Question

I’m trying to define an applet with a chart that have to be updated every n milliseconds.
For example every 500 milliseconds. This is a part of the code:

dataSet = new DynamicTimeSeriesCollection(1, 200, new Millisecond());
dataSet.setTimeBase(new Millisecond());

When I launch the application it returns me a NullPointerException raised by the second line. If I replace Milliseconds with Seconds it works.

The question is: how can I set a period of n milliseconds without having exceptions?

Thanks

It looks like pointsInTime is not being initialized for Millisecond, but you can do so in a subclass constructor:

private static class MilliDTSC extends DynamicTimeSeriesCollection {

    public MilliDTSC(int nSeries, int nMoments, RegularTimePeriod timeSample) {
        super(nSeries, nMoments, timeSample);
        if (timeSample instanceof Millisecond) {
            this.pointsInTime = new Millisecond[nMoments];
        }
    }
}
