Class TSTypes

java.lang.Object
  com.jstatcom.ts.TSTypes

public class TSTypes
extends java.lang.Object

This class contains an enumeration of constants that define different types of time series.

It implements the typesave enum pattern (Joshua Bloch, "Effective Java", Item 21) . If you compare TSTypes, always use the == operator. This is save, because they are Singletons (Gamma et al., 1995) .

Constructor Detail

TSTypes

public TSTypes(java.lang.String name)

Creates a TSTypes with a descriptive name.

Parameters:

name - identifier

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

Method Detail

valueOf

public static final TSTypes valueOf(java.lang.String str)

Factory method that gets a reference to the static type from an identifying string. The lookup is case insensitive.

Parameters:

str - type name

Returns:

singleton instance for the type name, or null if no such type exists

Throws:

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

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Override prevention method to enforce a.equals(b) if and only if a==b.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - object to compare with

Returns:

true if equal, false otherwise

getIcon

public javax.swing.Icon getIcon()

Gets the respective icon that visualizes the property.

Returns:

icon for visualization of this type

getName

public final java.lang.String getName()

Gets the name of the type. Do not use for comparisons, but compare by reference.

Returns:

name of this type

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Override prevention method invokes super method.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

hash code

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of the type, do not use for comparisons.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
