Class IntervalXYDelegate

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.jfree.data.xy.IntervalXYDelegate
All Implemented Interfaces:

public class IntervalXYDelegate
extends java.lang.Object
implements DatasetChangeListener, DomainInfo, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, org.jfree.util.PublicCloneable

A delegate that handles the specification or automatic calculation of the interval surrounding the x-values in a dataset. This is used to extend a regular XYDataset to support the IntervalXYDataset interface.

The decorator pattern was not used because of the several possibly implemented interfaces of the decorated instance (e.g. TableXYDataset, RangeInfo, DomainInfo etc.).

The width can be set manually or calculated automatically. The switch autoWidth allows to determine which behavior is used. The auto width calculation tries to find the smallest gap between two x-values in the dataset. If there is only one item in the series, the auto width calculation fails and falls back on the manually set interval width (which is itself defaulted to 1.0).

Constructor Detail

IntervalXYDelegate

public IntervalXYDelegate(XYDataset dataset)
Creates a new delegate that.

Parameters:
dataset - the underlying dataset (null not permitted).

IntervalXYDelegate

public IntervalXYDelegate(XYDataset dataset,
                          boolean autoWidth)
Creates a new delegate for the specified dataset.

Parameters:
dataset - the underlying dataset (null not permitted).
autoWidth - a flag that controls whether the interval width is calculated automatically.
Method Detail

isAutoWidth

public boolean isAutoWidth()
Returns true if the interval width is automatically calculated, and false otherwise.

Returns:
A boolean.

setAutoWidth

public void setAutoWidth(boolean b)
Sets the flag that indicates whether the interval width is automatically calculated. If the flag is set to true, the interval is recalculated.

Note: recalculating the interval amounts to changing the data values represented by the dataset. The calling dataset must fire an appropriate DatasetChangeEvent.

Parameters:
b - a boolean.

getIntervalPositionFactor

public double getIntervalPositionFactor()
Returns the interval position factor.

Returns:
The interval position factor.

setIntervalPositionFactor

public void setIntervalPositionFactor(double d)
Sets the interval position factor. This controls how the interval is aligned to the x-value. For a value of 0.5, the interval is aligned with the x-value in the center. For a value of 0.0, the interval is aligned with the x-value at the lower end of the interval, and for a value of 1.0, the interval is aligned with the x-value at the upper end of the interval.

Note that changing the interval position factor amounts to changing the data values represented by the dataset. Therefore, the dataset that is using this delegate is responsible for generating the appropriate DatasetChangeEvent.

Parameters:
d - the new interval position factor (in the range 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive).

getFixedIntervalWidth

public double getFixedIntervalWidth()
Returns the fixed interval width.

Returns:
The fixed interval width.

setFixedIntervalWidth

public void setFixedIntervalWidth(double w)
Sets the fixed interval width and, as a side effect, sets the autoWidth flag to false.

Note that changing the interval width amounts to changing the data values represented by the dataset. Therefore, the dataset that is using this delegate is responsible for generating the appropriate DatasetChangeEvent.

Parameters:
w - the width (negative values not permitted).

getIntervalWidth

public double getIntervalWidth()
Returns the interval width. This method will return either the auto calculated interval width or the manually specified interval width, depending on the isAutoWidth() result.

Returns:
The interval width to use.

getStartX

public java.lang.Number getStartX(int series,
                                  int item)
Returns the start value of the x-interval for an item within a series.

Parameters:
series - the series index.
item - the item index.
Returns:
The start value of the x-interval (possibly null).
See Also:
getStartXValue(int, int)

getStartXValue

public double getStartXValue(int series,
                             int item)
Returns the start value of the x-interval for an item within a series.

Parameters:
series - the series index.
item - the item index.
Returns:
The start value of the x-interval.
See Also:
getStartX(int, int)

getEndX

public java.lang.Number getEndX(int series,
                                int item)
Returns the end value of the x-interval for an item within a series.

Parameters:
series - the series index.
item - the item index.
Returns:
The end value of the x-interval (possibly null).
See Also:
getEndXValue(int, int)

getEndXValue

public double getEndXValue(int series,
                           int item)
Returns the end value of the x-interval for an item within a series.

Parameters:
series - the series index.
item - the item index.
Returns:
The end value of the x-interval.
See Also:
getEndX(int, int)

getDomainLowerBound

public double getDomainLowerBound(boolean includeInterval)
Returns the minimum x-value in the dataset.

Specified by:
getDomainLowerBound in interface DomainInfo
Parameters:
includeInterval - a flag that determines whether or not the x-interval is taken into account.
Returns:
The minimum value.

getDomainUpperBound

public double getDomainUpperBound(boolean includeInterval)
Returns the maximum x-value in the dataset.

Specified by:
getDomainUpperBound in interface DomainInfo
Parameters:
includeInterval - a flag that determines whether or not the x-interval is taken into account.
Returns:
The maximum value.

getDomainBounds

public Range getDomainBounds(boolean includeInterval)
Returns the range of the values in the dataset's domain, including or excluding the interval around each x-value as specified.

Specified by:
getDomainBounds in interface DomainInfo
Parameters:
includeInterval - a flag that determines whether or not the x-interval should be taken into account.
Returns:
The range.

datasetChanged

public void datasetChanged(DatasetChangeEvent e)
Handles events from the dataset by recalculating the interval if necessary.

Specified by:
datasetChanged in interface DatasetChangeListener
Parameters:
e - the event.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
Tests the delegate for equality with an arbitrary object. The equality test considers two delegates to be equal if they would calculate the same intervals for any given dataset (for this reason, the dataset itself is NOT included in the equality test, because it is just a reference back to the current 'owner' of the delegate).

Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object
Parameters:
obj - the object (null permitted).
Returns:
A boolean.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Specified by:
clone in interface org.jfree.util.PublicCloneable
Overrides:
clone in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
A clone of this delegate.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if the object cannot be cloned.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code for this instance.

Overrides:
hashCode in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
A hash code.
