[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (MATH-422) Constructor calls overrideable methods

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12978325#action_12978325 ]

---------------------------------------------------

The setters (in ComplexFormat) don't add any functionality to the class, because the constructor allows all the values to be set.
Rather than try to re-use the class with a different setting, just create a new instance of the class.
It has very little data, so won't require much storage.

The getters are potentially useful, as they allow access to the defaults.

I agree - the setters should be removed.

> The ctor MicrosphereInterpolator(int microsphereElements, int brightnessExponent) calls 2 public setters that are not final.
> This is unsafe if the class is ever extended.
> Likewise for ComplexFormat(String imaginaryCharacter, NumberFormat realFormat,  NumberFormat imaginaryFormat)
> Are the setters even needed?
