getBinValue(Object o) Gets a value to use in the computation of bins by a Histogram.

Method Detail

getBinValue

public double getBinValue(Object o)

Gets a value to use in the computation of bins by a Histogram. A Histogram is composed of and displays HistogramItems. The HistogramItem will iterate through a list of Objects and pass these Objects as arguments to this method. This method will return some double value used to calculate the height and value of the bins in the Histogram.

Parameters:

o - an object in the list passed from the HistogramItem.

Returns:
