public interface Filter
A Filter is used by the row selector panel. A filter is used to classify a row. For instance, A Month filter might
classify a row as January, Febuary, etc. These classifications will then be used to show what data exists to a user,
who can choose just one classification to filter the data.

Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionReturns a classification key for the given row in the dataset.Creates a copy of this filter.Returns the name of the column that this filter looks atint
Given an evenly distributed dataset, how many different classification keys should be expected from this Filter? For instance, a Month filter would return 12, a Day-of-week filter would return 7, while a Year filter would simply return some guess.void

Method Details
-
classify
Returns a classification key for the given row in the dataset. If the row can't be classified for some reason, like the classification column not exsiting, null should be returned. -
invalidateCache
void invalidateCache()Called when the dataset being passed to classify has changed. This is used for Filters who do some work up front on the DataSet the first time classify is called, such as calculating the column index that they are working on. -
getDistributionEstimate
int getDistributionEstimate()Given an evenly distributed dataset, how many different classification keys should be expected from this Filter? For instance, a Month filter would return 12, a Day-of-week filter would return 7, while a Year filter would simply return some guess. This isn't critical, it is used to try and give arrays reasonable initial sizes so they don't have to re-allocate frequently. -
