doc_what_are_typecodes Class Reference

Detailed Description

LibSBML attaches an identifying code to every kind of SBML object. These are integer constants known as SBML type codes. The names of all the codes begin with the characters “SBML_”. The set of possible type codes for core elements is defined in the enumeration SBMLTypeCode_t, and in addition, libSBML plug-ins for SBML Level 3 packages define their own extra enumerations of type codes (e.g., SBMLLayoutTypeCode_t for the Level 3 Layout package). Note that different Level 3 package plug-ins may use overlapping type codes; to identify the package to which a given object belongs, call the getPackageName() method on the object.
