public interface JRElementDataset
extends JRCloneable

Element datasets are used to represent the report data needed to generate a chart or crosstab. The dataset structure may vary with each chart type or crosstab. This is the superinterface for all datasets and contains common dataset properties.

Method Detail

getResetTypeValue

ResetTypeEnum getResetTypeValue()

Gets the reset type. This specifies the range of report data used for filling the dataset.

Returns:

one of the reset constants in ResetTypeEnum

getResetGroup

JRGroup getResetGroup()

Gets the selected reset group in case of reset type group.

getIncrementTypeValue

IncrementTypeEnum getIncrementTypeValue()

Returns the increment type. This specifies dataset values increment step.

Returns:

one of the increment constants in IncrementTypeEnum.

getIncrementGroup

JRGroup getIncrementGroup()

Gets the selected increment group in case of increment type group.

collectExpressions

void collectExpressions(JRExpressionCollector collector)

getDatasetRun

JRDatasetRun getDatasetRun()

Returns the sub dataset run for this chart dataset.

Returns:

the sub dataset run for this chart dataset

getIncrementWhenExpression

JRExpression getIncrementWhenExpression()

Returns the "increment when" expression.

This expression determines whether a dataset will be incremented or not.

The expression (if not null) is evaluated before each increment of the dataset. The increment will be carried on only when the result of the evaluation is Boolean.TRUE; if the result is null or false, the increment will not be performed.

Returns:

the "increment when" expression
