Class AxisLabel

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Serializable

public class AxisLabel

extends ChartNode

The labels on an axis.

AxisLabel is created by Axis1D as its child. It can be retrieved using the method Axis1D.getAxisLabel().

Axis labels are placed at the tick mark locations. The number of tick marks is determined by the attribute "Number". Tick marks are evenly spaced. If the attribute "Labels" is defined then it is used to label the tick marks.

If "Labels" is not defined, the ticks are labeled numerically. The endpoint label values are obtained from the attribute "Window". The numbers are formatted using the attribute "TextFormat".

Text attributes in this node control the drawing of the axis labels.

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

setLabels

public void setLabels(String[] value)

Sets the axis label values for this node to be used instead of the default numbers. The attribute "Number" is also set to value.length.

Parameters:

value - a String array containing the labels for the major tick marks

getLabels

public Text[] getLabels()

Returns the "Labels" attribute.

Returns:

a String array containing the axis labels, if set. Otherwise, null is returned.
