- - ### Method Detail

    - #### toSource

          java.lang.String toSource(java.lang.String className,
                                  Instances data)
                                    throws java.lang.Exception

      Returns a string that describes the filter as source. The filter will be contained in a class with the given name (there may be auxiliary classes), and will contain two methods with these signatures:

           // converts one row
           public static Object[] filter(Object[] i);
           // converts a full dataset (first dimension is row index)
           public static Object[][] filter(Object[][] i);

      where the array `i` contains elements that are either Double, String, with missing values represented as null. The generated code is public domain and comes with no warranty.
      Parameters:
        `className` - the name that should be given to the source class.
        `data` - the dataset used for initializing the filter
      Returns:
        the object source described by a string
      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception` - if the source can't be computed
