[PPL-devel] Accessing constraint systems from Java

[Gianluca Amato]

Hi there!
I am trying to write a method in Java, which takes a PPL object (let's 
say a Polyhedron, or an Octagonal_Shape), a sequence of strings as 
variables names, and generates a string representation of the object 
similar to the one we obtain with the toString() method, but with the 
given variable names instead of A, B, etc...

My idea was to get a Constraint_System from the object, iterate over 
Constraints, and access the coefficients of each constraint. However, 
the Java API is much simpler then the C++ API, and there is no way, for 
example, to iterate over constraints.

For the moment, I am generating a string representation with toString, 
and apply there the necessary transformations.

Do you have any idea how can I circumvent in other ways the limitations 
of the API? Any plan for a better Java API?

Thanks in advance,
