Class XYSeries

java.lang.Object
org.jfree.data.general.Series
org.jfree.data.xy.XYSeries
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable
public class XYSeries extends Series implements Cloneable, Serializable
Represents a sequence of zero or more data items in the form (x, y). By default, items in the series will be sorted into ascending order by x-value, and duplicate x-values are permitted. Both the sorting and duplicate defaults can be changed in the constructor. Y-values can be null to represent missing values.

      Storage for the data items in the series.

  • Constructor Details

    • XYSeries

      public XYSeries(Comparable key)
      Creates a new empty series. By default, items added to the series will be sorted into ascending order by x-value, and duplicate x-values will be allowed (these defaults can be modified with another constructor).
      Parameters:
      key - the series key (null not permitted).

    • XYSeries

      public XYSeries(Comparable key, boolean autoSort)
      Constructs a new empty series, with the auto-sort flag set as requested, and duplicate values allowed.
      Parameters:
      key - the series key (null not permitted).
      autoSort - a flag that controls whether or not the items in the series are sorted.

    • XYSeries

      public XYSeries(Comparable key, boolean autoSort, boolean allowDuplicateXValues)
      Constructs a new xy-series that contains no data. You can specify whether or not duplicate x-values are allowed for the series.
      Parameters:
      key - the series key (null not permitted).
      autoSort - a flag that controls whether or not the items in the series are sorted.
      allowDuplicateXValues - a flag that controls whether duplicate x-values are allowed.

  • Method Details

    • getMinX

      public double getMinX()
      Returns the smallest x-value in the series, ignoring any Double.NaN values. This method returns Double.NaN if there is no smallest x-value (for example, when the series is empty).
      Returns:
      The smallest x-value.
      See Also:

    • getMaxX

      public double getMaxX()
      Returns the largest x-value in the series, ignoring any Double.NaN values. This method returns Double.NaN if there is no largest x-value (for example, when the series is empty).
      Returns:
      The largest x-value.
      See Also:

    • getMinY

      public double getMinY()
      Returns the smallest y-value in the series, ignoring any null and Double.NaN values. This method returns Double.NaN if there is no smallest y-value (for example, when the series is empty).
      Returns:
      The smallest y-value.
      See Also:

    • getMaxY

      public double getMaxY()
      Returns the largest y-value in the series, ignoring any Double.NaN values. This method returns Double.NaN if there is no largest y-value (for example, when the series is empty).
      Returns:
      The largest y-value.
      See Also:

    • getAutoSort

      public boolean getAutoSort()
      Returns the flag that controls whether the items in the series are automatically sorted. There is no setter for this flag, it must be defined in the series constructor.
      Returns:
      A boolean.

    • getAllowDuplicateXValues

      public boolean getAllowDuplicateXValues()
      Returns a flag that controls whether duplicate x-values are allowed. This flag can only be set in the constructor.
      Returns:
      A boolean.

    • getItemCount

      public int getItemCount()
      Returns the number of items in the series.
      Specified by:
      getItemCount in class Series
      Returns:
      The item count.
      See Also:

    • getItems

      public List getItems()
      Returns the list of data items for the series (the list contains XYDataItem objects and is unmodifiable).
      Returns:
      The list of data items.

    • getMaximumItemCount

      public int getMaximumItemCount()
      Returns the maximum number of items that will be retained in the series. The default value is Integer.MAX_VALUE.
      Returns:
      The maximum item count.
      See Also:

    • setMaximumItemCount

      public void setMaximumItemCount(int maximum)
      Sets the maximum number of items that will be retained in the series. If you add a new item to the series such that the number of items will exceed the maximum item count, then the first element in the series is automatically removed, ensuring that the maximum item count is not exceeded.

      Typically this value is set before the series is populated with data, but if it is applied later, it may cause some items to be removed from the series (in which case a SeriesChangeEvent will be sent to all registered listeners).

      Parameters:
      maximum - the maximum number of items for the series.
