Method Summary

LocationList	getAllSourceLocs() It returns a list of all the locations which make up the surface for this source.
int	getNumRuptures() Get the number of ruptures for this source
ProbEqkRupture	getRupture(int nRupture) Get the ith rupture for this source This is a handle(or reference) to existing class variable.
ProbEqkRupture	getRuptureClone(int nRupture) this function can be used if a clone is wanted instead of handle to class variable Subsequent calls to this function will not affect the result got previously.
List<ProbEqkRupture>	getRuptureList() Returns the ArrayList consisting of all ruptures for this source all the objects are cloned.
Iterator<ProbEqkRupture>	getRupturesIterator() Get the iterator over all ruptures
RuptureSurface	getSourceSurface() This gives the entire surface of the source
TectonicRegionType	getTectonicRegionType() This identifies the type of tectonic region the source is associate with.

Method Detail

getRupturesIterator

Iterator<ProbEqkRupture> getRupturesIterator()

Get the iterator over all ruptures

Returns:

Iterator on vector for all ruptures

getNumRuptures

int getNumRuptures()

Get the number of ruptures for this source

Returns:

returns an integer value specifying the number of ruptures for this source

getRupture

ProbEqkRupture getRupture(int nRupture)

Get the ith rupture for this source This is a handle(or reference) to existing class variable. If this function is called again, then output from previous function call will not remain valid because of passing by reference. It is a secret, fast but dangerous method

Parameters:

i - ith rupture

getRuptureClone

ProbEqkRupture getRuptureClone(int nRupture)

this function can be used if a clone is wanted instead of handle to class variable Subsequent calls to this function will not affect the result got previously. This is in contrast with the getRupture(int i) function

Parameters:

i -

Returns:

getRuptureList

List<ProbEqkRupture> getRuptureList()

Returns the ArrayList consisting of all ruptures for this source all the objects are cloned. so this vector can be saved by the user

Returns:

ArrayList consisting of

getAllSourceLocs

LocationList getAllSourceLocs()

It returns a list of all the locations which make up the surface for this source.

Returns:

LocationList - List of all the locations which constitute the surface of this source

getSourceSurface

RuptureSurface getSourceSurface()

This gives the entire surface of the source

Returns:

getTectonicRegionType

TectonicRegionType getTectonicRegionType()

This identifies the type of tectonic region the source is associate with. This should return one of the TYPE_* variables defined in the class org.opensha.sha.imr.param.OtherParams.TectonicRegionTypeParam;
