Class PrettyPrinter

java.lang.Object
  jess.PrettyPrinter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Visitor

public class PrettyPrinter

extends java.lang.Object

implements Visitor

A PrettyPrinter knows how to format various Jess constructs for display. Used in the implementation of the "ppdefrule" command and such.

This class can produce a formatted rendering of many Jess objects, including Defrules, Deffunctions Defquerys, etc -- anything that implements the Visitable interface.

PrettyPrinter is very simple to use: you just create an instance, passing the object to be rendered as a constructor argument, and then call toString() to get the formatted result.

 Rete r = new Rete();
 r.eval("(defrule myrule (A) => (printout t \"A\" crlf))");
 Defrule dr = (Defrule) r.findDefrule("myrule");
 System.out.println(new PrettyPrinter(dr));
 

The above code produces the following output:

 (defrule MAIN::myrule
 (MAIN::A)
 =>
 (printout t "A" crlf))
