Constructor Detail

ForwardMap

public ForwardMap(Map map)

Constructs a map copy. The neurons in the map and all the links are cloned. The links are set up according to the original map. However, sink or source of the links are only set, if the original neuron was also sink or source. If the link was connected to a non-map neuron, it is not connected in the cloned map.

Parameters:

map - the map to be copied

ForwardMap

public ForwardMap(int width)

Generates a quadratic forward map of given width with default neurons and links.

Parameters:

width - the square width

ForwardMap

public ForwardMap(int width,
                  int height,
                  Neuron neuron,
                  Link link)

Constructs a forward map with given neurons and links.

Parameters:

width - the width

height - the height

neuron - the neuron type (if null, default neuron)

link - the link type (if null, default link)

Method Detail

clone

public ForwardMap clone()

Returns a shallow clone of this map. However, if needed a new neuron list is created for the cloned map.

Overrides:

clone in class Map

Returns:

the shallow clone

connect

protected boolean connect(Map other)

Connects each neuron (sink) of this map with each neuron of the given map (source) using the link type of this map.

Specified by:

connect in class Map

Parameters:

other - another map

Returns:

true, if some connection has been made

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the type(width x height) of this map.

Overrides:

toString in class Map

Returns:

the string expression
