Class Axis1D

java.lang.Object
  com.imsl.chart.ChartNode
      com.imsl.chart.Axis1D

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Serializable

public class Axis1D

extends ChartNode

An x-axis or a y-axis.

Axis1D is created by AxisXY as its child. It can be retrieved using the method AxisXY.getAxisX() or AxisXY.getAxisY().

It in turn creates the following child nodes: AxisLine, AxisLabel, AxisTitle, AxisUnit, MajorTick, MinorTick and Grid.

The number of tick marks ("Number" attribute) is set to 5, but autoscaling can change this value.

Method Detail

paint

public void paint(Draw draw)

Paints this node and all of its children. This is normally called only by the paint method in this node's parent.

Specified by:

paint in class ChartNode

Parameters:

draw - the Draw object to be painted

setWindow

public void setWindow(double min,
                      double max)

Sets the window for an Axis1D.

Parameters:

min - a double which specifies the value of the left/bottom end of the axis

max - a double which specifies the value of the right/top end of the axis

setWindow

public void setWindow(double[] window)

Sets the window for an Axis1D.

Parameters:

window - is an array of length two containing the range of this axis.

getWindow

public double[] getWindow()

Returns the window for an Axis1D.

Returns:

a double array of length two containing the range of this axis.

setType

public void setType(int type)

Sets the type of this node.

Parameters:

type - an int which specifies the node type; can be AXIS_X, AXIS_Y, AXIS_X_TOP or AXIS_Y_RIGHT

See Also:

ChartNode.AXIS_X, ChartNode.AXIS_Y, ChartNode.AXIS_X_TOP, ChartNode.AXIS_Y_RIGHT

getType

public int getType()

Returns the axis type.

Returns:

an int which specifies the node type; can be AXIS_X, AXIS_Y, AXIS_X_TOP or AXIS_Y_RIGHT

See Also:

ChartNode.AXIS_X, ChartNode.AXIS_Y, ChartNode.AXIS_X_TOP, ChartNode.AXIS_Y_RIGHT

getAxisLabel

public AxisLabel getAxisLabel()

Returns the label node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the AxisLabel node created as a child by this node

getAxisLine

public AxisLine getAxisLine()

Returns the axis line node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the AxisLine node created as a child by this node

getAxisTitle

public AxisTitle getAxisTitle()

Returns the title node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the AxisTitle node created as a child by this node

getAxisUnit

public AxisUnit getAxisUnit()

Returns the unit node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the AxisUnit node created as a child by this node

getMajorTick

public MajorTick getMajorTick()

Returns the major tick node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the MajorTick node created as a child by this node

getMinorTick

public MinorTick getMinorTick()

Returns the minor tick node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the MinorTick node created as a child by this node

getGrid

public Grid getGrid()

Returns the grid node associated with this axis.

Returns:

the Grid node created as a child by this node
