public double[] axisMargins

Constructor Detail

Axis

public Axis()

Creates a default axis with 1 bin, a minimum value of 0, and maximum value of 1.0.

Axis

public Axis(double[] limits)

Creates an axis using the desired limits for the bins

Parameters:

limits - an array of the upper and lower limits of each bin

Axis

public Axis(int bins,
            double min,
            double max)

Creates an axis using the provided number of bins, minimum value, and maximum value

Parameters:

bins - the number of bins to have on the axis

min - the minimum value for the axis

max - the maximum value for the axis

Method Detail

setTitle

public void setTitle(java.lang.String title)

getTitle

public java.lang.String getTitle()

set

public final void set(double[] limits)

Sets the specified limits to the axis

Parameters:

limits - the desired limits for the bins on the axis

set

public final void set(int bins,
                      double min,
                      double max)

Sets the number of bins, the min, and the max to the axis as well as calculates the bin widths.

Parameters:

bins - the desired number of bins

min - the minimum value

max - the maximum value

getLimits

public double[] getLimits()

A getter for the array of bin limits

Returns:

a double array of the bin limits

getNBins

public int getNBins()

A getter for the number of bins, returned in array indexing format (i.e. 1 bin would return 0, 2 would return 1, etc.)

Returns:

the number of bins in array index format

max

public double max()

A getter for the maximum value of the axis

Returns:

the maximum value of the axis

getBinCenters

public double[] getBinCenters()

min

public double min()

A getter for the minimum value of the axis

Returns:

the minimum value of the axis

getBinCenter

public double getBinCenter(int bin)

Calculates and returns the median value of the bin number entered in the parameter in array indexing format (i.e. for the 1st bin enter 0, the 2nd bin enter 1, etc.)

Parameters:

bin - which bin to get the median value of, entered in array indexing format

Returns:

the median value of the specified bin

getBinWidth

public double getBinWidth(int bin)

Calculates and returns the width of the bin specified in the parameter in array indexing format (i.e. for the 1st bin enter 0, the 2nd bin enter 1, etc.)

Parameters:

bin - the bin to get the width of

Returns:

the width of the specified bin

getBin

public int getBin(double xVal)

Finds the specified value and returns which bin it is in in array indexing format (i.e. if it is in the 1st bin, it would return 0, the 2nd bin would return 1, ... , the nth bin would return n-1).

Parameters:

xVal - the data value to find on the axis

Returns:

the bin where the specified value is in array indexing format

convertFromUnit

public double convertFromUnit(double xUnit)

Scales the range by a specified unit

Parameters:

xUnit - the unit to multiply the range of values by

Returns:

min value + ((max value - min value) * xUnit)
