Class Translate

public class Translate

extends java.lang.Object

Determines how to translate one Data type to another. Note that this class represents the default implementations of translation methods, which may need rewriting. Some translations are application specific and so must be defined by the application developer. Subclass this class in order to modify the translation methods.

The PTK only uses the methods converting from any data type to a number (used in NotificationSetter).
