      • compare

        public int compare​(int addr1,
                           int addr2)
        Compare two annotations. First compare by start position, where smaller start position means smaller annotation. If start positions are equal, compare by end position, where larger end position is smaller. Finally, compare by type code, arbitrarily. Does not compare feature values.
        Specified by:
        compare in interface FSImplComparator
        Parameters:
        addr1 - Address of FS1.
        addr2 - Address of FS2.
        Returns:
        -1, if FS1 is "smaller" than FS2; 1, if FS2 is smaller than FS1; and 0, if FS1 equals FS2.
