Method Detail

java.awt.Dimension getImageSize()

Retrieves the size of this view.

Returns drill parameters for a given component The return value will be null if component is not drillable Otherwise, an integer array will be returned, where: index 0 - Edge parameter index 1 - Layer parameter index 2 - Slice parameter

getAlternativeText

java.lang.String getAlternativeText(ComponentHandle handle)

For internal use only. Application developers should not use this

returns alternative text for drill related components

setTabularData

boolean setTabularData(java.util.List tableRows)

Parameters:

tableRows - List of data to plot in the image view.

Returns:

true if data is successfully set on the image view, false if there is a data problem.

For internal use only. Application developers should not use this

Specifies data for the ImageView, from a table of data. Use this method to provide data row-by-row, from a file of tab-delimited or comma-separated values, or from a JDBC ResultSet.

When you use this method, you extract values from the file or ResultSet, organize them, and then pass them all in one call to this method. The image view creates a grid of data from the data that you pass in, and it uses this grid to populate itself.

For each data value in the table or result set, you construct an array of three Objects:

• The object at index 0 is the label for the column, in the grid that the image view constructs, in which the data item belongs. This is normally a String.
• The object at index 1 is the label for the row, in the grid that the image view constructs, in which the data item belongs. This is normally a String.
• The object at index 2 is the data value, usually a Double.

You add each Object array to a List (normally an ArrayList or a Vector). You pass the complete List to this method.

The following table shows a set of data to pass to the image view through this method:

Boston	Bowties	97300
Boston	Neckties	413812
Cleveland	Bowties	48025
Cleveland	Neckties	298511

The Object arrays would look like this, if you want the types of ties to appear in the legend (assuming that data rows in the grid represent series):

 Object[] tableRow1 = {"Boston", "Bowties", new Double(97300)};
 Object[] tableRow2 = {"Boston", "Neckties", new Double(413812)};
 Object[] tableRow3 = {"Cleveland", "Bowties", new Double(48025)};
 Object[] tableRow4 = {"Cleveland", "Neckties", new Double(298511)};

 // add the arrays to a List
 ArrayList data = new ArrayList();
 data.add(tableRow1);
 data.add(tableRow2);
 data.add(tableRow3);
 data.add(tableRow4);

 // pass the List to this method
 imgView.setTabularData(data);
 

The grid that this method constructs and feeds to the image view looks like this:

	Boston	Cleveland
Bowties	97300	48025
Neckties	413812	298511

Note that the data is not interactive. If you want users to be able to rotate or drill, you will have to provide a way for them to express that intention, and you must call this method again to display the rearranged data.
