public BaseSimpleDataVisualizer()

Method Detail

stepInit

public void stepInit()
              throws WekaException

Description copied from interface: Step

Initialize the step.

Specified by:

stepInit in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

stepInit in interface Step

Throws:

WekaException - if a problem occurs during initialization

processIncoming

public void processIncoming(Data data)
                     throws WekaException

Process incoming data

Specified by:

processIncoming in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

processIncoming in interface Step

Overrides:

processIncoming in class BaseStep

Parameters:

data - the data to process

Throws:

WekaException - if a problem occurs

getIncomingConnectionTypes

public List<String> getIncomingConnectionTypes()

Get a list of incoming connection types that this step can accept at this time

Specified by:

getIncomingConnectionTypes in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

getIncomingConnectionTypes in interface Step

Returns:

a list of incoming connection types

getOutgoingConnectionTypes

public List<String> getOutgoingConnectionTypes()

Get a list of outgoing connection types that this step can produce at this time. Subclasses to override (if necessary). This default implementation returns null (i.e. does not produce any outgoing data).

Specified by:

getOutgoingConnectionTypes in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

getOutgoingConnectionTypes in interface Step

Returns:

a list of outgoing connection types that this step can produce

getDatasets

public List<Data> getDatasets()

Get the datasets seen so far

Returns:

a list of datasets

retrieveData

public Object retrieveData()

Description copied from interface: DataCollector

Get the data that this collector has collected

Specified by:

retrieveData in interface DataCollector

Returns:

the data collected by this collector

restoreData

public void restoreData(Object data)
                 throws WekaException

Description copied from interface: DataCollector

Set the data for this collector

Specified by:

restoreData in interface DataCollector

Parameters:
