Creates a new instance.

Method Detail

isVisible

public boolean isVisible()

Returns true if this layer is visible (should be displayed), and false otherwise.

Specified by:

isVisible in interface DialLayer

Returns:

A boolean.

See Also:

setVisible(boolean)

setVisible

public void setVisible(boolean visible)

Sets the flag that determines whether or not this layer is drawn by the plot, and sends a DialLayerChangeEvent to all registered listeners.

Parameters:

visible - the flag.

See Also:

isVisible()

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Tests this instance for equality with an arbitrary object.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the object (null permitted).

Returns:

A boolean.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this instance.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

A hash code.

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Returns a clone of this instance.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

A clone.

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - if there is a problem cloning this instance.

addChangeListener

public void addChangeListener(DialLayerChangeListener listener)

Registers an object for notification of changes to the dial layer.

Specified by:

addChangeListener in interface DialLayer

Parameters:

listener - the object that is being registered.

See Also:

removeChangeListener(DialLayerChangeListener)

removeChangeListener

public void removeChangeListener(DialLayerChangeListener listener)

Deregisters an object for notification of changes to the dial layer.

Specified by:

removeChangeListener in interface DialLayer

Parameters:

listener - the object to deregister.

See Also:

addChangeListener(DialLayerChangeListener)

hasListener

public boolean hasListener(EventListener listener)

Returns true if the specified object is registered with the dataset as a listener. Most applications won't need to call this method, it exists mainly for use by unit testing code.

Specified by:

hasListener in interface DialLayer

Parameters:

listener - the listener.

Returns:

A boolean.

notifyListeners

protected void notifyListeners(DialLayerChangeEvent event)

Notifies all registered listeners that the dial layer has changed. The DialLayerChangeEvent provides information about the change.

Parameters:

event - information about the change to the axis.
