Interface ComputeManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

MathCalc

public interface ComputeManager

ComputeManager outlines a set of functions which are implemented by any Triana unit/user interafce which instantiates the Compute class. Compute uses this interface to send messages back to the unit and to retireve other information as and when it requires it.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	defineVariable(java.lang.String undefinedVariable) Prompts the user to define the variable which is currently undefined.
double[]	getInputData(int i) Gets the data from the ith input node from the unit which implements this interface.
void	print(java.lang.String text) Prints the text to the debug stream for the unit.
void	println(java.lang.String text) Prints the text to the debug stream for the unit followed by a line feed.

Method Detail

getInputData

double[] getInputData(int i)

Gets the data from the ith input node from the unit which implements this interface. A double array is returned containing the data. If the length of the data is one then the input data must have been a scaler value, otherwise an array of values is returned.

println

void println(java.lang.String text)

Prints the text to the debug stream for the unit followed by a line feed. This function just returns if there is no debug window.

print

void print(java.lang.String text)

Prints the text to the debug stream for the unit. This function just returns if there is no debug window.

defineVariable

java.lang.String defineVariable(java.lang.String undefinedVariable)

Prompts the user to define the variable which is currently undefined. This allows users to not define things until the equation is run. The user just gets prompted everytime Compute doesn't recognize any constant.
