Interface XYSeriesLabelGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

MultipleXYSeriesLabelGenerator, StandardXYSeriesLabelGenerator

public interface XYSeriesLabelGenerator

A generator that creates labels for the series in an XYDataset.

Classes that implement this interface should be either (a) immutable, or (b) cloneable via the PublicCloneable interface (defined in the JCommon class library). This provides a mechanism for the referring renderer to clone the generator if necessary.

Method Summary

java.lang.String

generateLabel(XYDataset dataset, int series) Generates a label for the specified series.
