# Recorder
Support for round trips of TF data to annotation tools and back.
The scenario is:
* Prepare a piece of corpus material for plain text use in an annotation tool,
e.g. [BRAT](https://brat.nlplab.org).
* Alongside the plain text, generate a mapping file that maps nodes to
character positions in the plain text
* Use an annotation tool to annotate the plain text
* Read the output of the annotation tools and convert it into TF features,
using the mapping file.
## Explanation
The recorder object is an engine to which you can send text material, interspersed
with commands that say:
* start node `n`;
* end node `n`.
The recorder stores the accumulating text as a plain text, without any
trace of the `start` and `end` commands.
However, it also maintains a mapping between character positions in the
accumulated text and the nodes.
At any moment, there is a set of *active* nodes: the ones that have been started,
but not yet ended.
Every character of text that has been sent to the recorder
will add an entry to the position mapping: it maps the position of that character
to the set of active nodes at that point.
## Usage
We suppose you have a corpus loaded, either by
```
from tf.app import use
A = use(corpus)
api = A.api
```
or by
```
from tf.fabric import Fabric
TF = Fabric(locations, modules)
api = TF.load(features)
```
```
from tf.convert.recorder import Recorder
rec = Recorder(api)
rec.add("a")
rec.start(n1)
rec.add("bc")
rec.start(n2)
rec.add("def")
rec.end(n1)
rec.add("ghij")
rec.end(n2)
rec.add("klmno")
```
This leads to the following mapping:
position | text | active nodes
--- | --- | ---
0 | `a` | `{}`
1 | `b` | `{n1}`
2 | `c` | `{n1}`
3 | `d` | `{n1, n2}`
4 | `e` | `{n1, n2}`
5 | `f` | `{n1, n2}`
6 | `g` | `{n2}`
7 | `h` | `{n2}`
8 | `i` | `{n2}`
9 | `j` | `{n2}`
10 | `k` | `{}`
11 | `l` | `{}`
12 | `m` | `{}`
13 | `n` | `{}`
14 | `o` | `{}`
There are methods to obtain the accumulated text and the mapped positions from the
recorder.
You can write the information of a recorder to disk and read it back later.
And you can generate features from a CSV file using the mapped positions.

def rPositions(self, acceptMaterialOutsideNodes=False):
"""Get the first textual position for each node
The position information is a big amount of data, in the general case.
Under certain assumptions we can economize on this data usage.
Strong assumptions:
1. every textual position is covered by **exactly one node**;
2. the nodes are consecutive:
every next node is equal to the previous node plus 1;
3. the positions of the nodes are monotonous in the nodes, i.e.
if node *n* < *m*, then the position of *n* is before the position of *m*.
Imagine the text partitioned in consecutive non-overlapping chunks, where
each node corresponds to exactly one chunk, and the order of the nodes
is the same as the order of the corresponding chunks.
We compute a list of positions that encode the mapping from nodes to textual
positions as follows:
Suppose we need map nodes *n*, *n+1*, ..., *n+m* to textual positions;
say
* node *n* starts at position *t0*,
* node *n+1* at position *t1*,
* node *n+m* at position *tm*.
Say position *te* is the position just after the whole text covered by these
nodes.
Then we deliver the mapping as a sequence of these numbers:
* *n - 1*
* *t0*
* *t1*
* ...
* *tm*
* *te*
So the first element of the list is used to specify the offset to be
applied for all subsequent nodes.
The *te* value is added as a sentinel, to facilitate the determination
of the last position of each node.
Users of this list can find the start and end positions of node *m*
as follows
```
start = posList[m - posList[0]]
end = posList[m - posList[0] + 1] - 1
```
Parameters
----------
acceptMaterialOutsideNodes: boolean, optional False
If this is True, we accept that the text contains extra material that is not
covered by any node.
That means that condition 1 above is relaxed to that we accept that
some textual positions do not correspond to any node.
Applications that make use of the positions must realize that in this case
the material associated with a node also includes the subsequent material
outside any node.
Returns
-------
list | str
The result is a list of numbers as described above.
We only return the *posList* if the assunptions hold.
If not, we return a string with diagnostic information.
