Class TickVDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  org.das2.graph.TickVDescriptor

public class TickVDescriptor
extends java.lang.Object

A TickVDescriptor describes the position that ticks should be drawn, so that a fairly generic tick drawing routine can be used for multiple types of axes.

Constructor Summary

protected	TickVDescriptor() This constructor is to support the use when tickVDescriptor was internal to DasAxis.
	TickVDescriptor(double[] minorTicks, double[] ticks, Units units)

Method Summary

static TickVDescriptor	bestTickVLinear(Datum min, Datum max, int nTicksMin, int nTicksMax, boolean fin) return a set of linear ticks, within the given constraints.
static TickVDescriptor	bestTickVLogNew(Datum minD, Datum maxD, int nTicksMin, int nTicksMax, boolean fin) return a set of log ticks, within the given constraints.

static TickVDescriptor	bestTickVTimeOrdinal(Datum minD, Datum maxD, int nTicksMin, int nTicksMax, boolean fin) return a set of ticks counting off ordinal time ranges, such as months, years, days, etc.
DatumRange	enclosingRange(DatumRange dr, boolean minor) Defining method for getting the range close to the given range, but containing at least one minor(or major) tick interval.

Constructor Detail

TickVDescriptor

protected TickVDescriptor()

This constructor is to support the use when tickVDescriptor was internal to DasAxis.

TickVDescriptor

public TickVDescriptor(double[] minorTicks,
                       double[] ticks,
                       Units units)

Method Detail

newTickVDescriptor

public static TickVDescriptor newTickVDescriptor(DatumVector majorTicks,
                                                 DatumVector minorTicks)

newTickVDescriptor

public static TickVDescriptor newTickVDescriptor(java.util.List majorTicks,
                                                 java.util.List minorTicks)

creates descriptor with two Lists containing Datums. java 1.5: List

getMajorTicks

public DatumVector getMajorTicks()

getMinorTicks

public DatumVector getMinorTicks()

getFormatter

public DatumFormatter getFormatter()

findTick

public Datum findTick(Datum xDatum,
                      double direction,
                      boolean minor)

Locates the next or previous tick starting at xDatum.

Parameters:

xDatum - find the tick closest to this.

direction - -1 previous, 1 next, 0 closest

minor - find closest minor tick, major if false.

Returns:

the closest tick. If there is no tick in the given direction, then the behavior is undefined.

enclosingRange

public DatumRange enclosingRange(DatumRange dr,
                                 boolean minor)

Defining method for getting the range close to the given range, but containing at least one minor(or major) tick interval.

Parameters:

minor - find the range from the minor ticks.

setFormatter

public void setFormatter(DatumFormatter datumFormatter)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of the TickVDescriptor.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a String representation of the TickVDescriptor.
