Description

The CoordArrTable object is used to describe X/Y coordinate data to the HLU library. It is usually used in combination with the XyPlot object.

The CoordArrTable object uses two "tables" to do this: the ctXTable and the ctYTable. These "table" resources are actually arrays of arrays. The main array points to something of type **var where type is specified by the ctXTableType and ctYTableType resources. The easiest way to understand this is to think about the table as an array of vectors. Therefore, the "type" for the ctXTable and ctYTable NhlGenArray is NhlPointer, because each element of the NhlGenArray array is actually a pointer to a vector. Each element of each vector is of type ctXTableType, and ctYTableType respectively. The ctXTableType and ctYTableType resources must be set for their respective "Table" resource.

The Min and Max resources are computed if they are not set explicitly. If the ctXTable or ctYTable resources are reset to new values, the Min and Max values are recomputed unless the Min and Max values have been explicitly set by the user. If these resources are ever set, the programmer/user is taking responsibility for updating them if they need to be updated.


Support functions

There are no support functions for the CoordArrTable object, although all the support functions that are available for the DataItem class are available. Additionally, some of the DataComm functions are used with DataItem objects.
