Class StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.jfree.chart.labels.StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, XYSeriesLabelGenerator, org.jfree.util.PublicCloneable

public class StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator
extends java.lang.Object
implements XYSeriesLabelGenerator, java.lang.Cloneable, org.jfree.util.PublicCloneable, java.io.Serializable

A standard series label generator for plots that use data from an XYDataset.

This class implements PublicCloneable by mistake but we retain this for the sake of backward compatibility.

Constructor Detail

StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator

public StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator()

Creates a default series label generator (uses DEFAULT_LABEL_FORMAT).

StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator

public StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator(java.lang.String format)

Creates a new series label generator.

Parameters:

format - the format pattern (null not permitted).

Method Detail

generateLabel

public java.lang.String generateLabel(XYDataset dataset,
                                      int series)

Generates a label for the specified series. This label will be used for the chart legend.

Specified by:

generateLabel in interface XYSeriesLabelGenerator

Parameters:

dataset - the dataset (null not permitted).

series - the series.

Returns:

A series label.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Returns an independent copy of the generator. This is unnecessary, because instances are immutable anyway, but we retain this behaviour for backwards compatibility.

Specified by:

clone in interface org.jfree.util.PublicCloneable

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A clone.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if cloning is not supported.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Tests this object for equality with an arbitrary object.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the other object (null permitted).

Returns:

A boolean.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this instance.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A hash code.
