Class DataElement

java.lang.Object
  edu.swri.swiftvis.DataElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class DataElement
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

This class represents one "row" of data in a data file. They are immutable so that I can share them freely without having to do extra copying. When functions are applied to certain fields in them that will require the creation of new sets of them, but that would have been needed anyway. This way, as long as a function isn't applied I only have to create an array or vector or references and not duplicate all of the data. Each data element knows what DataSource it comes from so that it can give you extra information about what each parameter or value means without each one having to store that. The data in an element is separated into parameters and values. The parameters are integers for things like particle number or what type of particle. The values are the actual data and can include things like time, x, y, etc.
