Constructor Detail

RGElicitor

public RGElicitor(TrackedRepertoryGrid rg,
                  RGTableModel m)

General constructor for any elicitor.

Parameters:

rg - The grid to be elicited.

m - the table model for this grid; null if there isn't any

Method Detail

getTableModel

public RGTableModel getTableModel()

getHeaderComponent

public JComponent getHeaderComponent(RGDisplayWindow w)

Constructs a header component for some display window.

Parameters:

w - lets this elicitor know what window is controlling the component it is handing out.

Returns:

a header component which is managed by this elicitor instance.

fillInHeaders

private void fillInHeaders()

elicit

public abstract void elicit()

Perform whatever elicitation is called for by this technique, on the grid with which it was instantiated. Overridden in sub-classes to implement particular elicitation strategies.

resolveSimilarities

public void resolveSimilarities()

Looks for columns with identical values and queries for additional attributes that can differentiate them. If the grid is not complete, first calls fillInGridByQuery to complete it.

refreshHeaderPanel

protected void refreshHeaderPanel()

initializeHeaderPanel

private void initializeHeaderPanel()

queryNewAttribute

public String queryNewAttribute(String s)

Queries the user for a new attribute in the repertory grid. If it's a duplicate, a warning dialog appears. If it's valid, then it is added to the repertory grid.

Parameters:

s - hopefully helpful string appended to the prompt.

Returns:

the new attribute's label; null if user cancelled or it's a duplicate.

queryNewElement

public String queryNewElement(String s)

Queries the user for a new element in the repertory grid. If it's a duplicate, a warning dialog appears. If it's valid, then it is added to the repertory grid.

Parameters:

s - hopefully helpful string appended to the prompt.

Returns:

the new element's label; null if user cancelled or it's a duplicate.

fillInGridByQuery

public boolean fillInGridByQuery()

Queries a user to fill in values for the grid.
