DENOFO Comparator

The DENOFO Comparator is a tool for comparing denofo annotation files. It provides functionality for comparing two *.dngf annotation files and generating a comparison report with either similarities or differences.

The comparator can be used via the command-line interface (CLI) or the graphical user interface (GUI).

Command-line interface (CLI)

denofo.comparator.comparator_cli.main()

The main function of the program including argument parsing.

Graphical user interface (GUI)

class denofo.comparator.comparator_gui.DNGFCompareGUI

The main window of the DeNoFo Comparator GUI.

closeEvent(self, a0: QCloseEvent | None)

denofo.comparator.comparator_gui.main()

Main function to run the GUI. Entry point for the application.

Comparator logic implementation

denofo.comparator.compare.write_comparison(comparison: list[tuple], mode: str = 'differences', output_path: Path | None = None, name1: str = 'dngf_1', name2: str = 'dngf_2') → str | None

Write the comparison result to the output file.

Parameters:

• comparison (list[tuple]) – The comparison input as preprocessed by denofo.utils.helpers.compare_two_models() .

• mode (str) – The mode of comparison, either “similarities” or “differences”. Defaults to “differences”.

• output_path (Path | None) – The path to the output file. If None, the result is returned as a string.

• name1 (str) – The display name of the first comparison element. Defaults to “dngf_1”.

• name2 (str) – The display name of the second comparison element. Defaults to “dngf_2”.

Returns:

The comparison result as a string if output_path is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None
