Interface FileTransformer

All Known Implementing Classes:

MatlabSparseFileTransformer

public interface FileTransformer

An interface for transforming matrix files of a particular format. Since each format has specific details regarding iteration, immplementations can efficiently do a transform simply by iterating through the file once and request the transformed value for each entry from an GlobalTransform instance.
