All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Comparable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConstantMap

public class ScalarMap
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable, Comparable

A ScalarMap object defines a mapping from a RealType to a DisplayRealType. A set of ScalarMap objects define how data are dislayed.

The mapping of values is linear. Any non-linear mapping must be handled by Display CoordinateSystem-s.

getControl

public Control getControl()

Gets the Control for the DisplayScalar. The Control is constructed when this ScalarMap is linked to a Display via an invocation of the Display.addMap(ScalarMap) method. Not all ScalarMaps have Controls, generally depending on the ScalarMap's DisplayRealType. If a ScalarMap is removed from a Display (via the Display.clearMaps() method, then, in general, any information in the ScalarMap's control will be lost and must be reestablished.

Returns:

               double[] display)

return value is true if data (RealType) values are linearly scaled to display (DisplayRealType) values; if so, then values are scaled by: display_value = data_value * so[0] + so[1]; (data[0], data[1]) defines range of data values (either passed in to setRange or computed by autoscaling logic) and (display[0], display[1]) defines range of display values; so, data, display must each be passed in as double[2] arrays; note if overrideUnit != null, so and data are in overrideUnit
