Detailed Description

Abstract base class for data display.

Library: ilvcharts

This abstract class defines a given type of graphical representation of data that is used within a chart. For example, data can be represented by markers, by polylines, and so on.

Each type of graphical representation of data is displayed within a chart by an instance of a derived class of IlvAbstractChartDisplayer. These objects that allow you to represent data in a specific way are commonly called displayers.

The displayers are divided into two categories:

A displayer can be used to display one or several data sets, depending on the type of the displayer. (See the IlvChartDataSet class for details about the data sets.) For example, a displayer that displays data with bars displays a unique data set, and a displayer that displays data with a high-low chart displays at least two data sets. For a given displayer, there are two kinds of data sets:

The current class stores a pointer to the chart graphic that uses it to display data and a pointer to a possible parent displayer. For a given displayer, the parent displayer corresponds to the composite displayer that uses this displayer if the displayer is used by a composite displayer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::boundingBox ( IlvRect bbox,
const IlvTransformer t = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Returns the bounding box of the graphical representation of data.

Parameters
bboxThe bounding box of the graphical representation of data displayed by the current displayer.
tThe transformer that is applied to the returned bounding box.
Returns
IlTrue if the bounding box has been successfully computed and IlFalse otherwise.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::canBeProjectedIfOutOfBounds ( ) const
virtual

Indicates whether the graphical representation can be projected when it is out-of-bounds.

This method returns IlTrue if the graphical representation displayed by the current displayer can be projected when it is out-of-bounds and IlFalse otherwise.

Returns
IlFalse by default.

Reimplemented in IlvPolylineChartDisplayer.

virtual IlvAbstractChartDisplayer* IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::copy ( ) const
pure virtual

Virtual copy constructor.

Creates and returns a copy of the current object. This method must be overloaded in subclasses. It is automatically declared by the DeclareChartDisplayerTypeInfo() macro. The IlvPredefinedChartDisplayerIOMembers() macro lets you define a default implementation, which returns an instance initialized with the copy constructor.

Returns
A copy of the current object.
virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::dataPointBBox ( IlUInt  dataPtIdx,
IlvRect bbox,
IlBoolean  takeInfoIntoAccount = IlTrue,
const IlvTransformer t = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Returns the bounding box of the graphical representation of the data points at a given index.

Parameters
dataPtIdxThe index of the data point(s) for which we want to get the bounding box of their graphical representation.
bboxThe returned bounding box of the graphical representation of the data point(s).
takeInfoIntoAccountA Boolean value indicating whether the point information must be taken into account when the bounding box is computed.
tThe transformer that is applied to the bounding box.
Returns
IlTrue if the bounding box has been successfully computed and IlFalse otherwise.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, and IlvSingleChartDisplayer.

IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::dataPointToDisplay ( const IlvDoublePoint dataPoint,
IlvPoint point,
const IlvTransformer t = 0 
) const

Projects a data point into screen coordinates.

Parameters
dataPointThe data point to project into screen coordinates.
pointThe corresponding screen point.
tThe optional transformer that is applied to the computed screen point.
Returns
IlTrue if the computation has been successfully performed and IlFalse otherwise.
Note
The data point passed as a parameter to this method belongs to a real data set that is displayed by the current displayer if the current displayer does not use virtual data sets. Otherwise, it belongs to a virtual data set used by the current displayer.
virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::dataSetAdded ( IlUInt  position = IlvLastPositionIndex)
protectedvirtual

Performs the updates needed when a real data set is added.

Parameters
positionThe index at which the data set is added.
virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::dataSetRemoved ( IlUInt  index)
protectedvirtual

Performs the updates needed when a real data set is removed.

This method just calls the IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::update() method.

Parameters
indexThe index of the removed data set.

Reimplemented in IlvStackedChartDisplayer, and IlvSideBySideChartDisplayer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::displayDataSet ( const IlvChartDataSet dataSet) const
virtual

Indicates whether the current displayer displays a data set.

This method returns IlTrue if the data set dataSet is one of the real data sets to be displayed by the current displayer or one of the virtual data sets used by this displayer. Otherwise, it returns IlFalse.

