  Parameters:
    `options` - the list of options as an array of string.s
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if an option is not supported.

### getOptions

    public java.lang.String[] getOptions()

  Gets the current settings of the filter.

  Specified by:
    `getOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Returns:
    an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions.

### globalInfo

    public java.lang.String globalInfo()

  Returns a string describing this filter

  Returns:
    a description of the filter suitable for displaying in the GUI.

### getInstancesIndices

    public java.lang.String getInstancesIndices()

  Gets ranges of instances selected.

  Returns:
    a string containing a comma-separated list of ranges

### setInstancesIndices

    public void setInstancesIndices(java.lang.String rangeList)

  Sets the ranges of instances to be selected. If provided string is null, ranges won't be used for selecting instances.

  Parameters:
    `rangeList` - a string representing the list of instances. eg: first-3,5,6-last
