/** 
 * This filter is a superclass for simple stream filters. <p/>
 * <p/>
 * 
 * <b>General notes:</b><br/>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>After the first call of batchFinished() the field m_FirstBatchDone is
 *   set to <code>true</code>. </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p/>
 * 
 * <b>Example:</b><br/>
 * The following code snippet uses the filter <code>SomeFilter</code> on a
 * dataset that is loaded from <code>filename</code>.
 * <pre>
 * import weka.core.*;
 * import weka.filters.*;
 * import java.io.*;
 * ...
 * SomeFilter filter = new SomeFilter();
 * // set necessary options for the filter
 * Instances data = new Instances(
 *                    new BufferedReader(
 *                      new FileReader(filename)));
 * Instances filteredData = Filter.useFilter(data, filter);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <b>Implementation:</b><br/>
 * Only the following abstract methods need to be implemented:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>globalInfo()</li>
 *   <li>determineOutputFormat(Instances)</li>
 *   <li>process(Instance)</li>
 * </ul>
 * <br/>
 * And the <b>getCapabilities()</b> method must return what kind of
 * attributes and classes the filter can handle.
 * <p/>
 * 
 * If more options are necessary, then the following methods need to be
 * overriden:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>listOptions()</li>
 *   <li>setOptions(String[])</li>
 *   <li>getOptions()</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p/>
 *
 * To make the filter available from commandline one must add the following
 * main method for correct execution (&lt;Filtername&gt; must be replaced
 * with the actual filter classname):
 * <pre>
 *  public static void main(String[] args) {
 *    runFilter(new &lt;Filtername&gt;(), args);
 *  }
 * </pre>
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b>Example implementation:</b><br/>
 * <pre>
 * import weka.core.*;
 * import weka.core.Capabilities.*;
 * import weka.filters.*;
 *
 * import java.util.Random;
 * 
 * public class SimpleStream
 *   extends SimpleStreamFilter {
 *   
 *   public String globalInfo() {
 *     return "A simple stream filter that adds an attribute 'bla' at the end containing a random number.";
 *   }
 *     
 *   public Capabilities getCapabilities() {
 *     Capabilities result = super.getCapabilities();
 *     result.enableAllAttributes();
 *     result.enableAllClasses();
 *     result.enable(Capability.NO_CLASS);  // filter doesn't need class to be set
 *     return result;
 *   }
 * 
 *   protected Instances determineOutputFormat(Instances inputFormat) {
 *     Instances result = new Instances(inputFormat, 0);
 *     result.insertAttributeAt(new Attribute("bla"), result.numAttributes());
 *     return result;
 *   }
 * 
 *   protected Instance process(Instance inst) {
 *     double[] values = new double[inst.numAttributes() + 1];
 *     for (int n = 0; n &lt; inst.numAttributes(); n++)
 *       values[n] = inst.value(n);
 *     values[values.length - 1] = new Random().nextInt();
 *     Instance result = new Instance(1, values);
 *     return result;
 *   }
 * 
 *   public static void main(String[] args) {
 *     runFilter(new SimpleStream(), args);
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p/>
 *
 * <b>Options:</b><br/>
 * Valid filter-specific options are:<p/>
 *
 * -D <br/>
 * Turns on output of debugging information.<p/>
