SUMMARY: INNER | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
An alignment containing multiple SymbolLists.
The alignment can be thought of as a rectangular array of Symbols. Each row is indexed by a label and each column is indexed by offset (counting from 0).
Alternatively, it can be thought of as a SymbolList where each Symbol is a list of Symbols in that column.
To create gapped alignments, use SymbolLists with gaps. The most flexible way to do this will be to leverage GappedSymbolList objects.

Method Detail |
public java.util.List getLabels()
The index in the list is the same as the index in the alignment. Each SymbolList object will only be in the alignment once. However, a single underlying SymbolList may have more than one view within an alignment, each represented by a different GappedSymbolList.

If labels is null, then each label will be kept. Otherwise, only those in labels will be kept. If loc is null, then the entire length of the alignment will be kept. If loc is not null, then only the columns within the location will be kept.

- the Set of sequences to include by labelloc
