Class HashNMap

    java.lang.Object
      org.jfree.util.HashNMap

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

    public class HashNMap

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

The HashNMap can be used to store multiple values by a single key value. The values stored can be retrieved using a direct query or by creating an enumeration over the stored elements.

Constructor Detail

### HashNMap

    public HashNMap()

  Default constructor.

Method Detail

### createList

    protected java.util.List createList()

  Returns a new empty list.

  Returns:
    A new empty list.

### put

    public boolean put(java.lang.Object key,
                       java.lang.Object val)

  Inserts a new key/value pair into the map. If such a pair already exists, it gets replaced with the given values.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `val` - the value.
  Returns:
    A boolean.

### add

    public boolean add(java.lang.Object key,
                       java.lang.Object val)

  Adds a new key/value pair into this map. If the key is not yet in the map, it gets added to the map and the call is equal to put(Object,Object).

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `val` - the value.
  Returns:
    true, if the value has been added, false otherwise

### getFirst

    public java.lang.Object getFirst(java.lang.Object key)

  Retrieves the first value registered for an key or null if there was no such key in the list.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
  Returns:
    the value.

### get

    public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key,
                                int n)

  Retrieves the n-th value registered for an key or null if there was no such key in the list. An index out of bounds exception is thrown if there are less than n elements registered to this key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `n` - the index.
  Returns:
    the object.

### getAll

    public java.util.Iterator getAll(java.lang.Object key)

  Returns an iterator over all elements registered to the given key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
  Returns:
    an iterator.

### keys

    public java.util.Iterator keys()

  Returns all registered keys as an enumeration.

  Returns:
    an enumeration of the keys.

### keySet

    public java.util.Set keySet()

  Returns all registered keys as set.

  Returns:
    a set of keys.

### remove

    public boolean remove(java.lang.Object key,
                          java.lang.Object value)

  Removes the key/value pair from the map. If the removed entry was the last entry for this key, the key gets also removed.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `value` - the value.
  Returns:
    true, if removing the element was successfull, false otherwise.

### removeAll

    public void removeAll(java.lang.Object key)

  Removes all elements for the given key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.

### clear

    public void clear()

  Clears all keys and values of this map.

### containsKey

    public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

  Tests whether this map contains the given key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
  Returns:
    true if the key is contained in the map

### containsValue

    public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)

  Tests whether this map contains the given value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the value.
  Returns:
    true if the value is registered in the map for an key.

### containsValue

    public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object key,
                                 java.lang.Object value)

  Tests whether this map contains the given value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the value.
    `key` - the key under which to find the value
  Returns:
    true if the value is registered in the map for an key.

### contains

    public boolean contains(java.lang.Object value)

  Tests whether this map contains the given key or value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - the value.
  Returns:
    true if the key or value is contained in the map

### clone

    public java.lang.Object clone()
                           throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

  Creates a deep copy of this HashNMap.

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    a clone.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException` - this should never happen.

### toArray

    public java.lang.Object[] toArray(java.lang.Object key,
                                      java.lang.Object[] data)

  Returns the contents for the given key as object array. If there were no objects registered with that key, an empty object array is returned.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `data` - the object array to receive the contents.
  Returns:
    the contents.

### toArray

    public java.lang.Object[] toArray(java.lang.Object key)

  Returns the contents for the given key as object array. If there were no objects registered with that key, an empty object array is returned.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
  Returns:
    the contents.

### getValueCount

    public int getValueCount(java.lang.Object key)

  Returns the number of elements registered with the given key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
