Instance Method Details

#add(storable, coordinate = nil, attribute = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: <<

Raises NotImplementedError since caTissue SpecimenArray is broken in important ways described below.

caTissue alert - SpecimenArray is a subclass of Container but is a mismatch for Container in two critical ways:

  • SpecimenArray does not hold subcontainers in Container occupied_positions

  • the Specimen position cannot be a SpecimenArrayContent

  • SpecimenArrayContent is not an AbstractPosition, although it should be

Thus, SpecimenArray extends Container although it shouldn’t and SpecimenArrayContent doesn’t extend AbstractPosition although it should.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)
