## Detailed Description

Iterate over all rings in an OBMol.

Since:
  version 2.1

To facilitate iteration through all rings in a molecule, without resorting to ring indexes (which may change in the future) a variety of iterator classes and methods are provided. One word of warning is that these iterator methods automatically call OBMol::FindSSSR() which may involve a significant performance hit on large molecules.

Calling iterator classes has been made significantly easier by a series of macros in the obiter.h header file:

          \#define FOR_RINGS_OF_MOL(r,m)     for( OBMolRingIter     r(m); r; ++r )

Here is an example:

          #include <openbabel/obiter.h>
          #include <openbabel/mol.h>

          OBMol mol;
          FOR_RINGS_OF_MOL(r, mol)
          {
             // The variable r behaves like OBRing* when used with -> and * but
             // but needs to be explicitly converted when appearing as a parameter
             // in a function call - use &*r

          }

## Member Function Documentation

OBMolRingIter & operator= | ( | const OBMolRingIter & | ri | ) |

operator bool | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Returns:
  Whether the iterator can advance (i.e., there are more rings)

OBMolRingIter & operator++ | ( |  | ) |

Preincrement -- advance to the next ring (if any) and return.

Referenced by OBMolRingIter::operator++().

OBMolRingIter operator++ | ( | int |  | ) |

Postincrement -- return the current state and advance to the next ring.

OBRing* operator-> | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Returns:
  A pointer to the current ring (if any)

OBRing& operator* | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Returns:
  A reference to the current ring (if any)
