Class BarChartTableDataModel

com.sas.graphics.components.barchart.BarChartTableDataModel

public class BarChartTableDataModel

A BarChartTableDataModel encapsulates relational data from a javax.swing.table.TableModel and maps the TableModel's data columns onto a BarChart component. To do the mapping, it assigns variable roles to the data columns that will be used in the graph, and the assigned roles determine how the BarChart displays the data.

By default when generating a graph, a BarChart summarizes the data from a BarChartTableDataModel.

Topics:

Basic Charts
Data Summarization and Statistic Calculation
Numeric Categorizations
Data Subgroups
Multiple Response Variables
Target Values (and High-Low)
Multiple Charts in Columns and/or Rows
Valid Variable Roles for a BarChartTableDataModel

See Also:

setColumnVariable(com.sas.graphics.components.ClassificationVariable)

setRowVariable

public void setRowVariable(ClassificationVariable newVariable)

Sets the variable model(s) used to identify the data column(s) in the model whose values are used to vertically group the data elements.

Advanced: A ClassificationVariableList may be used to assign multiple variables for this property. Multiple variables will form a hierarchy of classification values in the graph.

Parameters:

newVariable - the variable(s) identifying the TableModel data column and associated properties

See Also:

getRowVariable()

getRowVariable

See Also:

setRowVariable(com.sas.graphics.components.ClassificationVariable)

setCategoryVariable

public void setCategoryVariable(ClassificationVariable newVariable)

Sets the variable model used to identify the data column in the model whose values are used to produce the bar elements along the category axis. If this property is null the BarChart will attempt to automatically select a data column from the TableModel (otherwise a graph could not be produced).

Parameters:

newVariable - the variable identifying the TableModel data column and associated properties

See Also:

getCategoryVariable()

getCategoryVariable

public ClassificationVariable getCategoryVariable()

Returns the data column that was most recently set in the Category role by the setCategoryVariable() method. Returns null if the variable role has not been set.

Returns:

the variable identifying the TableModel data column and associated properties

See Also:

setCategoryVariable(com.sas.graphics.components.ClassificationVariable)

setCategorySortVariable

public void setCategorySortVariable(Variable newVariable)

Sets the variable model that controls the order in which the values are placed along the category axis. The categoryVariable's sort property defines the direction of the values (data order, ascending, descending). If the categorySortVariable property is null (the default) then the data values designated by the categoryVariable are used to determine the category axis' value order. However if a categorySortVariable is specified then the data values designated by the categorySortVariable are used to determine the category axis' value order. Note: specifying a categorySortVariable does not change the category axis values, it only affects the order that they appear. Also note: that no category sort variable be applied if a cumulative statistic is specified on any of either the response or data labels. Also note: this property is ignored by the bar chart if the bar chart's graph model's uniformEnabled property is true.

A typical use of this property is to assign the resposeVariable as the categorySortVariable which will cause the data elements to be ordered by their response value. (ex. barChartTableDataModel.setCategorySortVariable(barChartTableDataModel.getResponseVariable());) The direction (tallest to shortest or shortest to tallest) comes from the categoryVariable's sort property (GraphConstatnes.SORT_DESCENDING or GraphConstatnes.SORT_ASCENDING).

Parameters:

newVariable - the variable identifying the TableModel data column and associated properties

See Also:

getCategorySortVariable()

getCategorySortVariable

public Variable getCategorySortVariable()

Returns the data column that was most recently set in the CategorySort role by the setCategorySortVariable() method. Returns null if the variable role has not been set.

Returns:

the variable identifying the TableModel data column and associated properties

See Also:

setCategorySortVariable(com.sas.graphics.components.Variable)

setStyleByVariable

public void setStyleByVariable(Variable newVariable)

Sets the variable whose associated values will be used to define the color mapping on the bar data elements. The values associated with the column specified by the styleByVaraible will be used to color the data elements.
Note: color is used to distinguish between subgroup values if a subgroupVaraible has been designated. Similarly, color is used to distinguish between different response data when multiple response variables have been designated. For those reasons, the styleByVaraible property is only applicable when both
(1) no subgroupVaraible has been specified and
(2) when there are 0 or 1 response variables assigned.

Please refer to the colorPaletteType property on the BarChartModel to view available options to control the type of color mapping.

Parameters:

Advanced: An AnalysisVariable, AnalysisVariableList, ClassificationVariable or ClassificationVariableList may also be specified. If analysis variables are used then the specified statistic will be applied to the label values (Note: AnalysisVaraibles should only point to numeric data columns). If a list is used then the bar elements will use the labels in the order specified (i.e. the 1st data label variable will be paired with the 1st bar variable, the 2nd data label variable will be paired with the 2nd bar variable, and same for the 3rd etc.) If more data label variables are specified than bar variables then the excess data labels are ignored

setDataTipVariable

public void setDataTipVariable(Variable[] newVariables)

apply

public void apply(BarChartTableDataModel theOtherModel)

Utility method to convey properties contained in "theOtherModel" to this object.
Note: Contained "models" (i.e. properties that are subclasses of ModelBase) will in turn be called on to convey their properties to the like contained models in the other object. In that respect this can be considered a "tree" type copy.
Also Note: This is a deep copy. Thus after the copy, mutable properties will not be shared by the two instances.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determines whether another object is equal to this BarChartTableDataModel.

The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a BarChartTableDataModel object that has the same property values as this object.

Overrides:

equals in class DataModel

Parameters:

obj - the object to test for equality with this BarChartTableDataModel

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Computes the hash code for this BarChartTableDataModel.

Overrides:

hashCode in class DataModel

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.
