Interface PlotControls

All Known Implementing Classes:

AxesControls, AxisLabelControls, AxisNumLabControls, BorderControls, ComponentColourControls, GraphicsEdgesControls, GraphicsHintsControls, GridControls, StringsControls, TickControls, TitleControls

public interface PlotControls

Interface for a set of controls that may be added to a PlotConfigurator tabbed pane. The class that implements this interface should be a sub-class of a JComponent, or return a reference to a sub-class so that it can be added and realized in a JPanel (the tabbed pane parent).

It is expected that such a pane of controls relate to the configuration of an AST Plot.
