Class SampleData

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Changeable

    public class SampleData
    extends AbstractChangeable
    This class holds the logic need to determine if sample data needs to be loaded or re-loaded based upon changes to the data configuration. It is shared by the design and preview panels, so that sample data is loaded as infrequently as possible.

    It is used by calling update() when a panel is displayed, and then responding to the state of the sample data by listening for changes.
