                Formula


The representation of a single relationship formula. The formulas are built as trees, where each node in the tree is a FormulaNode, which can be either a relationship (RelNode), or an entity EntityNode. The Formula instance holds the root node of the formula tree.
Method Summary
  __init__(self, oStack, attrs, **args)
  addArgument(self, root)
Define the root node of the formula.
  writeXMLNestedItems(self, out, indent)
    Inherited from BIXMLWriteable
  writeXML(self, out, indent, **kwArgs)
Outputs the complete XML representation of the given object.
  writeXMLClose(self, out, indent)
Prints the closing tag of the object: </tag>.
  writeXMLOpen(self, out, indent, closing)
Writes opening tag into the XML output.
  XMLAttrs(self)
Computes the string representation of the object's attributes, which are included into the XML tag.
