public class RadixKEncoder
extends Encoder

Implements an Encoder object that outputs the data in a radix-k graph. The value for k is specified as a parameter to the factory method or can be taken as the default value. For more information on radix-k graphs, see:


Currently, this class allows the use of k between 2 and 36. If this value is not specified in the job file, it defaults to 10. In the graph, the least significant digit is represented first.

Constructor Detail

RadixKEncoder

protected RadixKEncoder(java.lang.String[] argv)
Builds a new RadixK encoder. The argv array may optionally contain a single element of the form: radix=n where n is a positive integer. If more than one argument is specified, this constructor only considers the first.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the first argument in the argv array is invalid.

Method Detail

buildEncoder

public static Encoder buildEncoder(java.lang.String[] argv)
This factory method builds RadixK objects. The argv array may optionally contain a single element of the form: radix=n where n is a positive integer. If more than one argument is specified, this constructor only considers the first.
Parameters:
argv - arguments to the encoder specified in the job file.
Returns:
a newly instantiated RadixK object.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the first argument in the argv array is invalid.

encodeWMData

public WatermarkGraph encodeWMData(java.lang.String data)
Computes a radix-k graph which encodes the specified data. The radix is specified by the arguments to the factory method for this class. If none are specified, the default is used.
Overrides:
encodeWMData in class Encoder
Parameters:
data - the message text to be encoded.
Returns:
the adjacency matrix for the watermark graph.
