Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Get the name of this axis as a String.

Returns:

The name of the axis. Usually it is "x" or "y".

setLogScale

public void setLogScale(boolean log)

Set whether this axis is in logarithmic scale or not

Parameters:

log - Set, if this axis is in logarithmic scale

setLabel

public void setLabel(java.lang.String label)

Set the label of this axis.

Parameters:

label - The label of this axis

setLabel(String,String,int)

setLabel

public void setLabel(java.lang.String label,
            java.lang.String font,
            int size)

Set the label and the font of the current axis

Parameters:

label - The label of this axis

font - Font name

size - Font size

setBoundaries

public void setBoundaries(double from,
                 double to)

Define the area to plot.
Note that if we have chosen log scale, then the values should be guaranteed to be larger than zero. If the axis is in log scale, do not set a value less than zero or else a plot error will occur.

Parameters:

from - The minimum value

to - The maximum value
