Class OutlierListCollection


  • public class OutlierListCollection
    extends java.lang.Object
    A collection of outlier lists for a box and whisker plot. Each collection is associated with a single box and whisker entity. Outliers are grouped in lists for each entity. Lists contain one or more outliers, determined by whether overlaps have occurred. Overlapping outliers are grouped in the same list.

      • isHighFarOut

        public boolean isHighFarOut()
        A flag to indicate the presence of one or more far out values at the top end of the range.
        Returns:
        A boolean.
      • setHighFarOut

        public void setHighFarOut​(boolean farOut)
        Sets the flag that indicates the presence of one or more far out values at the top end of the range.
        Parameters:
        farOut - the flag.
      • isLowFarOut

        public boolean isLowFarOut()

      • add

        public boolean add​(Outlier outlier)
        Appends the specified element as a new OutlierList to the end of this list if it does not overlap an outlier in an existing list. If it does overlap, it is appended to the outlier list which it overlaps and that list is updated.

        outlier - element to be appended to this list.
        Returns:
        true (as per the general contract of Collection.add).

        Returns an iterator for the outlier lists.
        Returns:
        An iterator.
      • updateOutlierList

        private boolean updateOutlierList​(OutlierList list,
                                          Outlier outlier)
        Updates the outlier list by adding the outlier to the end of the list and setting the averaged outlier to the average x and y coordinate values of the outliers in the list.
        Parameters:
        list - the outlier list to be updated.
        outlier - the outlier to be added
