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

Interface for writing a simulation into 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.
`boolean`	`writeIteration(Simulation<U,I,P> simulation, int numIter)`	Writes a single iteration in a file.
`boolean`	`writeSimulation(Simulation<U,I,P> simulation)`	Writes a whole simulation in 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.
- writeSimulation
  
  boolean writeSimulation(Simulation<U,I,P> simulation)
  
  Writes a whole simulation in a file.
  
  Parameters:
  
  simulation - the simulation.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if everything went OK, false if something failed while writing.
- writeIteration
  
  boolean writeIteration(Simulation<U,I,P> simulation, int numIter)
  
  Writes a single iteration in a file.
  
  Parameters:
  
  simulation - the simulation.
  
  numIter - the iteration number.
  
  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.
