ContourPlot.GenericKey (MIPAV API Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- gov.nih.mipav.model.algorithms.ContourPlot.GenericKey

Enclosing class:

ContourPlot
```
public class ContourPlot.GenericKey
extends java.lang.Object
```
The GenericKey class can be used as key in HashMaps when multiple objects should be combined to a single key. The hash key is then generated using Arrays.hashCode(Object[]) on the objects combined in this key.
This is for example used by the atlas collection in ContourPlot.CharacterAtlas where the attributes fontSize, style and antialiasing are used to lookup the correct atlas.
