MultiLink

class glue.core.link_helpers.MultiLink(cids1=None, cids2=None, forwards=None, backwards=None, labels1=None, labels2=None, **kwargs)

Bases: glue.core.link_helpers.BaseMultiLink

A link collection that is generated on-the-fly based on forward and backward transformation functions and lists of input/output component IDs.

This is similar to BaseMultiLink() except that the forwards and backwards functions are specified in the initializer rather than being methods of the class.

Parameters

forwardsfunction

Function that maps cids1 to cids2. This should have the signature cids2 = forwards(*cids1), and is assumed to return a tuple. If not specified, no forward links are calculated.

backwardsfunction

The inverse function to forwards. If not specified, no forward links are calculated.

labels1list of str

The human-readable names of the inputs to the forwards function. If not specified, this is set to the argument names of forwards.

labels2list of str

The human-readable names of the inputs to the backwards function. If not specified, this is set to the argument names of backwards.
