Waterloo Scientific Graphics: Groovy

Anatomy of a Waterloo graph

While graphs can be added to any Swing container, they are normally housed in a special graph container - an instance of the GJGraphContainer class.

The GJGraphContainer provides support for titles and axes outside of the main plotting area provided by the graph.
The "view" is the graph - an instance of the GJGraph class - with grids and individual plots. Plots can exist as properties of one graph only because they inherit some properties from the graph e.g. a transform object for logarithmic plotting.

The diagrams below show the class diagrams of the GJGraphContainer and GJGraph. GJGraph UML
