Class AxisParameters

java.lang.Object
  jcckit.plot.AxisParameters

public class AxisParameters

extends java.lang.Object

Helper class with various parameters defining an axis. This helper class is used by CartesianCoordinateSystem to set up a coordinate systems.

This class holds more than a dozen parameters. There are two factory methods creating instances for x- and y-axis based on ConfigParameters. They differ in their default parameters for those axes.

Note, that there is a direct access of these parameters without getters and setters but only for classes in the package jcckit.plot.

AxisParameters

public AxisParameters()

Method Detail

createXAxis

public static AxisParameters createXAxis(ConfigParameters config)

Creates an x axis based on the specified configuration parameters. All numbers (lengths, fontsizes, linethicknesses, etc.) are in device-independent units.

Key & Default Value	Type	Mandatory	Description
automaticTicCalculation = true	boolean	no	Has to be true if the tics should be calculated automatically.
axisAttributes = default values of ShapeAttributes	ConfigParameters	no	Attributes of the axis box.
axisLabel = x	String	no	Axis label.
axisLabelAttributes = default values of BasicGraphicAttributes with a text anchor CENTER TOP.	ConfigParameters	no	Text attributes of axis label.
axisLabelPosition = 0 -0.05	double[]	no	Position of the anchor of the axis label relative to the center of the x-axis line.
axisLength = 0.8	double	no	Length of the x-axis.
grid = false	boolean	no	If true grid lines will be drawn through the axis tics.
gridAttributes = default values of ShapeAttributes	ConfigParameters	no	Attributes of the grid lines.
logScale = false	boolean	no	If true the axis will be logarithmic. Otherwise the axis is linear.
maximum = 1	double	no	The corresponding data value of one end of the axis.
maximumTic = result from automatic calculation	double	no	The corresponding data value of the tic nearest the maximum end of the axis.
minimum = 0	double	no	The corresponding data value of one end of the axis.
minimumTic = result from automatic calculation	double	no	The corresponding data value of the tic nearest the minimum end of the axis.
numberOfTics = result from automatic calculation	int	no	Number of tics. The tics between the minimum and maximum tic are spaced equidistantly.
ticAttributes = default values of ShapeAttributes	ConfigParameters	no	Attributes of the tics.
ticLabelAttributes = default values of BasicGraphicAttributes with a text anchor CENTER TOP.	ConfigParameters	no	Text attributes of tic labels.
ticLabelFormat = %1.1f	String or ConfigParameters	no	Defines rendering of the tic label. By default a printf-like format string is given (see Format). Note, that an empty string means that tic labels are dropped. For non-numerical rendering an implementation of a TicLabelFormat can be specified (e.g. TicLabelMap). Note, that a configuration sub tree with a className key-value pair overwrites any string definition.
ticLabelPosition = 0 -0.01	double[]	no	Position of the anchor of the tic label relative to the tic position on the axis.
ticLength = 0.01	double	no	Length of the tics. Negative/positive values mean tics inside/outside the box.

createYAxis

public static AxisParameters createYAxis(ConfigParameters config)

Creates an y axis based on the specified configuration parameters. All numbers (lengths, fontsizes, linethicknesses, etc.) are in device-independent units.

Key & Default Value	Type	Mandatory	Description
automaticTicCalculation = true	boolean	no	Has to be true if the tics should be calculated automatically.
axisAttributes = default values of ShapeAttributes	ConfigParameters	no	Attributes of the axis box.
axisLabel = y	String	no	Axis label.
axisLabelAttributes = default values of BasicGraphicAttributes with a text anchor CENTER BOTTOM and the text rotated by 90 degree.	ConfigParameters	no	Text attributes of axis label.
axisLabelPosition = -0.1 0	double[]	no	Position of the anchor of the axis label relative to the center of the y-axis line.
axisLength = 0.45	double	no	Length of the y-axis.
grid = false	boolean	no	If true grid lines will be drawn through the axis tics.
gridAttributes = default values of ShapeAttributes	ConfigParameters	no	Attributes of the grid lines.
logScale = false	boolean	no	If true the axis will be logarithmic. Otherwise the axis is linear.
maximum = 1	double	no	The corresponding data value of one end of the axis.
maximumTic = result from automatic calculation	double	no	The corresponding data value of the tic nearest the maximum end of the axis.
minimum = 0	double	no	The corresponding data value of one end of the axis.
minimumTic = result from automatic calculation	double	no	The corresponding data value of the tic nearest the minimum end of the axis.
numberOfTics = result from automatic calculation	int	no	Number of tics. The tics between the minimum and maximum tic are spaced equidistantly.
ticAttributes = default values of ShapeAttributes	ConfigParameters	no	Attributes of the tics.
ticLabelAttributes = default values of BasicGraphicAttributes with a text anchor RIGHT CENTER.	ConfigParameters	no	Text attributes of tic labels.
ticLabelFormat = %1.1f	String	no	Defines rendering of the tic label. By default a printf-like format string is given (see Format). Note, that an empty string means that tic labels are dropped. For non-numerical rendering an implementation of a TicLabelFormat can be specified (e.g. TicLabelMap). Note, that a configuration sub tree with a className key-value pair overwrites any string definition.
ticLabelPosition = -0.01 0	double[]	no	Position of the anchor of the tic label relative to the tic position on the axis.
