## org.das2.qds.DataSetIterator

Iterator for accessing each value of a dataset. See http://jfaden.net:8080/hudson/job/autoplot-test037/ws/dataSetIterator.jy

## createEmptyDs

createEmptyDs( ) → org.das2.qds.DDataSet

return a dataset that will have the same geometry at the dataset implied by each dimension iterator. This is introduced to encapsulate this dangerous code to here where it could be done correctly. Right now this assumes QUBES. Do not pass the result of this into the putValue of this iterator, the result should have its own iterator.

### Returns:

a dataset that will have the same geometry at the dataset implied by each dimension iterator.

## getValue

getValue( QDataSet ds ) → double

get the value from ds at the current iterator position.

### Parameters

ds - a dataset with compatible geometry as the iterator's geometry.

### Returns:

the value of ds at the current iterator position.

## hasNext

hasNext( ) → boolean

return true while the iterator has a next element.

### Returns:

true while the iterator has a next element.

## index

index( int dim ) → int

return the current index for the dimension.

### Parameters

dim - the dimension number (0<=dim<inputRank)

### Returns:

the current index.

## length

length( int dim ) → int

return the length of the dimension, or the length reported by the iterator. Use caution, because this does not imply that the result of the iteration is a qube and does not account for slices. (TODO: does this mean that as we iterate through, the length depends on the current index?)

### Parameters

dim - the dimension number (0<=dim<inputRank)

### Returns:

the length of the dimension

## next

next( ) → void

iterate to the next position.

### Returns:

void (returns nothing)

## putValue

putValue( org.das2.qds.WritableDataSet ds, double v ) → void

replace the value in ds at the current iterator position.

### Parameters

ds - a writable dataset with compatible geometry as the iterator's geometry.
v - the value to insert.

### Returns:

void (returns nothing)

## rank

rank( ) → int

return the rank of the dataset which the iterator will walk through. Note this needn't be the same rank as the dataset! For example, when QubeDataSetIterator walks through ds[:,0,:], the rank is 2 even though ds is rank 3.

### Returns:

the rank of the dataset which the iterator will walk through.
