Constructor Detail

AttributeTable

public AttributeTable(AttributeTable oldTable)

Creates a new clone of the given attribute table. If the supplied table is null, this will create an empty table with 1 column ready to store IDs.

Parameters:

oldTable - Table to clone.

AttributeTable

public AttributeTable(int numCols)

Creates an attribute table with the given number of columns. The first column will always be the primary ID, the remaining columns will hold the attributes associated with that ID.

Parameters:

numCols - Number of columns (equal to 1 + number of attibutes).

AttributeTable

public AttributeTable(int numCols,
                      String[] headings)

Creates an attribute table with the given number of columns and given column headings. The first column will always be the primary ID, the remaining columns will hold the attributes associated with that ID.

Parameters:

numCols - Number of columns (equal to 1 + number of attibutes).

headings - Array of column headings, or null if none provided.

Method Detail

setHeadings

public void setHeadings(String[] headings)

Sets the headings associated with the table columns. The array of headings must be the same length as the number of columns including the primary ID. If it is not, this method will silently fail and not change the column headings.

Parameters:

headings - List of column headings.

setActiveColumn

public void setActiveColumn(int activeCol)

Sets the column to use for retrieving attributes. A value of 0 indicates the ID, 1 the first attribute etc. Performs a check on the new active column see if values are numeric or not.

Parameters:

activeCol - The column to use for retrieving attributes.

getTableModel

public AbstractTableModel getTableModel()

Reports the table model used to store the attribute values.

Returns:

Table model used to store attributes. This can be used by GUI elements that wish to display the attibutes as a JTable.

getActiveColumn

public int getActiveColumn()

Reports the currently selected active column used for retrieving attributes, or -1 if table is empty.

Returns:

Column used for retrieving attributes.

getAttribute

public Object getAttribute(float id)

Retrieves the attribute associated with the given ID. The attribute is determined by the ID itself and the currently selected 'active column'.

Parameters:

id - ID to search for.

Returns:

Matched attribute or null if ID not found.

getFormattedAttribute

public String getFormattedAttribute(float id)

Retrieves a formatted version of the attribute associated with the given ID. Useful for neat output, but should not be used for processing since attributes may be rounded. The attribute is determined by the ID itself and the currently selected 'active column'.

Parameters:

id - ID to search for.

Returns:

Formatted attribute or "n/a" if ID not found.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(float id,
                         int column,
                         Object newValue)

Sets the attribute associated with the given ID and column value.

Parameters:

id - ID to search for.

column - Column representing attribute to change (0 = ID).

newValue - New value to place in table.

getAttributes

public Object[] getAttributes(float id)

Retrieves all the attributes associated with the given ID.

Parameters:

id - ID to search for.

Returns:

An array of attributes associcated with the ID or null if ID not found.

getNumericAttribute

public float getNumericAttribute(float id)

Retrieves a numeric attribute associated with the given ID. The attribute is determined by the ID itself and the currently selected 'active column'. If the active column contains non-numeric data, the ID itelf is returned.

Parameters:

id - ID to search for.

Returns:

Matched attribute or NO_VALUE if ID not found.

addAttributes

public void addAttributes(float id,
                          Object[] attributes)

Adds a given set of attributes associated with the given attribute ID to the table. If the ID already exists in the table, that set of attributes is replaced with this one.

Parameters:

id - ID associated with the attributes.

attributes - Array of attributes. Should be equal in size to the number of columns-1 defined when creating the attribute table.

addRow

public void addRow()

Adds a blank row to the attribute table. Will add a new unique ID using the largest existing ID +1.
