Detailed Description

Iterate over all rings in an OBMol.

Since:
version 2.1
To facilitate iteration through all rings in a molecule, without resorting to ring indexes (which may change in the future) a variety of iterator classes and methods are provided. One word of warning is that these iterator methods automatically call OBMol::FindSSSR() which may involve a significant performance hit on large molecules.

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

      \#define FOR_RINGS_OF_MOL(r,m)     for( OBMolRingIter     r(m); r; ++r )

Here is an example:

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

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

      }

Member Function Documentation

OBMolRingIter & operator= ( const OBMolRingIter ri  ) 

operator bool (  )  const [inline]

Returns:
Whether the iterator can advance (i.e., there are more rings)

OBMolRingIter & operator++ (  ) 

Preincrement -- advance to the next ring (if any) and return.

Referenced by OBMolRingIter::operator++().

OBMolRingIter operator++ ( int   ) 

Postincrement -- return the current state and advance to the next ring.

OBRing* operator-> (  )  const [inline]

Returns:
A pointer to the current ring (if any)

OBRing& operator* (  )  const [inline]

Returns:
A reference to the current ring (if any)
