OBResidueIter &

ri

)

operator bool()

operator bool ( ) const

inline

Returns

Whether the iterator can still advance (i.e., visit more residues)

operator++() [1/2]

OBResidueIter & operator++

(

)

Preincrement – advance to the next residue and return.

OBResidueIter operator++

(

int

)

Postincrement – return the current state and advance to the next residue.

Returns

a pointer to the current residue

inline

Returns

a reference to the current residue
