MetElement	getSequenceElement() Returns the meteorological element stored in the sequence.
String	getSequenceHeading(String delimiter) Returns a brief description of the kind of data stored in the sequence in the language of the default locale.
abstract String	getSubHeading(int index) Gets a brief description of the data stored in a Sequence subcomponent in the language of the default locale.
String	getUnitsHeading(int index) This implementation ignores index and return either the element default units or the supplied heading.
void	setColumnHeading(String aHeading) Deprecated.
void	setName(String aHeading) Does nothing
void	setSequenceHeading(String aHeading) Lets you override the default sequence heading
abstract void	setSubHeading(int index, String aHeading) Sets the brief description of the kind of data stored in the sequence in the language of the default locale.
void	setUnitsHeading(int index, String aHeading) This implementation ignores the index and just stores the String

Constructor Detail

GeneralMetSequenceImpl

public GeneralMetSequenceImpl(MetElement element,
                              Interval dateRange,
                              SummaryHistory composition)

Creates a general sequence implementation.

Parameters:

dateRange - the interval for which readings can be stored

composition - a record of how raw data has been summarised to make the sequence.

Method Detail

getSequenceHeading

public String getSequenceHeading(String delimiter)

Returns a brief description of the kind of data stored in the sequence in the language of the default locale. This value can be used as a column heading if the sequence is listed.

Specified by:

getSequenceHeading in interface Sequence

Specified by:

getSequenceHeading in class GeneralSequenceImpl

Returns:

the column heading, or the element name and units in brackets if no heading has been set

setSequenceHeading

public void setSequenceHeading(String aHeading)

Lets you override the default sequence heading

Specified by:

setSequenceHeading in interface CompoundSequence

Specified by:

setSequenceHeading in class GeneralSequenceImpl

See Also:

getSequenceHeading(String)

getNumberOfSubComponents

public abstract int getNumberOfSubComponents()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Get the number of sub-components in the sequence. This indicates how many "columns" the sequence output will occupy.

Specified by:

getNumberOfSubComponents in interface Sequence

Specified by:

getNumberOfSubComponents in class GeneralSequenceImpl

getSubHeading

public abstract String getSubHeading(int index)

Description copied from interface: CompoundSequence

Gets a brief description of the data stored in a Sequence subcomponent in the language of the default locale. This value can be used as a column sub heading if the sequence is listed. It is assumed to be in the context of an overall column heading.

Specified by:

getSubHeading in interface CompoundSequence

Specified by:

getSubHeading in class GeneralSequenceImpl

setSubHeading

public abstract void setSubHeading(int index,
                                   String aHeading)

Description copied from interface: CompoundSequence

Sets the brief description of the kind of data stored in the sequence in the language of the default locale. This value can be used as a column sub heading if the sequence is listed. It is assumed to be in the context of an overall column heading.

Specified by:

setSubHeading in interface CompoundSequence

Specified by:

setSubHeading in class GeneralSequenceImpl

getUnitsHeading

public String getUnitsHeading(int index)

This implementation ignores index and return either the element default units or the supplied heading. If the units of subcomponents differ (eg in the case of Wind) need to override this

Specified by:

getUnitsHeading in interface CompoundSequence

Specified by:

getUnitsHeading in class GeneralSequenceImpl

See Also:

setUnitsHeading(int, String)

setUnitsHeading

public void setUnitsHeading(int index,
                            String aHeading)

This implementation ignores the index and just stores the String

Specified by:

setUnitsHeading in interface CompoundSequence

Specified by:

setUnitsHeading in class GeneralSequenceImpl

getSequenceElement

public MetElement getSequenceElement()

Returns the meteorological element stored in the sequence.

Specified by:

getSequenceElement in interface MetSequence

Returns:

the meteorological element

getColumnHeading

public String getColumnHeading()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returned a localized label for the Sequence

Specified by:

getColumnHeading in interface Sequence

setColumnHeading

public void setColumnHeading(String aHeading)

Deprecated.

Does nothing

Specified by:

setColumnHeading in interface Sequence

Parameters:

aHeading - the new heading

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returns a language independent name for the Sequence This name is typically used as a resourceBundle key or to identify the Sequence programmatically. It should be localized before presentation to users.

Specified by:

getName in interface Sequence

setName

public void setName(String aHeading)

Does nothing

Specified by:

setName in interface Sequence

Parameters:

aHeading - the new heading
