Class LinePlotOLAPDataModel

com.sas.graphics.components.lineplot.LinePlotOLAPDataModel

public class LinePlotOLAPDataModel

A LinePlotOLAPDataModel assigns an OLAPDataSetInterface to a LinePlot. The com.sas.storage.olap.OLAPDataSetInterface encapsulates the OLAP data structure, and the LinePlotOLAPDataModel conveys that structure to a graph by automatically mapping the OLAP axis dimensions to appropriate graph elements. The following limitations apply to the mapping:

• OLAP expands are not displayed
• A maximum of two OLAP axes can be displayed.

If the OLAP axis that supplies the category variable has more than one dimension, the LinePlotOLAPDataModel's groupEnabled property can be used to display a separate plot for each value of a group variable.

Constructor Detail

LinePlotOLAPDataModel

public LinePlotOLAPDataModel()

Default constructor

LinePlotOLAPDataModel

public LinePlotOLAPDataModel(OLAPDataSetInterface newModel)

Constructor with a data model.

Parameters:

newModel - data source.

LinePlotOLAPDataModel

public LinePlotOLAPDataModel(OLAPDataSetInterface newModel,
                             boolean newGroupEnabled)

Constructs a LinePlotOLAPDataModel that is used to assign OLAP data in the form of a com.sas.storage.olap.OLAPDataSetInterface to a LineChart with a flag to indicate whether or not grouping is desired.

Parameters:

newModel - the OLAP data

newGroupEnabled - a flag, true means grouping will be enabled if there are sufficient classificaiton levels.

Method Detail

apply

public void apply(LinePlotOLAPDataModel theOtherModel)

Utility method to convey properties contained in "theOtherObject" 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.
null is not an acceptable value but will not cause an exception to be thrown. null will simply be ignored and the property will not be modified.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determines whether another object is equal to this LinePlotOLAPDataModel.

The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a LinePlotOLAPDataModel 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 LinePlotOLAPDataModel

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Computes the hash code for this LinePlotOLAPDataModel.

Overrides:

hashCode in class DataModel

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

setGroupEnabled

public void setGroupEnabled(boolean newGroupEnabled)

Sets whether or not the LinePlot should attempt to group its elements. Grouping will only take affect if the 1st OLAP axis containing levels has more than one level.

See Also:

isGroupEnabled()

isGroupEnabled

public boolean isGroupEnabled()

Returns whether or not the LinePlot should attempt to group its elements.

See Also:

setGroupEnabled(boolean)

setTopMarkerLabelEnabled

public void setTopMarkerLabelEnabled(boolean newTopMarkerLabelEnabled)

Sets whether or not the LinePlot should attempt to label its elements using one fo the hierarchies.

See Also:

isGroupEnabled()

isTopMarkerLabelEnabled

public boolean isTopMarkerLabelEnabled()

Returns whether or not the LinePlot should attempt to label its elements using the values of a hierarchy.

See Also:

setGroupEnabled(boolean)

setPairingEnabled

public void setPairingEnabled(boolean newPairingEnabled)

Sets whether or not the LinePlot should attempt to pair up the OLAP measures. This is only supported if there are an even number of measures in the OLAP data. If so then the 1st and 2nd measure will be plotted against each other (1st measure using the x axis and 2nd using the y axis) followed by the 2nd and 3rd measures being plotted against each other etc.

setSelectionModel

public void setSelectionModel(javax.swing.ListSelectionModel newModel)

Sets the selection model that identifies which cells are selected. The graph will highlight the selected elements as well as enable selection on the graph elements via mouse clicks and brushing. To create a brush, click and drag in the element area. To move the brush (represented as a rectangle) click inside the brush area and drag.

Returns the ListSelectionModel that indicates which data values are selected.

Returns:

the ListSelectionModel containing the indicies of the selected data values.

See Also:

setSelectionModel(javax.swing.ListSelectionModel)

setXVariable

public void setXVariable(Variable newVariable)

Sets which measures are to be associated with the X axis.
Note: this is an optional property.
If neither the xVariable nor the yVariable nor the y2Variables have been specified (the typical case) then the plot will display all of the measures defined in the OLAP model choosing its own measure association preferences. However if even one of these variable properties is specified then the plot will obey only what has been specified (so if you choose to sepcify an x varaible then you will need to also specify a y or y2 variable to produce a usable plot.)

This property should only be used to do one of the following operations: to re-arrange the display order, to prevent some measures from being displayed or to designate specific measures to the x axis.

Also Note: the variable's informat property is not applicable with OLAP data.
Advanced: Use a VariableList to assign multiple measures to this property.

Parameters:

newVariable - the variable identifying the OLAP measure with associated properties

See Also:

getXVariable(), setYVariable(com.sas.graphics.components.Variable), setY2Variable(com.sas.graphics.components.Variable)

getXVariable

public Variable getXVariable()

Returns the data measure that was most recently set in the X role by the setXVariable() method. Returns a null pointer exception if the variable role was automatically assigned by the component.

Returns:

the variable identifying the OLAP measures with associated properties

See Also:

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

setYVariable

public void setYVariable(Variable newVariable)

Sets which measures are to be associated with the Y axis.
Note: this is an optional property.
If neither the xVariable nor the yVariable nor the y2Variables have been specified (the typical case) then the plot will display all of the measures defined in the OLAP model choosing its own measure association preferences. However if even one of these variable properties is specified then the plot will obey only what has been specified (so if you choose to sepcify a y varaible then you will need to also specify an x variable to produce a usable plot.)

This property should only be used to do one of the following operations: to re-arrange the display order, to prevent some measures from being displayed and/or to designate specific measures to the y axis.

setDataTipVariable

public void setDataTipVariable(Variable[] newVariables)

Specifies an array of Variables to be displayed in the data tip. By default, the variables specified on setDataTipVariable() are appended to the end of the default data tip display. To replace the default display with the list of variables in the Variable[] array, use the GraphModel to get the DataTipModel , and the call the DataTipModel's setContent() method with the value GraphConstants.DATA_TIP_REPLACE.

The following code fragment specifies two variables for the data tip display and uses them to replace the default data tip display:

 // Create an array of variables to set in the data tip display
 Variable dataTipVars[]=new Variable[2];
 dataTipVars[0]=new Variable("Task");
 dataTipVars[1]=new Variable("Duration");
 linePlot.getGraphModel().getDataTipModel().setContent(
                GraphConstants.DATA_TIP_REPLACE);
 

Parameters:

newVariables - array of Variables to display in data tip
