SequenceInterval

sequences.sequences.SequenceInterval(self, interval=(None, None, None), *, Interval=None)

A class to describe an interval with precedence relationships and hierarchical relationships

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
`interval`	list \| tuple \| `Interval` \| `Self`	A Praat textgrid Interval. This could one of: i) A list or tuple of start, end and label values (e.g. `[0, 1, "foo"]`); ii) A `praatio.utilities.constants.Interval` iii) Another `SequenceInterval`. In this last case, only the `start`, `end` and `label` values from the original `SequenceInterval` are preserved in the new one.	`(None, None, None)`

A new SequenceInterval can be created from scratch by passing it a tuple of a start time, end time, and a label

from aligned_textgrid import SequenceInterval

sample_interval = SequenceInterval((0, 1, "sample"))
print(sample_interval)

Class SequenceInterval, label: sample, .superset_class: Top, .super_instance, None, .subset_class: Bottom

You can pass a SequenceInterval to another SequenceInterval or subclass (like Word) as well

from aligned_textgrid import Word

sample_word = Word(sample_interval)
print(sample_word)

Class Word, label: sample, .superset_class: Top_wp, .super_instance, None, .subset_class: Phone

Name	Type	Description
start	float	Start time of the interval
end	float	End time of the interval
label	Any	Label of the interval
duration	float	The duration of the interval
intier	`SequenceTier`	The sequence tier the current interval is within.
tier_index	int	The index of sequence within its tier.
fol	SequenceInterval	Instance of the following interval. Is the same subclass as the current instance.
prev	SequenceInterval	Instance of the previous interval. Is the same subclass as current instance.
super_instance	SequenceInterval	The instance of the superset. Cannot be the same subclass as the current instance.
subset_list	list[SequenceInterval]	A list of subset instances. Cannot be the same subclass of the current instance.
sub_starts	numpy.ndarray	A numpy array of start times for the subset list
sub_ends	numpy.ndarray	A numpy array of end times for the subset list
sub_labels	list[Any]	A list of labels from the subset list

Name	Description
fuse_leftwards	Fuse the current segment with the previous segment
fuse_rightwards	Fuse the current segment with the following segment
index	Returns subset instance index
pop	Pop a sequence interval from the subset list
set_feature	Sets arbitrary object attribute

sequences.sequences.SequenceInterval.fuse_leftwards(label_fun=lambda x, y: ' '.join([x, y]))

Fuse the current segment with the previous segment

Name	Type	Description	Default
`label_fun`	`function`	Function for joining interval labels.	`lambda x, y: ' '.join([x, y])`

sequences.sequences.SequenceInterval.fuse_rightwards(label_fun=lambda x, y: ' '.join([x, y]))

Fuse the current segment with the following segment

Name	Type	Description	Default
`label_fun`	`function`	Function for joining interval labels.	`lambda x, y: ' '.join([x, y])`

sequences.sequences.SequenceInterval.index(subset_instance)

Returns subset instance index

Name	Type	Description	Default
`subset_instance`	SequenceInterval	A subset instance to get the index of.	required

Type	Description
int	The index of `subset_instance`

sequences.sequences.SequenceInterval.pop(subset_instance)

Pop a sequence interval from the subset list

Name	Type	Description	Default
`subset_instance`	SequenceInterval	A sequence interval to pop	required

sequences.sequences.SequenceInterval.set_feature(feature, value)

Sets arbitrary object attribute

This will be most useful for creating custom subclasses.

Name	Type	Description	Default
`feature`	str	New attribute name	required
`value`	Any	New attribute value	required
