public interface SGTData

Base class for sgtplot datamodel rank information. The SGTData class and its children are used by sgtplot to determine the rank (point, line, grid) of the data. Data values can be either double or GeoDate, which extends Date. Missing values are indicated by Double.NaN for type double and by null or by Long.MIN_VALUE milliseconds after (before) January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT for GeoDate.

Since:

1.0

Method Detail

getTitle

java.lang.String getTitle()

Get the title.

getKeyTitle

SGLabel getKeyTitle()

Get a title formatted for a Key. JPlotLayout will use this if an explicit Key title is not given in the addData method.

See Also:

SGLabel, ColorKey, LineKey, PointCollectionKey, VectorKey

getId

java.lang.String getId()

Get the unique identifier. The presence of the identifier is optional, but if it is present it should be unique. This field is used to search for the layer that contains the data.

Returns:

unique identifier

See Also:

Pane, Layer

copy

SGTData copy()

Create a shallow copy. User should implement using the clone() method, which requires the Cloneable interface be inherited. If clone() is used, then references to objects are copied NOT the object itself.

For example,

 public SGTData copy() {
   SGTData newData;
   try {
     newData = (SGTData)clone();
   } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
     newData = null;
   }
   return newData;
 }
 

Returns:

shallow copy

See Also:

Object

isXTime

boolean isXTime()

Returns true if the X coordinate is Time.

isYTime

boolean isYTime()

Returns true if the Y coordinate is Time.

getXMetaData

SGTMetaData getXMetaData()

Returns the X SGTMetaData.

getYMetaData

SGTMetaData getYMetaData()

Returns the Y SGTMetaData.

getXRange

SoTRange getXRange()

Returns the range of the X coordinates. If all the data in the array is missing, this method will return Double.NaN as the start and end values for data of type double and return GeoDate(Long.MIN_VALUE) for data of type GeoDate.

See Also:

GeoDate.isMissing()

getYRange

SoTRange getYRange()

Returns the range of the Y coordinates.

See Also:

getXRange()

addPropertyChangeListener

void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener l)

Add a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list.

removePropertyChangeListener

void removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener l)

Remove a PropertyChangeListener from the listener list.
