public NotConstraint(ADQLConstraint constraint)
              throws java.lang.NullPointerException
```
    Builds a NotConstraint just with the constraint on which the logical operator NOT must be applied.
    
    Parameters:
    
    constraint - The constraint on which NOT must be applied.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - If the given constraint is null.

  - getConstraint
```
public final ADQLConstraint getConstraint()
```
    Gets the constraint on which the NOT operator is applied.
    
    Returns:
    
    An ADQLConstraint.
  - getPosition
```
public final TextPosition getPosition()
```
    Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
    
    Gets the position of this object/token in the ADQL query.
    
    By default, no position should be set.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPosition in interface ADQLObject
    
    Returns:
    
    Position of this ADQL item in the ADQL query, or NULL if not written originally in the query (for example, if added afterwards.
  - setPosition
```
public final void setPosition(TextPosition position)
```
    Set the position of this NotConstraint in the given ADQL query string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    position - New position of this NotConstraint.
    
    Since:

  - getCopy
```
public ADQLObject getCopy()
                   throws java.lang.Exception
```
    Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
    
    Gets a (deep) copy of this ADQL object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getCopy in interface ADQLObject
    
    Returns:
    
    The copy of this ADQL object.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception - If there is any error during the copy.
  - getName
```
public java.lang.String getName()
```
    Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
    
    Gets the name of this object in ADQL.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in interface ADQLObject
    
    Returns:
    
    The name of this ADQL object.
  - adqlIterator
```
public ADQLIterator adqlIterator()
```
    Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
    
    Gets an iterator on the intern ADQL objects.
    
    Note:The returned iterator is particularly used by a ISearchHandler extension to browse a whole ADQL tree.
    
    Specified by:
    
    adqlIterator in interface ADQLObject
    
    Returns:
    
    An ADQL objects iterator.

  - toADQL
```
public java.lang.String toADQL()
```
    Description copied from interface: ADQLObject
    
    Gets the ADQL expression of this object.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toADQL in interface ADQLObject
    
    Returns:
    
    The corresponding ADQL expression.
