Constructor Detail

AxisController

protected AxisController(uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.SurfaceFactory<P,A> surfFact)

Constructor. The surface factory is supplied. This is not actually required by the AxisControl class, but most subclasses will need it so it's convenient to store it here.

Parameters:

surfFact - plot surface factory

Method Detail

getSurfaceFactory

public uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.SurfaceFactory<P,A> getSurfaceFactory()

Returns this control's surface factory.

Returns:

plot surface factory

getMainControl

public ConfigControl getMainControl()

Returns the control that provides the main part of the GUI configurability. Subclasses may provide additional controls.

Returns:

main control

getControls

public Control[] getControls()

Returns all the controls for user configuration of this controller. This includes the main control and possibly others.

Returns:

user controls

addControl

public void addControl(ConfigControl control)

Adds a control to the list of controls managed by this object.

Parameters:

control - control to add

getConfig

public uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.config.ConfigMap getConfig()

Returns the configuration defined by all this object's controls.

Specified by:

getConfig in interface Configger

Returns:

config map

addActionListener

public void addActionListener(ActionListener listener)

Adds a listener notified when any of the controls changes.

Parameters:

listener - listener to add

removeActionListener

public void removeActionListener(ActionListener listener)

Removes a listener previously added by addActionListener.

Parameters:

listener - listener to remove

getActionForwarder

public ActionListener getActionForwarder()

Returns an object which will forward actions to listeners registered with this panel.

Returns:

action forwarder

setRanges

public void setRanges(uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot.Range[] ranges)

Sets fixed data position coordinate ranges. If these are not set then they may need to be calculated by examining the data to work out the plot aspect. Setting them to null ensures a re-range if required next time.

Parameters:

ranges - fixed data position coordinate ranges, or null to clear

getRanges

public uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot.Range[] getRanges()

Returns the current fixed data coordinate ranges. If not known, null is returned.

Returns:

fixed data position coordinate ranges, or null if not known

setAspect

public void setAspect(A aspect)

Sets the plot aspect which defines the view on the data. If not set, it may have to be worked out from config and range inputs.

Parameters:

aspect - fixed aspect, or null to clear

getAspect

public A getAspect()

Returns the plot aspect to use for setting up the plot surface. If not known, null is returned.

Returns:

fixed aspect, or null if none set

configureForLayers

public abstract void configureForLayers(LayerControl[] layerControls)

This abstract method provides a hook for implementations to adjust their GUI state based on the layer controls which will be supplying layers for them to plot.

Parameters:

layerControls - layer controls expected to provide layers to be plotted on these axes

addNavigatorTab

protected void addNavigatorTab()

Adds a tab to the main control for selecting navigator options. These are determined by the surface factory.

getNavigator

public uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.Navigator<A> getNavigator()

Returns the navigator specified by this control.

Returns:

current navigator

addAspectConfigTab

protected void addAspectConfigTab(String label,
                                  uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.config.Specifier<uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.config.ConfigMap> aspectSpecifier)

Adds a tab to the main control for specifying the aspect. This is like a config tab for the aspect keys, but has additional submit decoration.

Parameters:

label - tab label

aspectSpecifier - config specifier for aspect keys

clearAspect

public void clearAspect()

Clears any settings in tabs added by the addAspectConfigTab method.

updateState

public void updateState(P profile,
                        uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotLayer[] layers,
                        boolean axisLock)

Configures this controller for a given set of plot layers. This may trigger a resetting of the aspect and ranges, generally if the new plot is sufficiently different from most recent one. Whether that's the case is determined by calling clearRange.

This isn't perfect, since it only allows to clear the range or not. Sometimes you might want finer control, e.g. to clear the range in one dimension and retain it in others. It may be possible to fit that into the updateState API, but it would require more work.

Parameters:

profile - surface profile

layers - layers which will be plotted

axisLock - whether re-ranging is inhibited; normally, if true axes will not be reset by this method, but the implementation can override that if it needs to

assertHasKeys

public boolean assertHasKeys(uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.config.ConfigKey<?>[] requiredKeys)

Utility method to assert that all of a given set of keys are actually being obtained by this controller.

Parameters:

requiredKeys - list of keys this control should obtain

Returns:

true iff the getConfig method contains entries for all the required keys

Throws:

AssertionError - if the result would be false and assertions are enabled

submitReports

public void submitReports(Map<LayerId,uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.ReportMap> reports)

Accepts report information generated by plotting layers. Null map values are permitted, with the same meaning as an empty map.

The default implementation does nothing, but subclasses may override it to enquire about plot results.

Parameters:

reports - per-layer plot reports for layers generated by the most recent plot

clearRange

protected boolean clearRange(P oldProfile,
                             P newProfile,
                             uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotLayer[] oldLayers,
                             uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotLayer[] newLayers,
                             boolean lock)

Indicates whether a new configuration should result in clearing the current ranges and plot aspect.

Parameters:

oldProfile - profile for last plot

newProfile - profile for next plot

oldLayers - layer set for last plot

newLayers - layer set for next plot

lock - whether re-ranging is inhibited; normally, if lock is true this method should return false, but the implementation can overrule this and return true even when locked if it needs to

Returns:

true iff the range should be re-established for the next plot

forceClearRange

protected abstract boolean forceClearRange(P oldProfile,
                                           P newProfile)

Determines whether the change between two profiles forces an unconditional re-range of the plotting surface. This method should return true if the plotting surface will change between the old and new supplied profiles sufficiently to invalidate previously calculated auto range data.

Parameters:

oldProfile - profile before change

newProfile - profile after change

Returns:

true if a new auto-ranging is required

createDataId

@Equality
protected uk.ac.starlink.topcat.plot2.AxisController.DataId createDataId(uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.PlotLayer layer)

Returns an object that characterises a plot layer for ranging purposes. Two layers that return the equivalent (Equality) results from this method should be treated as having the same ranges.

Parameters:

layer - plot layer

Returns:

opaque object characterising identity of ranging information associated with the layer, or null if no range
