Enum Constant Detail

DAT

public static final DataHandlerTypes DAT

DAT files.

EXCEL

public static final DataHandlerTypes EXCEL

XLS files.

GAUSS_FMT

public static final DataHandlerTypes GAUSS_FMT

Gauss .fmt files.

GAUSS_DAT

Method Detail

values

public static DataHandlerTypes[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DataHandlerTypes c : DataHandlerTypes.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DataHandlerTypes valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getHandler

public abstract DataHandler getHandler()

Gets the import handler of this type.

Returns:

handler instance

getFileFilter

public abstract javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter getFileFilter()

Gets the file filer associated with this type. Each type should have a unique filter, even if the filename suffixes are the same.

Returns:

file filter

getFileExtension

public abstract java.lang.String getFileExtension()

Gets a string with the file extension associated with files that are handled by this, for example "xls" for Excel files, or "mat" for Matlab files.

Returns:

extension string

canWriteFormat

public abstract boolean canWriteFormat()

Gets whether it is possible to write files in the represented type.

Returns:

true if files can be written, false otherwise

getTypeFromFileName

public static DataHandlerTypes getTypeFromFileName(java.lang.String fName)

Gets the handler type from the filename. DAT is returned as default.

Parameters:

fName - the filename with a descriptive suffix

Returns:

handler type

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if (fName == null)
