Interface HeatMapDataset

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultHeatMapDataset
public interface HeatMapDataset
A dataset that represents a rectangular grid of (x, y, z) values. The x and y values appear at regular intervals in the dataset, while the z-values can take any value (including null for unknown values).

  • Method Details

    • getXSampleCount

      int getXSampleCount()
      Returns the number of x values across the width of the dataset. The values are evenly spaced between getMinimumXValue() and getMaximumXValue().
      Returns:
      The number of x-values (always > 0).

    • getYSampleCount

      int getYSampleCount()
      Returns the number of y values (or samples) for the dataset. The values are evenly spaced between getMinimumYValue() and getMaximumYValue().
      Returns:
      The number of y-values (always > 0).

    • getMinimumXValue

      double getMinimumXValue()
      Returns the lowest x-value represented in this dataset. A requirement of this interface is that this method must never return infinite or Double.NAN values.
      Returns:
      The lowest x-value represented in this dataset.

    • getMaximumXValue

      double getMaximumXValue()
      Returns the highest x-value represented in this dataset. A requirement of this interface is that this method must never return infinite or Double.NAN values.
      Returns:
      The highest x-value represented in this dataset.

    • getMinimumYValue

      double getMinimumYValue()
      Returns the lowest y-value represented in this dataset. A requirement of this interface is that this method must never return infinite or Double.NAN values.
      Returns:
      The lowest y-value represented in this dataset.

    • getMaximumYValue

      double getMaximumYValue()
      Returns the highest y-value represented in this dataset. A requirement of this interface is that this method must never return infinite or Double.NAN values.
      Returns:
      The highest y-value represented in this dataset.

    • getXValue

      double getXValue(int xIndex)
      A convenience method that returns the x-value for the given index.
      Parameters:
      xIndex - the xIndex.
      Returns:
      The x-value.

    • getYValue

      double getYValue(int yIndex)
      A convenience method that returns the y-value for the given index.
      Parameters:
      yIndex - the yIndex.
      Returns:
      The y-value.

    • getZValue

      double getZValue(int xIndex, int yIndex)
      Returns the z-value at the specified sample position in the dataset. For a missing or unknown value, this method should return Double.NAN.
      Parameters:
      xIndex - the position of the x sample in the dataset.
      yIndex - the position of the y sample in the dataset.
      Returns:
      The z-value.

    • getZ

      Number getZ(int xIndex, int yIndex)
      Returns the z-value at the specified sample position in the dataset. This method can return null to indicate a missing/unknown value.

      Bear in mind that the class implementing this interface may store its data using primitives rather than objects, so calling this method may require a new Number object to be allocated... for this reason, it is generally preferable to use the getZValue(int, int) method unless you *know* that the dataset implementation stores the z-values using objects.
      Parameters:
      xIndex - the position of the x sample in the dataset.
      yIndex - the position of the y sample in the dataset.
      Returns:
      The z-value (possibly null).
