stateChanged

public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)

Specified by:
stateChanged in interface ChangeListener

addValue

public void addValue(String v)
              throws ParseException
Appends the element specified in its String representation to the end of this column.

col.addValue(a) is equivalent to col.setValueAt(col.size(), a).

Specified by:
addValue in interface Column
Parameters:
v - element to be appended to this column.
Throws:
ParseException - if the specified string cannot be parsed.

addValueOrNull

public boolean addValueOrNull(String v)
Appends the element specified in its String representation to the end of this column or adds an undefined object if the String cannot be parsed.

col.addValueOrNull(a) is equivalent to col.setValueAtOrNull(col.size(), a).

Specified by:
addValueOrNull in interface Column
Parameters:
v - element to be appended to this column.
Returns:
true if the value has been defined, false otherwise.

capacity

public int capacity()
Returns the current capacity of this column.

Specified by:
capacity in interface Column
Returns:
the current capacity .

clear

public void clear()
Removes all of the elements from this column. The Column will be empty after this call returns. WARNING: if there is an associated format that maintains a status, such as a CategoricalFormat, it is not cleared so results may not be what you expected. The CategoricalFormat can be cleared explicitely if needed.

Specified by:
clear in interface Column

compare

public int compare(int row1,
                   int row2)

Specified by:
compare in interface IntComparator

ensureCapacity

public void ensureCapacity(int minCapacity)
Increases the capacity of this column, if necessary, to ensure that it can hold at least the number of values specified by the minimum capacity argument.

Specified by:
ensureCapacity in interface Column
