Action, EventListener, ThingChangedListener

All Known Subinterfaces:

RemoteCell

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Cell
extends Action

Cell is the VisAD interface for computations. It has a set of 'triggering' DataReferences and access to a set of non-triggering DataReferences.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
DataReference	getOtherReference(int index)
void	setOtherReference(int index, DataReference ref) set a non-triggering link to a DataReference; this is used to give the Cell access to Data without triggering the Cell's doAction whenever the Data changes; these 'other' DataReferences are identified by their integer index

Method Detail

setOtherReference

void setOtherReference(int index,
                       DataReference ref)
                throws VisADException,
                       RemoteException

set a non-triggering link to a DataReference; this is used to give the Cell access to Data without triggering the Cell's doAction whenever the Data changes; these 'other' DataReferences are identified by their integer index

Parameters:

index - - identifier of DataReference

ref - - DataReference to be linked

Throws:

VisADException - - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - - an RMI error occurred

getOtherReference

DataReference getOtherReference(int index)
                         throws VisADException,
                                RemoteException

Parameters:

index - - identifier of DataReference to return

Returns:

the non-triggering link to a DataReference identified by index

Throws:

VisADException - - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - - an RMI error occurred
