[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-6151) Containment/overlap predicates for AnnotationFS

["Richard Eckart de Castilho (Jira)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6151?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17218158#comment-17218158 ] 

Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6151:
--------------------------------------------------

Before this is addressed, the predicates need to be properly defined and be aligned with the behavior of the SelectFS mechanism (UIMA-6283).

> The UIMA cookbook describes how to detect containment/overlap of annotations. It would be nice to have convenience methods on AnnotationFS for such cases:
>  * ann.contains(otherAnn)
>  * ann.overlaps(otherAnn)
>  * ann.overlapsLeft(otherAnn)
>  * ann.overlapsRight(otherAnn)
