Package uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.geom

Class TimeDataGeom

java.lang.Object
uk.ac.starlink.ttools.plot2.geom.TimeDataGeom
All Implemented Interfaces:
DataGeom
public class TimeDataGeom extends Object implements DataGeom
Defines positional data coordinates used by a 2-D time plot.

Note the first coordinate is time, whose values are in seconds since the Unix epoch, as defined by TimeMapper.

This is a singleton class.

  • Method Details

    • getDataDimCount

      public int getDataDimCount()
      Returns 2.
      Specified by:
      getDataDimCount in interface DataGeom
      Returns:
      number of elements in data space coordinate array

    • getVariantName

      public String getVariantName()
      Description copied from interface: DataGeom
      Returns a label for this DataGeom. It may be used to distinguish from other geoms used in the same plot type, so for instance call it "Cartesian" or "Polar" rather than "Plane" if it's X,Y.
      Specified by:
      getVariantName in interface DataGeom
      Returns:
      user-directed input coordinate type name

    • getPosCoords

      public Coord[] getPosCoords()
      Description copied from interface: DataGeom
      Returns the definitions for the user-supplied coordinates that indicate plot positions.
      Specified by:
      getPosCoords in interface DataGeom
      Returns:
      coordinate quantity array for this geometry

    • readDataPos

      public boolean readDataPos(Tuple tuple, int ic, double[] dpos)
      Description copied from interface: DataGeom
      Determines the positional coordinates in data space for a supplied tuple.

      A parameter supplies the index of the field in the tuple at which the positional coordinate(s) can be found. Each position is represented by DataGeom.getPosCoords() columns of the tuple. By convention positions are at the start of the tuple, so if there is one position in the tuple it will be at icol=0, and there are multiple positions the N'th one will be at icol=N*getPosCoords().

      An array of (at least) DataGeom.getDataDimCount() elements is supplied, and on success the data space coordinate values are written into it.

      Specified by:
      readDataPos in interface DataGeom
      Parameters:
      tuple - coordinate tuple
      ic - column index in tuple at which the positional information starts
      dpos - array into which data space coordinates are written
      Returns:
      true iff conversion was successful
