All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<StorageType>

public enum StorageType
extends Enum<StorageType>

Enumerates the possibilities for internal storage of coordinate data for presentation to the plotting classes. In particular defines the type of the object returned by Coord.inputToStorage(java.lang.Object[], uk.ac.starlink.table.DomainMapper[]).

At time of writing, this data is stored in memory, but in principle they could be cached in some disk-based file. For that reason, they should as far as possible be restricted to objects that are easily serialized to a byte array (primitives, ideally scalars or fixed-length arrays).

Method Detail

values

public static final StorageType[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for(StorageType c : StorageType.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static StorageType valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
