All Superinterfaces:
ExportableField
All Known Implementing Classes:
BaseFileExporterPlugin.ExtendedDynamicField, JepDynamicField, SimpleDynamicField

public interface DynamicField extends ExportableField
Represents a spot or reporter field that is going to be exported from a bioassay set. An implementation needs to provide the following information and services:
  • An Expression that is added to the selection list of a DynamicQuery.
  • A Formatter that is used to format the values that are selected by the expression before they are written to the file
  • A title that is used as a column header for the data
