public interface SimulationReader<U extends java.io.Serializable,I extends java.io.Serializable,P>

Interface for reading a simulation from a file.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`close()`	Closes the writing objects.
`boolean`	`initialize(java.lang.String file)`	Initializes the simulation writing.
`Iteration<U,I,P>`	`readIteration(Data<U,I,P> data)`	Writes a single iteration in a file.
`Simulation<U,I,P>`	`readSimulation(Data<U,I,P> data)`	Reads a simulation from a file.

Method Details
- initialize
  
  boolean initialize(java.lang.String file)
  
  Initializes the simulation writing.
  
  Parameters:
  
  file - the name of the file where we want to store the simulation.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if everything went OK, false if something failed while configuring the writer.
- readSimulation
  
  Simulation<U,I,P> readSimulation(Data<U,I,P> data)
  
  Reads a simulation from a file.
  
  Parameters:
  
  data - the simulation data.
  
  Returns:
  
  the simulation if everything went OK, null if not.
- readIteration
  
  Iteration<U,I,P> readIteration(Data<U,I,P> data)
  
  Writes a single iteration in a file.
  
  Parameters:
  
  data - the simulation data.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if everything went OK, false if something failed while writing.
- close
  
  boolean close()
  
  Closes the writing objects.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if everything went OK, false if something failed while deconfiguring the writer.
