SpherePlotType (Starjava TTOOLS API)

java.lang.Object
- uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.geom.SpherePlotType

All Implemented Interfaces:

PlotType
```
public class SpherePlotType
extends java.lang.Object
implements PlotType
```
Defines the characteristics of plot in 3-dimensional isotropic space. It's like CubePlotType, but intended for viewing sky data with additional radial coordinates. It differs from SkyPlotType in that radial coordinates are allowed; and differs from CubePlotType in that coords are expected to be in Lon/Lat/Radius.
This is a singleton class, see getInstance().

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static SpherePlotType`	`getInstance()`	Returns the sole instance of this class.
`PaperTypeSelector`	`getPaperTypeSelector()`	Returns an object which can provide graphics rendering functionality based on the required plot layers for this plot type.
`Plotter[]`	`getPlotters()`	Returns a list of plotters that can be used to paint data on the surface.
`DataGeom[]`	`getPointDataGeoms()`	Returns a list of one or more geometry variants which describe how user-supplied point coordinates map to the data space.
`SurfaceFactory`	`getSurfaceFactory()`	Returns an object that can construct the plot surface including axis painting and geometry information.

- Method Detail
  - getPointDataGeoms
```
public DataGeom[] getPointDataGeoms()
```
    Description copied from interface: PlotType
    
    Returns a list of one or more geometry variants which describe how user-supplied point coordinates map to the data space. The geoms returned from this method will return true from their DataGeom.hasPosition() method. If multiple values are returned, the first one may be used as some kind of default.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPointDataGeoms in interface PlotType
    
    Returns:
    
    data geom option list
  - getPlotters
```
public Plotter[] getPlotters()
```
    Description copied from interface: PlotType
    
    Returns a list of plotters that can be used to paint data on the surface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPlotters in interface PlotType
    
    Returns:
    
    plotter list
  - getSurfaceFactory
```
public SurfaceFactory getSurfaceFactory()
```
    Description copied from interface: PlotType
    
    Returns an object that can construct the plot surface including axis painting and geometry information.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSurfaceFactory in interface PlotType
    
    Returns:
    
    surface factory
  - getPaperTypeSelector
```
public PaperTypeSelector getPaperTypeSelector()
```
    Description copied from interface: PlotType
    
    Returns an object which can provide graphics rendering functionality based on the required plot layers for this plot type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPaperTypeSelector in interface PlotType
    
    Returns:
    
    paper type selector
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - getInstance
```
public static SpherePlotType getInstance()
```
    Returns the sole instance of this class.
    
    Returns:
    
    singleton instance
