Class DataDisplayLink

java.lang.Object

visad.ReferenceActionLink

visad.DataDisplayLink

public class DataDisplayLink
extends ReferenceActionLink

DataDisplayLink objects define connections between DataReference objects and Display objects. It extends ReferenceActionLink which is the more general link between ThingReference (extended by DataReference) and Action (extended by Display).

Constructor Detail

DataDisplayLink

public DataDisplayLink(DataReference ref,
               DisplayImpl local_d,
               Display d,
               ConstantMap[] constant_maps,
               DataRenderer rend,
               long jd)
                throws VisADException,
                       RemoteException

construct a DataDisplayLink linking a DataReference to a Display

Parameters:

ref - the DataReference to link

local_d - if d is DisplayImpl, then d; if d is RemoteDisplay, then its adapted DisplayImpl

d - the Display

constant_maps - array of ConstantMaps specific to this Data

rend - DataRenderer that creates Data depictions

jd - - unique ID among ReferenceActionLinks attached to Action

Throws:

VisADException - a VisAD error occurred

RemoteException - an RMI error occurred
