NAME
Lire::Group - Base class for implementation of the rangegroup aggregatorSYNOPSIS
use Lire::Rangegroup;
DESCRIPTION
This module is the base class for implementation of the rangegroup aggregator. This aggregator will split the DLF records based on a numerical field. The so-called range groups creates numerical classes (e.g. 1-10, 11-20, etc.) and the DLF record will be grouped with other records which are in the same class.CONSTRUCTOR
new( %params )
Creates a new instance of a group aggregator. In addition to the normal report operator parameters, the rangegroup aggregator can take several parameters:- field
- This parameter is mandatory. It should be the name of the DLF field which will be used as key for this aggregator.
- range-size
- This parameter is mandatory. This will be used as the size of each range group.
- range-start
- The number at which the first range group starts. Defauls to 0.
- min-value
- Value lower than this number will be sorted in the first range group.
- max-value
- Value higher than this number will be sorted in the last range group.
- size-scale
- This parameter can be used to create a logarithmic scale. In this case, each new range group will be size-scale bigger than the one that comes before it. For example, setting range-size=5 and size-scale=2 will create ranges like [0-5>, [5-15>, [15-35>, ...
METHODS
field( [$new_field] )
Returns the name of the DLF field which is used as grouping key.If the $new_field parameter is set, it changes the grouping field. This must be the name of a quantity type field in the report specifications DLF schema.
range_start( [$new_start] )
Returns the number which is the starting bound of the first range group.If the $new_start parameter is set, it changes the starting bound of the first range group. This should either be a positive integer or the name of one of the report specification's parameter.
range_size( [$new_size] )
Returns the width of each range group.If the $new_size parameter is set, it changes the width of each range group. This should either be a positive integer or the name of one of the report specification's parameter.
min_value( [$new_min] )
Returns the number below which no new range groups will be created.If the $new_min is set, it changes the lower bound below which no new groups will be created. This should either be a number or the name of one of the report specification's parameter.
max_value( [$new_max] )
Returns the number above which no new range groups will be created.If the $new_max is set, it changes the upper bound above which no new groups will be created. This should either be a number or the name of one of the report specification's parameter.
size_scale( [$new_size_scale] )
Returns the multiplier that will be apply to each of the range group's width after the first one.When this attribute is greater than 1, it creates a logarithmic scale where each new ranges is $size_scale wider than the precedent one.
If the $new_size_scale parameter is used, it changes the attribute to this new value. It should be a positive interger or can also be a parameter reference.
