Method Detail

setDisplayerSettings

void setDisplayerSettings(org.dashbuilder.displayer.DisplayerSettings displayerSettings)

The data displayer to draw.

getDisplayerSettings

org.dashbuilder.displayer.DisplayerSettings getDisplayerSettings()

setDataSetHandler

void setDataSetHandler(DataSetHandler dataSetHandler)

The handler used to fetch and manipulate the data set.

getDataSetHandler

DataSetHandler getDataSetHandler()

getDisplayerConstraints

org.dashbuilder.displayer.DisplayerConstraints getDisplayerConstraints()

Every Displayer implementation must define the set of features it supports as well as other behavioral settings. These "constrains" are needed for two main reasons:

• Validation purposes: in order to ensure the DisplayerSettings are valid and ready for rendering.
• Edition purposes: in order to let the DisplayerEditor know what features/settings/behaviour this Displayer implementation supports.

addListener

void addListener(DisplayerListener... listeners)

Add a listener interested in receive events generated within this displayer component.

addFormatter

void addFormatter(String columnId,
                  ValueFormatter formatter)

Registers a custom formatter for the given column

draw

void draw()

Draw the chart

redraw

void redraw()

Same as draw but does not necessary implies to repaint everything again. It's just a matter of update & display the latest data set changes.

isDrawn

boolean isDrawn()

Check if the displayer is completely drawn.

setRefreshOn

void setRefreshOn(boolean enabled)

Enables or disables the automatic refresh capability (enabled by default).

See Also:

DisplayerSettings.getRefreshInterval()

isRefreshOn

boolean isRefreshOn()

Check if the automatic refresh is on.

export

void export(ExportFormat format,
            int maxRows,
            ExportCallback callback)

Export the data being displayed into the specified output format.

Parameters:

format - The output format

maxRows - Max rows to be exported. If lower or equals to 0 then all rows will be exported.
