Expand description

Trait used to display bins

  • This is, e.g., used by the glue writers to write the bins of the merged results

Required Methods§

source

fn display_bin_iter(&self) -> Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Self::BinEntry> + '_>

Iterator over all the bins
  • you might require to use this if you are working with generics
  • if you are working with a specific type there is usually a more efficient implementation that did not require the usage of dynamic traits (dyn) and that are thus more efficient, consider using those instead
source

fn write_bin<W: Write>(entry: &Self::BinEntry, writer: W) -> Result<()>

For writing a bin
  • How to write a bin to a file? If a bin consists, e.g., of an exclusive and inclusive border this might require the writing of two values. It could also be a single value instead. It should be something the user expects from your binning, see write header
source

fn write_header<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<()>

Writing the header of the bin
  • This is intended to name, e.g., a column in a file. Output could be “SingleBin” or “BinBorderExclusive BinBorderInclusive” and so on
