Class SynthGroups

java.lang.Object
org.gsusers.gsmv.steps.SynthGroups
public class SynthGroups extends Object
SynthGroup manages the generation of synthetic data sets by taking the user step-by-step through the whole procedure from entering the project summary to writing the resulting data file. Altogether there are 9 steps, and proceeding to the next step is only possible after 'grammatically' correct input. At each step a context specific help screen is available. As result of the user responses at a given step, the entered data are stored, and the GUI scene for the next step is generated, and handed via 'main' back to the GUI. Users can step through the synthesis either manually, by entering the design information via keyboard and mouse, or they can pick the 'do-over' mode, where the program reads a control file, prepared in a previous synthesis run. The user just has to enter changes.

    javafx.scene.Group
    getGroup()
    This method uses the java 'switch/case' construct to make sure that it constructs the correct scene for a given step, based on the data entered previously.
    javafx.scene.Group
    setSampleSize()
    G_String cycles through 'setSampleSize' until all the sample sizes for all facets (in hierarchical order) have been collected, when the variable 'bDawdle' turns to 'false'.

    • getGroup

      public javafx.scene.Group getGroup()
      This method uses the java 'switch/case' construct to make sure that it constructs the correct scene for a given step, based on the data entered previously. This scene is then handed back to 'main' that passes it to the GUI. The 'popup' call at each step collects ongoing status information, that can be optionally fed to a log file for diagnostic use. At each step 'getGroup' returns a JavaFX Group object, constructed as result of the cumulative information entered. The 'Group' goes to 'Main', where it is packaged into a JavaFX 'Scene', which is then handed to the 'rootLayoutController'. Some steps can generate their 'Group' directly, others need the assistance of further methods contained in this package
      Returns:
      Group essentially the 'Scene' to be sent to the GUI

    • setSampleSize

      public javafx.scene.Group setSampleSize()
      G_String cycles through 'setSampleSize' until all the sample sizes for all facets (in hierarchical order) have been collected, when the variable 'bDawdle' turns to 'false'. The actual form is constructed as 'getPage' within 'SampleSizeTree', where the sample sizes are being stored as well.
      Returns:
      Group essentially the 'Scene' for setting sample sizes entry to be sent to the GUI
