java.lang.Object
  extended by uk.ac.starlink.ttools.example.ApiPlanePlotter
All Implemented Interfaces:
SinePlot.PlanePlotter

public class ApiPlanePlotter
extends Object
implements SinePlot.PlanePlotter

PlanePlotter implementation that sets up a plot explicitly. There's a lot to do, it's quite complicated, even for a simple plot. If you don't like this approach, see the much more straightforward EnvPlanePlotter implementation instead. This approach however gives compile-time type-checking of the plot parameters.

Description copied from interface: SinePlot.PlanePlotter
Creates a JComponent holding a plot of the data in the first two columns of the supplied table. This plot is live, and can be resized (as required by Swing) and panned and zoomed (by various mouse drag and wheel gestures).

The dataMayChange parameter is used to determine whether the plot positions should be cached or not for repaints, either as required by Swing move/resize actions or as the result of the user navigating around the plot. It's always safe to set it true, but if the data is static, setting it false will give better performance.

Specified by:
createPlotComponent in interface SinePlot.PlanePlotter
Parameters:
table - table to plot
dataMayChange - true if the table data may change during the lifetime of the plot
Throws:
InterruptedException
IOException
