public class Real

implements RealIface

Real is the class of VisAD scalar data for real numbers represented as double precision floating point values. Double.NaN is used to indicate missing values, because it has the appropriate arithmetic semantics. Real objects are immutable.

Parameters:

type - The type of the Real.

value - The value of the Real. May be Double.NaN.

u - The unit of the Real. May be null. If non-null and type.isInterval() returns true, then the unit will actually be u.getAbsoluteUnit().

error - Error estimate of the Real. May be null.

Throws:

UnitException - if the default unit of the type is inconvertible with the unit argument (i.e. if Unit.canConvert(u, type.getDefaultUnit()) returns false).

VisADException - Couldn't create necessary VisAD object.

Constructs a Real object. The error estimate will be based on a numeric value.

Parameters:

Parameters:

type - The type of the Real.
