This module defines concrete subclasses for the abstract character matrix components that all character matrices must implement. The subclasses defined here apply to continuous-valued character data, such as length or width measurements. In a verbose notation, this data is represented as the "state" attribute of the <cell> element. In a compact notation, the same data is represented as a sequence of space-separated floating point numbers. A concrete implementation of the char element, which requires only an id attribute. Continuous_Character The ContinuousFormat class is the container of continuous column definitions. This is a single cell in a matrix containing a continuous observation. Continuous_State_Datum This is a simple type that specifies a list of xs:float characters. This is a row in a matrix of continuous data as character sequences. This is a row in a matrix of continuous data as granular obervations. A matrix of rows with seq strings of type continuous. A matrix of rows with single character observations. A continuous characters block consisting of float sequences preceded by metadata. A continuous characters block consisting of granular cells preceded by metadata.
