theOwner - an instance of VariableOrganizer class coordinates a set of variables with respect to number of data points available and the rows that are currently selected

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

Method Detail

fillWithParser

public void fillWithParser(DataFileParser aParser,
                           int varNum,
                           boolean firstRowAsLabels)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

fills the variable with individual datavalues read from a textfile using a DataFileParser object

Overrides:
