TRSGPNode<T> Class

Create(TRSGPInstruction<T>,TRSGPNode<T>)

Creates the node and assigns values to its   Instruction and   Parent properties

Destroy

Destroys the node and frees all of its children

ChildCount

Returns the number of children that the node contains

Child[Integer]

Returns the child node at the specified index

Instruction

Specifies the Instruction (function, variable or constant) that this node represents in the genetic program

Parent

Specifies the Parent node of the current node (or nil if there is no parent)

Value

Specifies the constant value of the node. If the node is not a constant, this value will be ignored

AddChild(TRSGPNode<T>)

Add the specified node as a child of the current node

Assign(TPersistent)

Makes a deep copy (i.e., all children, grandchildren, etc) of the Source to the node

CalcDepth

Calculate the depth of the tree with this node as the parent

CalcSize

Calculate the size of the tree with this node as the parent

Clear

Empties the node of all information (i.e.,   Instruction equals nil,   Value equals default, and children are deleted and freed)

Clone(TRSGPNode<T>)

Creates a copy of the current node and all of its children. This is a deep copy of the entire subtree.

CreateNode(TRSGPInstruction<T>,TRSGPNode<T>)

Represents method CreateNode(TRSGPInstruction<T>,TRSGPNode<T>).

Depth

Returns the depth (maximum number of levels of children) of the subtree with this node as its root. If the node has no children, the depth is 1. If the node has children, its depth is 2. If at least one of its children has children, the depth is 3, etc.

Execute(TRSGPContext<T>)

Executes the current node using the specified Context.

Note that it is up to the Instruction to do the actual execution in its     OnExecute event. The instruction is also where the decision to execute children event or not is made.

ExtractChild(TRSGPNode<T>)

Extracts the specified node from the current node's list of child nodes

GetChild(Integer)

Represents method GetChild(Integer).

GetChildCount

Represents method GetChildCount.

IndexOf(TRSGPNode<T>)

Searchs for the Node as a child of the current node. If the node is found, this method returns the index to access the child. Otherwise, it returns -1.

InsertChild(Integer,TRSGPNode<T>)

Inserts the Node as a child of the current node at the specified Index

IsTerminal

Returns true if the node is a terminal (constant, variable, or function with arity of 0)

LoadFromXML(IXMLDnaType)

Loads the node and its children from the XML

LoadValueFromXML(IXMLDnaType)

Loads the   Value from the XML

Modified

Represents method Modified.

SaveToXML(IXMLDnaType)

Saves the node and its children to the XML

SaveValueToXML(IXMLDnaType)

Saves the   Value to the XML

SetValue(T)

Represents method SetValue(T).

Size

Returns the size (how many children, grandchildren, etc) of the subtree with this node as its root. If the node has no children, the depth is 1.

ToString

Returns a prefix notation version of the node and its children

ValueToString

Returns a string representation of the   Value.

FDepth

Represents field FDepth.

FSize

Represents field FSize.
