Interface IAxis

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

FixedAxis, VariableAxis

public interface IAxis
extends java.io.Serializable

An IAxis represents a binned histogram axis. A 1D Histogram would have one Axis representing the X axis, while a 2D Histogram would have two axes representing the X and Y Axis.

Method Detail

binCentre

double binCentre(int index)

Centre of the bin specified.

Parameters:

index - Bin number (0...bins()-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.

binLowerEdge

double binLowerEdge(int index)

Lower edge of the specified bin.

Parameters:

index - Bin number (0...bins()-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.

Returns:

the lower edge of the bin; for the underflow bin this is Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.

bins

int bins()

The number of bins (excluding underflow and overflow) on the axis.

binUpperEdge

double binUpperEdge(int index)

Upper edge of the specified bin.

Parameters:

index - Bin number (0...bins()-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.

Returns:

the upper edge of the bin; for the overflow bin this is Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY.

binWidth

double binWidth(int index)

Width of the bin specified.

Parameters:

index - Bin number (0...bins()-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.

coordToIndex

int coordToIndex(double coord)

Converts a coordinate on the axis to a bin number. If the coordinate is < lowerEdge returns UNDERFLOW, and if the coordinate is >= upperEdge returns OVERFLOW.

lowerEdge

double lowerEdge()

Lower axis edge.

upperEdge

double upperEdge()

Upper axis edge.
