Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ContinuousDistChart()

umontreal.ssj.charts.ContinuousDistChart.ContinuousDistChart	(	ContinuousDistribution	dist,
		double	a,
		double	b,
		int	m )

Constructor for a new ContinuousDistChart instance.

It will plot the continuous distribution dist over the interval \([a,b]\), using \(m+1\) equidistant sample points.

Parameters

dist	continuous distribution to plot
a	lower bound of interval
b	upper bound of interval
m	number of steps

Member Function Documentation

setParam()

void umontreal.ssj.charts.ContinuousDistChart.setParam	(	double	a,
		double	b,
		int	m )

Sets the parameters \(a\), \(b\) and \(m\) for this object.

Parameters

a	lower bound of interval
b	upper bound of interval
m	number of points in the plot minus one

toLatexCdf()

String umontreal.ssj.charts.ContinuousDistChart.toLatexCdf	(	int	width,
		int	height )

Exports a chart of the cdf to a LaTeX source code using PGF/TikZ.

This method constructs and returns a string that can be written to a LaTeX document to render the plot. width and height represents the width and the height of the produced chart. These dimensions do not take into account the axes and labels extra space. The width and the height of the chart are measured in centimeters.

Parameters

width	Chart’s width in centimeters
height	Chart’s height in centimeters

Returns

LaTeX source code

Definition at line 136 of file ContinuousDistChart.java.

toLatexDensity()

String umontreal.ssj.charts.ContinuousDistChart.toLatexDensity	(	int	width,
		int	height )

Similar to toLatexCdf, but for the probability density instead of the cdf.

Parameters

width	Chart’s width in centimeters
height	Chart’s height in centimeters

Returns

LaTeX source code

Definition at line 147 of file ContinuousDistChart.java.

viewCdf()

JFrame umontreal.ssj.charts.ContinuousDistChart.viewCdf	(	int	width,
		int	height )

Displays a chart of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) on the screen using Swing.

This method creates an application containing a chart panel displaying the chart. The created frame is positioned on-screen, and displayed before it is returned. The width and the height of the chart are measured in pixels.

Parameters

width	frame width in pixels
height	frame height in pixels

Returns

frame containing the chart

Definition at line 109 of file ContinuousDistChart.java.

viewDensity()

JFrame umontreal.ssj.charts.ContinuousDistChart.viewDensity	(	int	width,
		int	height )

Similar to viewCdf, but for the probability density instead of the cdf.

Parameters

width	frame width in pixels
height	frame height in pixels

Returns

frame containing the chart
