Class IntervalXYDelegate

java.lang.Object
org.jfree.data.xy.IntervalXYDelegate
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, EventListener, PublicCloneable, DomainInfo, DatasetChangeListener
public class IntervalXYDelegate extends Object implements DatasetChangeListener, DomainInfo, Serializable, Cloneable, 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 Details

    • 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 Details

    • 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.

      The interval width to use.

      Parameters:
      includeInterval - a flag that determines whether or not the x-interval should be taken into account.

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

      datasetChanged in interface DatasetChangeListener
      Parameters:
      e - the event.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(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 Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object (null permitted).
      Returns:
      A boolean.

      Description copied from interface: PublicCloneable
      Returns a clone of the object.
      Specified by:
      clone in interface PublicCloneable
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:
      A clone of this delegate.
      Throws:
      CloneNotSupportedException - if the object cannot be cloned.

    • hashCode

      Returns a hash code for this instance.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