Parameters
dataSetThe data set for which we want to know whether it is displayed by the current displayer.
Returns
IlTrue if the data set dataSet is displayed by the current displayer and IlFalse otherwise.
IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::displayToDataPoint ( const IlvPoint point,
IlvDoublePoint dataPoint,
const IlvTransformer t = 0 
) const

Inversely projects a screen point to retrieve the corresponding data point.

Parameters
dataPointThe data point retrieved from the screen point point.
pointThe screen point that is inversely projected to retrieve the corresponding data point.
tThe transformer that has already been applied to point.
Returns
IlTrue if the computation has been successfully performed and IlFalse otherwise.
virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::draw ( IlvPort dst,
const IlvTransformer t = 0,
const IlvRegion clip = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Draws the graphical representation of data.

Draws the graphical representation of data in the given IlvPort dst using the transformer t and the clipping region clip. In the case of a composite displayer, the draw() method is called for each child displayer that composes the composite displayer.

Parameters
dstThe port used for the drawing.
tThe optional transformer.
clipThe optional clipping region.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, IlvSingleChartDisplayer, and IlvStackedChartDisplayer.

virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::drawDataPoint ( IlUInt  dataPtIdx,
IlvPort dst,
const IlvTransformer t = 0,
const IlvRegion clip = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Draws the graphical representation of the data point(s) at a given index.

Draws the graphical representation of the data point(s) at the index dataPtIdx in the data set(s) to be displayed by the current displayer. The drawing is performed in the port dst using the transformer t, and the clipping region clip.

Parameters
dataPtIdxThe index of the data point(s) to draw.
dstThe port used for the drawing.
tThe optional transformer.
clipThe optional clipping region.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, and IlvSingleChartDisplayer.

virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::drawDataPoints ( IlUInt  iMin,
IlUInt  iMax,
IlvPort dst,
const IlvTransformer t = 0,
const IlvRegion clip = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Draws the graphical representation of the data points between a given interval.

Draws the graphical representation of the data points between the indexes iMin and iMax in the data set(s) to be displayed by the current displayer. The drawing is performed in the port dst using the transformer t and the clipping region clip.

Parameters
iMinThe minimum index used to select the data points to draw.
iMaxThe maximum index used to select the data points to draw.
dstThe port used for the drawing.
tThe optional transformer.
clipThe optional clipping region.
Note
For handling the needs of chart drawing, iMin is decreased by 1 and iMax is increased by 1 before selecting the data points whenever possible. This ensures continuity when drawing the chart, especially when polylines are used.
Warning
This method is simplified for performance reasons and does not work if the data have to be shifted by the cycle length before being displayed. If the data must be shifted, you have to use the IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::drawDataPoint() method, which works for all cases.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, and IlvSingleChartDisplayer.

virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::drawFill ( IlBoolean  b)
pure virtual

Sets the filling mode of the displayer.

This method tells the displayer whether the shape to render must be filled (using the background color of the palette) or simply outlined. In the case of a composite displayer, the new mode is propagated to all the child displayers.

Parameters
bThe new value of the Boolean indicating if the shape is to be filled (IlTrue) or only outlined (IlFalse).

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, and IlvSingleChartDisplayer.

virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::drawLegendItem ( IlvPort dst,
const IlvRect legendArea,
IlvPalette itemPal,
const IlvRegion clip,
IlAny  clientData = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Draws the graphic part of a legend item associated with the current displayer.

The drawing is performed in the port dst using the clipping region clip. It is bounded by the rectangle legendArea.

Parameters
dstThe port used for the drawing.
legendAreaThe area where the drawing is performed.
itemPalThe palette of the legend item associated with the current displayer.
clipThe optional clipping region.
clientDataThe client data defined for the legend item associated with the current displayer.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, IlvSingleChartDisplayer, IlvStairChartDisplayer, IlvFixedStepChartDisplayer, IlvHiLoBarChartDisplayer, IlvPieChartDisplayer, IlvStepChartDisplayer, IlvPolygonChartDisplayer, IlvHiLoChartDisplayer, IlvBubbleChartDisplayer, IlvPolylineChartDisplayer, and IlvScatterChartDisplayer.

virtual IlvColor* IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getBackground ( IlUInt  index = 0) const
pure virtual

Returns the background color of a palette used by the current displayer to display data.

