### KeyedObjects

    public KeyedObjects()

  Creates a new collection (initially empty).

Method Detail

### getItemCount

    public int getItemCount()

  Returns the number of items (values) in the collection.

  Returns:
    the item count.

### getObject

    public java.lang.Object getObject(int item)

  Returns an object.

  Parameters:
    `item` - the item index (zero-based).
  Returns:
    The object (`null` if the index is out of range).

### getKey

    public java.lang.Comparable getKey(int index)

  Returns a key.

  Parameters:
    `index` - the item index (zero-based).
  Returns:
    the row key.

### getIndex

    public int getIndex(java.lang.Comparable key)

  Returns the index for a given key.

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

### getKeys

    public java.util.List getKeys()

  Returns the keys.

  Returns:
    the keys.

### getObject

    public java.lang.Object getObject(java.lang.Comparable key)

  Returns the object for a given key. If the key is not recognised, the method should return `null`.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
  Returns:
    The object (possibly `null`).

### addObject

    public void addObject(java.lang.Comparable key,
                          java.lang.Object object)

  This is the same as the setObject(...) method.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `object` - the object.

### setObject

    public void setObject(java.lang.Comparable key,
                          java.lang.Object object)

  Replaces an existing object, or adds a new object to the collection.

  This is the same as the addObject(...) method.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `object` - the object.

### removeValue

    public void removeValue(int index)

  Removes a value from the collection.

  Parameters:
    `index` - the index of the item to remove.

### removeValue

    public void removeValue(java.lang.Comparable key)

  Removes a value from the collection.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key of the item to remove.

### clone

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

  Returns a clone of this object.

  Specified by:
    `clone` in interface `org.jfree.util.PublicCloneable`
