MultiLink

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

Bases: 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.

**kwargs

Additional arguments are passed
