NAME

Games::SGF::Util - Utility pack for Games::SGF objects

VERSION

Version 0.993

SYNOPSIS

Quick summary of what the module does.

Perhaps a little code snippet.

use Games::SGF::Util;

my $util = new Games::SGF::Util($sgf);

$util->filter( "C", undef ); # removes all comments from SGF

DISCRIPTION

This is a collection of useful methods for manipulating a Games::SGF object.

All Util methods in this module will not call any game movement methods. This means in order to work with files with multiple games you must move to the game of choice then pass it into a util object.

METHODS

new

$util = new Games::SGF::Util($sgf);

This initializes a new Games::SGF::Util object. Will return undef if $sgf is no supplied.

touch

$util->touch(\&sub);

This will call &sub for every node in $sgf. &sub will be passed the $sgf object. any subroutines which manipulate the $sgf tree will lead to undefined behavior. The safe methods to use are:

"property" in Games::SGF
"getProperty" in Games::SGF
"setProperty" in Games::SGF
"isCompose" in Games::SGF
"isStone" in Games::SGF
"isMove" in Games::SGF
"isPoint" in Games::SGF
"compose" in Games::SGF
"stone" in Games::SGF
"move" in Games::SGF
"point" in Games::SGF
"err" in Games::SGF

filter

$util->fiter( $tag, \&sub);

Will call &sub for every $tag which is in $sgf. &sub will be passed the tag value. The value then be reset to the return of &sub. If the return is "" the tag will be unset.

If the tag has a value list each value will be sent to $callback.

If the $callback returns undef it will not be set.

Example:

# removes all comments that don't match m/Keep/
$util->filter( "C", sub { return $_[0] =~ m/Keep/ ? $_[0] : ""; );

gameInfo

my(@games) = $util->gameInfo;
foreach my $game (@games) {
    print "New Game\n";
    foreach my $tag (keys %$game) {
       print "\t$tag -> $game->{$tag}\n";
    }
}

Will return the game-info tags for all games represented in the current game tree. The return order is the closest to the root, and then the closest to the main line branch.

UNWRITTEN

sgf

$sgf = $util->sgf;
$sgf = $util->sgf($sgf)

This returns a clone of the $sgf object associated with $util, or sets the $sgf object to a clone of object supplied.
