This is a basic interactive GUI plotter.
You supply it with a fixed table to provide input data
and a single fixed plot surface type and layer type to define the
kind of plot to make, and it sets up a GUI to gather
the plot data and plot layer configuration.
It does this using the self-describing features of the
PlotType and
Plotter classes;
the code here does not need to understand any of the details of
particular plot types (scatter plots, histograms, 3d plots etc),
and it could be changed to present a different plot type by just
changing the supplied Plotter and/or PlotType, though some of
the subtleties that apply to only certain plot layers may be
skated over here.
As currently implemented, you need to hit the "Plot" button at the bottom of the window to (re)plot the data. This gives you a plot in the upper half which you can navigate around using the mouse.
It is definitely possible to fix it so that the replot happens
when any of the GUI controls is changed, rather than requiring
an explicit user replot action as shown here. In fact, much of
the plot2 infrastructure is designed with this in mind.
However, ensuring that gets done with maximal efficiency
(intelligent caching) requires some careful work.
See the class uk.ac.starlink.topcat.plot2.PlotPanel
from the TOPCAT application for an example of how to do it.
This class could fairly easily be adapted to plot multi-layer plots, for instance where the user assembles different layers from a menu of available Plotters.
A main method is supplied to run up this GUI
from the command line.
