protected java.lang.String range

A description of the range.

Constructor Detail

BasicTimeSeries

public BasicTimeSeries(java.lang.String name)

Creates a new (empty) time series.

By default, a daily time series is created. Use one of the other constructors if you require a different time period.

Parameters:

name - The name of the series.

BasicTimeSeries

public BasicTimeSeries(java.lang.String name,
                       java.lang.Class timePeriodClass)

Creates a new (empty) time series.

Parameters:

name - The series name.

timePeriodClass - The type of time period.

BasicTimeSeries

public BasicTimeSeries(java.lang.String name,
                       java.lang.String domain,
                       java.lang.String range,
                       java.lang.Class timePeriodClass)

Creates a new time series that contains no data.

Descriptions can be specified for the domain and range. One situation where this is helpful is when generating a chart for the time series - axis labels can be taken from the domain and range description.

Parameters:

name - The name of the series.

domain - The domain description.

range - The range description.

Method Detail

getDomainDescription

public java.lang.String getDomainDescription()

Returns the domain description.

Returns:

The domain description.

setDomainDescription

public void setDomainDescription(java.lang.String description)

Sets the domain description.

A property change event is fired, and an undoable edit is posted.

Parameters:

description - The new description.

getRangeDescription

public java.lang.String getRangeDescription()

Returns the range description.

Returns:

The range description.

setRangeDescription

public void setRangeDescription(java.lang.String description)

Sets the range description.

Registered listeners are notified of the change.

Parameters:

description - The new description.

getItemCount

public int getItemCount()

Returns the number of items in the series.

Returns:

The item count.

getTimePeriodClass

public java.lang.Class getTimePeriodClass()

Returns the time period class for this series.

Only one time period class can be used within a single series (enforced). If you add a data item with a Year for the time period, then all subsequent data items must also have a Year for the time period.

Returns:

The time period class for this series (null if the series is empty).

getDataPair

public TimeSeriesDataPair getDataPair(int index)

Returns one data pair for the series.

Parameters:

index - The index within the series (zero-based).

Returns:

One data pair for the series.

getDataPair

public TimeSeriesDataPair getDataPair(TimePeriod period)

Returns the data pair for a specific period.

Parameters:

period - The period of interest.

Returns:

The data pair matching the specified period (or null if there is no match).

getTimePeriod

public TimePeriod getTimePeriod(int index)

Returns the time period at the specified index.

Returns:

The time period at the specified index.

getNextTimePeriod

public TimePeriod getNextTimePeriod()

Returns a time period that would be the next in sequence on the end of the time series.

getTimePeriods

public java.util.Collection getTimePeriods()

Returns a collection of all the time periods in the time series.

getTimePeriodsUniqueToOtherSeries

public java.util.Collection getTimePeriodsUniqueToOtherSeries(BasicTimeSeries series)

Returns a collection of time periods in the specified series, but not in this series, and therefore unique to the specified series.

getIndex

public int getIndex(TimePeriod period)

Returns the index of the specified time period.

Returns:

The index of the specified time period.

getValue

public java.lang.Number getValue(int index)

Returns the value at the specified index.

Returns:

The value at the specified index.

getValue

public java.lang.Number getValue(TimePeriod period)

Returns the value for a time period.

Returns:

The value (null if the time period is not in the series).

value - The new value.

addAndOrUpdate

public BasicTimeSeries addAndOrUpdate(BasicTimeSeries series)

Adds or updates data from one series to another. Returns another series containing the values that were overwritten.

Deletes data between the start and end index.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a clone of the time series.

Notes: --> no need to clone the domain and range descriptions, since String object is immutable; --> we pass over to the more general method clone(start, end).
