public class Text
extends Scalar

Text is the class of VisAD scalar data for text strings. The null pointer is used to indicate missing. Text objects are immutable.

Constructor Summary

Text(java.lang.String value)
construct a Text object with the generic TEXT type (TextType.Generic)

Text(TextType type)
construct a Text object with the missing value

Text(TextType type, java.lang.String value)
construct a Text object

Method Summary

Data	binary(Data data, int op, int sampling_mode, int error_mode) binary operations
int	compareTo(java.lang.Object object) Compares this Text to another.
DataShadow	computeRanges(ShadowType type, DataShadow shadow) recursive version of computeRanges; would like 'default' visibility here, but must be declared 'public' because it is defined in the Data interface
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj) Indicates if this Text is semantically identical to an object.
java.lang.String	getValue()
boolean	isMissing() a method to tell whether data object has a missing value
java.lang.String	longString(java.lang.String pre) generates a longer string than generated by toString, indented by pre (a string of blanks)
java.lang.String	toString()
Data	unary(int op, int sampling_mode, int error_mode) unary operations
