Method Details

getNcomponents

int getNcomponents()

The number of components in the vector.

Returns:

value of the ncomponents attribute.

getComponent

MathMLContentElement getComponent(int index)

A convenience method to retrieve a component.

Parameters:

index - Position of the component in the list of components. The first element is numbered 1.

Returns:

The MathMLContentElement component at the position specified by index. If index is not a valid index (i.e. is greater than the number of components of the vector or less than 1), a null MathMLContentElement is returned.

insertComponent

MathMLContentElement insertComponent(MathMLContentElement newComponent,
 int index)
                              throws DOMException

A convenience method to insert a new component in the vector before the current index-th component. If index is 0 or is one more than the number of components currently in the vector, newComponent is appended as the last component of the vector.

Parameters:

newComponent - A MathMLContentElement representing the component that is to be added.

index - Position of the component in the list of components. The first component is numbered 1.

Returns:

The MathMLContentElement child of this MathMLVectorElement representing the new component in the DOM.

Throws:

DOMException - INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if index is greater than one more than the current number of components of this vector element.

setComponent

MathMLContentElement setComponent(MathMLContentElement newComponent,
 int index)
                           throws DOMException

A convenience method to set the index-th component of the vector to newComponent. If index is one more than the current number of components, newComponent is appended as the last component.

Parameters:

newComponent - A MathMLContentElement representing the element that is to be the index-th component of the vector.

index - Position of the component in the list of components. The first element is numbered 1.

Returns:

The MathMLContentElement child of this MathMLVectorElement that represents the new component in the DOM.

Throws:

DOMException - INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if index is greater than one more than the current number of components of this vector element.

deleteComponent

void deleteComponent(int index)
              throws DOMException

A convenience method to delete an element. The deletion changes the indices of the following components.

Parameters:

index - Position of the component in the vector. The position of the first component is 1

Throws:

DOMException - INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if index is greater than the current number of components of this vector element.

removeComponent

MathMLContentElement removeComponent(int index)

A convenience method to remove a component from a vector and return it to the caller. If index is greater than the number of components or is 0, a null MathMLContentElement is returned.

Parameters:

index - Position of the component in the list of components. The first element is numbered 1.

Returns:

The MathMLContentElement component being removed.
