Interface IHistogramInfo

public interface IHistogramInfo

This interface is used to set/get different properties associated with a histogram. Users can obtain a handle to this by calling the gethHistogramInfo() function in QbChart

Method Detail

isHistogram

boolean isHistogram()

This function is used to find out if the current chart is a histogram or not.

Returns:

True if the chart is a histogram, false otherwise.

setHistogram

void setHistogram(boolean histState)

This function is used to set/unset the histogram option in a chart.

Parameters:

histState - Set it to true if a histogram plot is required.

isLinearScale

boolean isLinearScale()

This function is used to determine if a linear scale has been plotted in the histogram.

Returns:

True if a linear scale is being used, false otherwise.

setLinearScale

void setLinearScale(boolean isLinear)

State whether or not to use a linear scale in the histogram. Linear scale can be set to true only if rounding is enabled

Parameters:

isLinear - Set it to true if a linear scale is desired.

setRounded(boolean)

getLowerBound

java.lang.Object getLowerBound()

Get the lower bound for the histogram. The data type returned matches the datatype of the category column.

Returns:

The lower bound of the values plotted for the histogram.

The object returned can have the following type:

   Integer, Short, Long, Float, Double, String
 

setLowerBound

void setLowerBound(java.lang.Object lowerBound)

Set the lower bound for the histogram. This can also be set to null.

Parameters:

lowerBound - The lower bound desired in the plot.

See Also:

getLowerBound()

getUpperBound

java.lang.Object getUpperBound()

Get the upper bound for the histogram.

Returns:

The upper bound of the values plotted for the histogram.

See Also:

getLowerBound()

setUpperBound

void setUpperBound(java.lang.Object upperBound)

Set the upper bound for the histogram. This can also be set to null.

Parameters:

upperBound - The upper bound desired in the plot.

See Also:

setLowerBound(java.lang.Object)

isRounded

boolean isRounded()

Are the values rounded off prior to plotting in the histogram.

Returns:

True if the values are rounded off, false otherwise.

setRounded

void setRounded(boolean isRounded)

State whether or not to round values before plotting the histogram.

Parameters:

isRounded - Set to true if rounding is desired, false otherwise.

getScale

java.lang.Number getScale()

Get the scale value used to do the rounding operation in the histogram.

Returns:

The scale value used to do the rounding.

setScale

void setScale(java.lang.Number value)

Set the scale value to use in the rounding operation.

Parameters:

value - The number to use while rounding off values in the histogram.
