Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
Continuous This literal means that the value stored by an Entry must be within the range of values specified by the allowedValues array for that Entry.
Discrete This literal means that the Value stored by an Entry must equal one of the values stored in the allowedValues array for that Entry.
Executable This literal implies that the Entry is used in a form for specifying an executable on the file system.
File This literal means the Entry is used in a form for specifying some sort of file (such as an input file).
Undefined This literal means that the Entry is used in an undefined form where the value is and should be treated as a simple string.

Enum Constant Detail

Discrete

public static final VizAllowedValueType Discrete

This literal means that the Value stored by an Entry must equal one of the values stored in the allowedValues array for that Entry.

Continuous

public static final VizAllowedValueType Continuous

This literal means that the value stored by an Entry must be within the range of values specified by the allowedValues array for that Entry.

File

public static final VizAllowedValueType File

This literal means the Entry is used in a form for specifying some sort of file (such as an input file). The value of the entry will be a filename, and the list of allowedValues will be files in the workspace.

Executable

public static final VizAllowedValueType Executable

This literal implies that the Entry is used in a form for specifying an executable on the file system. The value of the Entry will be a URI represented as a string, and the list of allowedValues will be previously selected executables.

Undefined

public static final VizAllowedValueType Undefined

This literal means that the Entry is used in an undefined form where the value is and should be treated as a simple string.

Method Detail

values

public static VizAllowedValueType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (VizAllowedValueType c : VizAllowedValueType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static VizAllowedValueType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
