Class TickUnit
java.lang.Object
org.jfree.chart.axis.TickUnit
- Comparable, Serializable
extends java.lang.Object
implements Comparable, Serializable
Base class representing a tick unit. This determines the spacing of the
tick marks on an axis.
This class (and any subclasses) should be immutable, the reason being that
ORDERED collections of tick units are maintained and if one instance can be
changed, it may destroy the order of the collection that it belongs to.
In addition, if the implementations are immutable, they can belong to
multiple collections.
TickUnit(double size) - Constructs a new tick unit.
|
int | compareTo(Object object) - Compares this tick unit to an arbitrary object.
|
boolean | equals(Object obj) - Tests this unit for equality with another object.

double | getSize() - Returns the size of the tick unit.

int | hashCode() - Returns a hash code for this instance.

String | valueToString(double value) - Converts the supplied value to a string.

TickUnit
public TickUnit(double size)
Constructs a new tick unit.
size
- the tick unit size.
compareTo
public int compareTo(Object object)
Compares this tick unit to an arbitrary object.
object
- the object to compare against.
1
if the size of the other object is less than this,
0
if both have the same size and -1
this
size is less than the others.
equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Tests this unit for equality with another object.
getSize
public double getSize()
Returns the size of the tick unit.
- The size of the tick unit.
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code for this instance.
valueToString
public String valueToString(double value)
Converts the supplied value to a string.
Subclasses may implement special formatting by overriding this method.
