getTypeFormatter

public static Formatter<?> getTypeFormatter(SessionControl sc,
                                            Type type)

Get a formatter suitable for displaying values of the given type. If type is FLOAT or DOUBLE a getNumberFormatter(SessionControl) is returned. If type is LONG or INT a getIntFormatter(SessionControl) is returned. If type is STRING or TEXT a getStringFormatter(SessionControl) is returned. If type is DATE a getDateFormatter(SessionControl) is returned. If type is BOOLEAN a getBooleanFormatter(SessionControl) is returned. Otherwise null is returned.

Parameters:

sc - The logged in user's session control

type - The type to get a formatter for

Returns:

A formatter or null if no suitable formatter could be found

getExtendedPropertyFormatter

public static Formatter<?> getExtendedPropertyFormatter(SessionControl sc,
                                                        ExtendedProperty ep)

Get a formatter for an extended property. This formatter will check the ExtendedProperty.getUrl(Object) if the property value should be linked and create a link if needed. The actual value is formatted by creating a formatter based on the type of the extended property using the getTypeFormatter(SessionControl, Type) method.

Parameters:

sc - The logged in user's session control

ep - The extended property

Returns:

A formatter for the extended property

See Also:

ExtendedPropertyFormatter

getColorFormatter

public static Formatter<Number> getColorFormatter(SessionControl sc,
                                                  Coloring coloring,
                                                  Formatter<Number> valueFormatter)

Get a formatter that adds a color box to the display which is a visual representation of the value. A ColorGenerator is created based on the Coloring information. The color generator is used to create the color for a specific value. The value is formatted by the supplied formatter and is not affected by the color formatter. If the Coloring.isUsingColors() returns false no color formatter is created and the orginal formatter is returned.

Parameters:

sc - The logged in user's session control

coloring - The coloring object that keeps information about how to generate colors

valueFormatter - A formatter for the actual values

Returns:

A formatter that adds color to the values

getAnnotationFormatter

public static Formatter<?> getAnnotationFormatter(SessionControl sc,
                                                  Annotation a,
                                                  Unit unit)

Get a formatter for nice formatting of annotation values, including units. A base formatter is created by getTypeFormatter(SessionControl, Type) using the value type of the annotation. This formatter is wrapped by a PrefixSuffixFormatter if a unit is supplied or the annotation has a unit.

Parameters:

sc - The logged in user's session control

a - The annotation to get a formatter for

unit - The unit, or null to use the unit from the annotation (Annotation.getUnit().

Returns:

A formatter object

getFormulaFormatter

public static Formatter<?> getFormulaFormatter(SessionControl sc,
                                               Formula formula)

Get a formatter that knows how to format results from formulas. This method uses the value type of the formula (Formula.getValueType()) and getTypeFormatter(SessionControl, Type) to create the basic formatter. If the formula is numerical and uses coloring information the formatter is wrapped in a color formatter getColorFormatter(SessionControl, Coloring, Formatter). If the value type of the formula can't be determined a ToStringFormatter is used.

Parameters:

sc - The logged in user's session control

formula - The formula

Returns:

A formatter object
