      Parameters:
      ndim - number of error dimensions to be used
      Returns:
      true iff this object can do rendering
    • drawErrors

      public abstract void drawErrors(Graphics g, int x, int y, int[] xoffs, int[] yoffs)
      Renders error bars in one or more dimensions around a given point. The positions of the ends of error bars relative to the the point are given. There may in general be (2*N) of these, though certain ErrorRenderer implementations may impose restrictions on this count. They must come in consecutive pairs which describe error bars along the same axis in different directions. Missing error bars are represented as (0,0). The values must come in axis order where that makes sense, but note in some contexts (e.g. 3D) these may be data axes rather than graphics plane axes.

      This method is quite likely to get called from time to time with ridiculously large offset arrays. Implementations should try to ensure that they don't attempt graphics operations which may cause the graphics system undue grief, such as filling an ellipse the size of a village.

      Parameters:
      g - graphics context
      x - data point X coordinate
      y - data point Y coordinate
      xoffs - X coordinates of error bar limit offsets from (x,y)
      yoffs - Y coordinates of error bar limit offsets from (x,y)
    • getBounds

      public abstract Rectangle getBounds(int x, int y, int[] xoffs, int[] yoffs)
      Returns a rectangle which will contain the rendered error bar graphics for a given point.
      Parameters:
      x - data point X coordinate
      y - data point Y coordinate
      xoffs - X coordinates of error bar limit offsets from (x,y)
      yoffs - Y coordinates of error bar limit offsets from (x,y)
      Returns:
      bounding box
    • getPixels

      public Pixellator getPixels(Rectangle clip, int x, int y, int[] xoffs, int[] yoffs)
      Returns an array of pixel positions which can be used to draw this marker onto a raster. This can be used as an alternative to rendering the marker using the drawErrors(java.awt.Graphics, int, int, int[], int[]) method, for instance in situations where it might be more efficient. The assumption is that all the pixels are the same colour.

      The ErrorRenderer implementation calculates this by painting onto a temporary BufferedImage and then examining the raster to see which pixels have been painted. This is probably not very efficient. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method if they can calculate the pixels which will be painted directly.

      Parameters:
      clip - clipping region
      x - data point X coordinate
      y - data point Y coordinate
      xoffs - X coordinates of error bar limit offsets from (x,y)
      yoffs - Y coordinates of error bar limit offsets from (x,y)
      Returns:
      array of pixel coordinates representing the error bar as a bitmap
