Extending Analyzer class

[Joachim Wesner]

Hi list,

I was just wondering, is there an easy way to supplement the list if
measurements in the Analyzer class with own definitions and without
touching the main source code?

IMHO this would be a very useful feature!

I think "extending" from that class (in the OO sense) would not help here
much (!?), as it seems I would need to duplicate quite a bit of code of the
original Analyzer and if this is done,
can I overload the internal Plugin with mine so nothing else changes?

Thanx


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Joachim Wesner

The Analyzer class was not designed to be extendable but you can  
easily add custom measurements to the Results Table by using the  
ResultsTable.addValue(label, value) method or the setResult(label,  
row, value) macro function. There are examples at:
