getUserSpecifiedPhysicalPixelSizes

Double[] getUserSpecifiedPhysicalPixelSizes()

Returns the user specified physical pixel sizes.

An array of double[] { physicalSizeX, physicalSizeY, physicalSizeZ } as specified by the user. A value of null for any one index states the user has not made a choice for the size of that particular dimension.

setUserSpecifiedPhysicalPixelSizes

Sets the user specified physical pixel sizes. A value of null states the original file physical size for that dimension should be used.

Parameters:

physicalSizeX - Physical pixel size width.

physicalSizeY - Physical pixel height.

physicalSizeZ - Physical pixel depth.

removeIObjectContainer

void removeIObjectContainer(LSID lsid)

Removes an IObject container from within the OME-XML data model store.

getIObjectContainers

List<omero.metadatastore.IObjectContainer> getIObjectContainers(Class<? extends omero.model.IObject> klass)

countCachedContainers

int countCachedContainers(Class<? extends omero.model.IObject> klass,
                          int... indexes)

Counts the number of containers the MetadataStore has of a given class and at a given index of the hierarchy if specified.

Parameters:

klass - Class to count containers of.

indexes - Indexes to use in the container count. For example, if klass is Image and indexes is int[] { 0 }; only containers that have an LSID of type Image and a first index of 0 will be counted.

countCachedReferences

int countCachedReferences(Class<? extends omero.model.IObject> source,
                          Class<? extends omero.model.IObject> target)

hasReference

Checks to see if there is currently an active reference for two LSIDs.

Parameters:

source - LSID of the source object.

target - LSID of the target object.

Returns:

true if a reference exists, false otherwise.