If the current displayer is a single displayer (that is, an object inherited from the IlvSingleChartDisplayer class), this method just returns the background color of the palette stored inside the displayer. If the current displayer is a composite displayer (that is, an object inherited from the IlvCompositeChartDisplayer class), this method returns the background color of the palette used by the displayer at the index index in the collection of displayers that compose the current displayer.

Parameters
indexIf the current displayer is a composite displayer, this parameter indicates the index of the displayer within the displayers that compose the current displayer. Otherwise, this parameter can be omitted.
Returns
A pointer to the background color.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, and IlvSingleChartDisplayer.

IlvChartGraphic* IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getChartGraphic ( ) const

Returns the chart graphic which uses the current displayer.

Returns
A pointer to the chart graphic which uses the current displayer.
virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getClipArea ( IlvRect area,

IlvChartDataSet* IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getDataSet ( IlUInt  index = 0) const

Returns a data set used by the current displayer.

The returned data set corresponds to the data set at the index index among the virtual data sets if the current displayer uses virtual data sets. (See the IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::useVirtualDataSets() method.) Otherwise, it corresponds to the data set at the index index among the real data sets to be displayed by the current displayer.

Parameters
indexThe index of the returned data set.
Returns
A pointer to the returned data set.
IlUInt IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getDataSetsCount ( ) const

Returns the number of data sets used by the current displayer.

This number of data sets corresponds to the number of virtual data sets if the current displayer uses virtual data sets. (See the IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::useVirtualDataSets() method.) Otherwise, it corresponds to the number of real data sets to be displayed by the current displayer.

Returns
The number of data sets used by the current displayer.
virtual IlUInt IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getDisplayItem ( IlvChartDataSet *&  dataSet,
const IlvPoint viewPoint,
const IlvTransformer t

pure virtual

Returns the item to which a view point corresponds.

Returns the index of the data point in the data set dataSet displayed by the current displayer that has its corresponding representation colliding with the point viewPoint. The returned index is equal to IlvBadIndex if no data point has been found. If the data set dataSet passed as a parameter is equal to 0, the nearest data point is searched for in all the data sets displayed by the current displayer. Otherwise, it is searched for in the data set dataSet. At the end, dataSet references the data set in which the data point has been found or 0 if no data set has been found. If no point has been found in a data set, dataSet is also equal to 0.

Parameters
dataSetThe data set from which a data point is retrieved.
viewPointThe point in screen coordinates for which we want to get the nearest displayed data point.
tThe optional transformer.
Returns
The index of the nearest data point that has been found.

Implemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, and IlvSingleChartDisplayer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getDisplayPoint ( const IlvChartDataSet dataSet,
IlUInt  dataPtIdx,
IlvPoint point,
const IlvTransformer t = 0 
) const
pure virtual

Returns the corresponding screen point for a data point.

Returns in point the point in screen coordinates corresponding to the data point at the index dataPtIdx in the data set data set to be displayed by the current displayer.

Parameters

The returned index is equal to IlvBadIndex if no data point has been found. If the data set dataSet passed as a parameter is equal to 0, the nearest data point is searched for in all the data sets displayed by the current displayer. Otherwise, it is searched for in the data set dataSet. At the end, dataSet references the data set in which the data point has been found or 0 if no data set has been found. If no point has been found in a data set, dataSet is also equal to 0.

Parameters
dataSetThe data set from which a data point is retrieved.
viewPointThe point in screen coordinates for which we want to get the nearest displayed data point.
distanceThe maximum distance allowed between viewPoint and the screen point corresponding to the returned data point.
pointThe screen point corresponding to the nearest data point that has been found.
tThe optional transformer.
Returns
The index of the nearest data point that has been found.

virtual IlvPalette* IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getPalette ( IlUInt  index = 0) const
pure virtual

Returns a palette used by the current displayer to display data.

