/*File PlotALot02.java
Copyright 2005, R.G.BaldwinThis program is an update to the program named
PlotALot01. This program is designed to plotlarge amounts of time-series data for two
channels on the same axes. One set of data isplotted using the color black. The other set of
data is plotted using the color red. SeePlotALot01.java for a one-channel program.
Note that by carefully adjusting the plottingparameters, this program could also be used to
plot large quantities of spectral data in awaterfall display.
The class provides a main method so that theclass can be run as an application to test
itself.There are three steps involved in the use of this
class for plotting time series data:1. Instantiate a plotting object of type
PlotALot02 using one of two overloadedconstructors.
2. Feed pairs of data values that are to beplotted to the plotting object by calling the
feedData method once for each pair of datavalues. The first value in the pair will be
plotted in black. The second value in thepair will be plotted in red.
3. call one of two overloaded plotData methodson the plotting object once all of the data
has been fed to the object. This causes allof the data to be plotted.A using program can instantiate as many plotting
objects as are needed to plot all of thedifferent pairs of time series that need to be
plotted. Each plotting object can be used toplot as many pairs of data values as need be
plotted until the program runs out of availablememory.
The plotting object of type PlotALot02 owns oneor more Page objects that extend the Frame class.
The plotting object can own as many Page objectsas are necessary to plot all of the pairs of data
that are fed to that plotting object.The program produces a graphic output consisting
of a stack of Page objects on the screen, withthe data plotted on a Canvas object contained by
the Page object. The Page showing the earliestdata is on the top of the stack and the Page
showing the latest data is on the bottom of thestack. The Page objects on the top of the stack
must be physically moved in order to see thePage objects on the bottom of the stack.
Each Page object contains one or more horizontalaxes on which the data is plotted. The two time
series are superimposed on the same axes with thedata from one time series being plotted in black
and the data from the other time series beingplotted in red.
The earliest data is plotted on the axis nearestthe top of the Page moving from left to right
across the horizontal axis. Positive data valuesare plotted above the axis and negative values
are plotted below the axis. When the right endof an axis is reached, the next data value is
plotted on the left end of the axis immediatelybelow it. When the right end of the last axis on
the Page is reached, a new Page object is createdand the next data value is plotted at the left
end of the top axis on that new Page object.A mentioned above, there are two overloaded
versions of the constructor for the PlotALot02class. One overloaded version accepts several
incoming parameters allowing the user to controlvarious aspects of the plotting format. A second
overloaded version accepts a title string onlyand sets all of the plotting parameters to
default values. You can easily modify thesedefault values and recompile the class if you
prefer different default values.The parameters for the version of the constructor
that accepts plotting format information are:String title: Title for the Frame object. This
title isconcatenated with the page number and
the result appears in the banner at the top ofthe Frame.
int frameWidth:The Frame width in pixels.int frameHeight: The Frame height in pixels.
int traceSpacing: Distance between trace axes inpixels.
int sampSpace: Number of pixels dedicated to eachdata sample in pixels per sample. Must be 1 or
greater.int ovalWidth: Width of an oval that is used to
mark each sample value on the plot.int ovalHeight: Height of an oval that is used to
mark each sample value on the plot.For test purposes, the main method instantiates a
single plotting object and feeds two time seriesto that plotting object. Plotting parameters are
specified for the plotting object by using theoverloaded version of the constructor that
accepts plotting parameters.The data that is fed to the plotting object is
white random noise. One of the time series isthe sequence of values obtained from a random
number generator. The other time series is thesame as the first except that the sign of each
data values are reversed.Fifteen of the data values for each time series
are not random. Seven of the values for thefirst time series are set to values of 0,0,25,-25,
25,0,0. The corresponding seven values for thesecond time series are set to the same values
with sign reversal. This is done to confirm theproper transition from the end of one page to the
beginning of the next page.In addition, eight of the values for the first
time series are set to 0,0,20,20,-20,-20,0,0.The corresponding values for the second time
series are set to the same values with signreversal. This is done in order to confirm the
proper transition from one trace to the nexttrace on the same page.
These specific values and the locations in thedata where they are placed provide visible
confirmation that the transitions mentioned aboveare handled correctly. Note, however that these
are the correct locations for an AWT Frame objectunder WinXP. A Frame may have different inset
values under other operating systems, which maycause these specific locations to be incorrect
for that operating system. In that case, thevalues will be plotted but they won't confirm
the proper transition.The following information about the plotting
parameters is displayed on the command linescreen when the class is used for plotting. The
values shown below result from the execution ofthe main method of the class for test purposes.
Title: AFrame width: 158
Frame height: 237Page width: 150
Page height: 210Trace spacing: 36
Sample spacing: 5Traces per page: 5
Samples per page: 150There are two overloaded versions of the plotData
method. One version allows the user to specifythe location on the screen where the stack of
plotted pages will appear. This version requirestwo parameters, which are coordinate values in
pixels. The first parameter specifies thehorizontal coordinate of the upper left corner of
the stack of pages relative to the upper leftcorner of the screen. The second parameter
specifies the vertical coordinate of the upperleft corner of the stack of pages relative to the
upper left corner of the screen. Specifyingcoordinate values of 0,0 causes the stack to be
located in the upper left corner of the screen.The other overloaded version of plotData places
the stack of pages in the upper left corner ofthe screen by default. The main method in this
class uses the second version causing the stackof pages to appear in the upper left corner of
the screen by default.Each page has a WindowListener that willterminate the program if the user clicks the
close button on the Frame.The program was tested using J2SE 5.0 and WinXP.
Requires J2SE 5.0 to support generics.************************************************/
