Function Documentation

virtual AnnotationFS uima::CAS::createAnnotation (  Type const &  type, size_t  uiBeginPos, size_t  uiEndPos )  [virtual, inherited]

convenience function for creating an annotation. type must be a subtype of type Annotation. Note that this will not commit the new feature structure to the appropriate indexes. To do this CAS::commitFS() has to be called. Exceptions: CASException  if specified type is not an annotation, or View is base CAS.

bool uima::CAS::moveToBeginPosition (  ANIterator &  itOfType, AnnotationFS const &  crFromAnn )  [inherited]

CAS Utility functions for Annotation Iterators sets the index iterator to the begin position of crFromAnn. Parameters: itOfType  The iterator to move crFromAnn  The annotation defining the begin position Returns: true if beginPositioncrFromAnn is also a valid begin position of the Annotation the iterator points to and the movement was successful, false otherwise. Note that both arguments, i.e. the index iterator and the FeatureStructure must be annotations.