If the current displayer is a single displayer (that is, an object inherited from the IlvSingleChartDisplayer class), this method just returns the palette stored inside the displayer. If the current displayer is a composite displayer (that is, an object inherited from the IlvCompositeChartDisplayer class), this method returns the palette used by the displayer at the index index in the collection of displayers that compose the current displayer.

Parameters

virtual IlvChartDataPointInfo* IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getPointInfo ( IlUInt  dataPtIdx,
const IlvChartDataSet dataSet = 0 
) const
virtual

Returns the point information associated with a given data point.

Returns the point information associated with the data point at the index index in the data set dataSet if dataSet is different from 0. dataSet must be a real data set displayed by the current displayer.

If dataSet is equal to 0, this method returns the point information associated with the data point at the index index in the data set returned by the IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::getRealDataSet() method.

If a point information collection has been defined to be used by the current displayer to display the considered data set, this method returns the point information that is managed by this point information collection. If no such point information collection has been defined, this method returns the point information that is managed by the point information collection that has directly been set on the considered data set (by using the IlvChartDataSet::setPointInfoCollection() method) if this point information collection exists.

Parameters
dataPtIdxThe index of the data point for which we want to get the point information.
dataSetThe data set to which the data point belongs.
Returns
A pointer to the point information associated with the considered data point.
Note
The returned point information will be used by the current displayer to display the data point with which it is associated.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::graphicalRepresentationByDataPoint ( ) const
virtual

Indicates whether there is a graphical representation by data point.

There is a graphical representation by data point for displayers displaying markers, bars, and so on. But there is not a graphical representation by data point for some displayers (such as polyline displayers, step displayers, and so on) that display continuous graphical representations linking several data points together.

This method returns IlTrue if there is a graphical representation by data point for the current displayer and IlFalse otherwise.

Returns
IlTrue by default.

Reimplemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, IlvStepChartDisplayer, and IlvPolylineChartDisplayer.

virtual void IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::insertDataSet ( IlvChartDataSet dataSet,
IlUInt  index = IlvLastPositionIndex 
)
virtual

Inserts a real data set to be displayed by the current displayer.

Parameters
dataSetThe data set to insert.
indexThe index at which the data set must be inserted.
virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::isContinuous ( ) const
virtual

Indicates whether the graphical representation is continuous.

The graphical representation of data displayed by a displayer is continuous if the graphical representation displayed for a given data point extends to and relies on another data point. So it is continuous if a given data point is not sufficient to display the graphical representation for this data point. For example, the graphical representation of data by a polyline is continuous since it requires the given data point and the following data point to be able to draw the graphical representation for a given data point. On the other hand, the graphical representation of data by markers is not continuous.

This method returns IlTrue if the current displayer is continuous and IlFalse otherwise.

Returns
IlFalse by default.

Reimplemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, IlvStepChartDisplayer, IlvPieChartDisplayer, IlvHiLoChartDisplayer, and IlvPolylineChartDisplayer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::isFilled ( ) const
virtual

Indicates whether the graphical representation is filled.

A graphical representation is filled for a given data point if it is not only located around this data point but also if it extends towards the origin. This is the case, for example, for displayers representing data with bars. A bar begins at the data point position and is drawn to the abscissa scale in Cartesian charts and to the center of the data display area in polar charts.

This method returns IlTrue if the graphical representation displayed by the current displayer is filled and IlFalse otherwise.

Returns
IlFalse by default.

Reimplemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, IlvStairChartDisplayer, IlvPolygonChartDisplayer, IlvBarChartDisplayer, and IlvHiLoChartDisplayer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::isViewable ( ) const
virtual

Indicates whether the graphical representation can be viewed.

The graphical representation displayed by the current displayer can be viewed if and only if all the elements required to be able to display this graphical representation are verified. By default, it can be viewed if the graphical representation is visible, if the number of data sets to display is greater than 0, and if the coordinate information associated with the ordinate scale considered to display the data is defined.

Returns
IlTrue if the graphical representation displayed by the current displayer can be viewed, IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented in IlvCompositeChartDisplayer, IlvBubbleChartDisplayer, and IlvHiLoChartDisplayer.

IlBoolean IlvAbstractChartDisplayer::isVisible ( ) const
