public abstract class Source

extends java.lang.Object

An abstract class describing a single plot curve. Therefore, a gnuplot expression defining the function or data file for the gnuplot plot command has to be specified as well as the "title" of the curve.

Furthermore, the minimum and maximum value for the x-axis of this curve can be specified (for the mind.evalution.gnuplot.GnuPlot instance). By default, both values are 0, thus they are ignored.

This class has to be subclassed for specific application areas.
