Detailed Description

A plottable representing a graph in a plot.

QCPGraph.png

Usually QCustomPlot creates graphs internally via QCustomPlot::addGraph and the resulting instance is accessed via QCustomPlot::graph.

To plot data, assign it with the setData or addData functions. Alternatively, you can also access and modify the graph's data via the data method, which returns a pointer to the internal QCPDataMap.

Graphs are used to display single-valued data. Single-valued means that there should only be one data point per unique key coordinate. In other words, the graph can't have loops. If you do want to plot non-single-valued curves, rather use the QCPCurve plottable.

Changing the appearance

The appearance of the graph is mainly determined by the line style, scatter style, brush and pen of the graph (setLineStyle, setScatterStyle, setBrush, setPen).

Filling under or between graphs

QCPGraph knows two types of fills: Normal graph fills towards the zero-value-line parallel to the key axis of the graph, and fills between two graphs, called channel fills. To enable a fill, just set a brush with setBrush which is neither Qt::NoBrush nor fully transparent.

By default, a normal fill towards the zero-value-line will be drawn. To set up a channel fill between this graph and another one, call setChannelFillGraph with the other graph as parameter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCPGraph::QCPGraph ( QCPAxis keyAxis,
QCPAxis valueAxis 
)
explicit

Constructs a graph which uses keyAxis as its key axis ("x") and valueAxis as its value axis ("y"). keyAxis and valueAxis must reside in the same QCustomPlot instance and not have the same orientation. If either of these restrictions is violated, a corresponding message is printed to the debug output (qDebug), the construction is not aborted, though.

The constructed QCPGraph can be added to the plot with QCustomPlot::addPlottable, QCustomPlot then takes ownership of the graph.

To directly create a graph inside a plot, you can also use the simpler QCustomPlot::addGraph function.

double QCPGraph::selectTest ( const QPointF &  pos,
bool  onlySelectable,
QVariant *  details = 0 
) const
virtual

This function is used to decide whether a click hits a layerable object or not.

pos is a point in pixel coordinates on the QCustomPlot surface. This function returns the shortest pixel distance of this point to the object. If the object is either invisible or the distance couldn't be determined, -1.0 is returned. Further, if onlySelectable is true and the object is not selectable, -1.0 is returned, too.

If the item is represented not by single lines but by an area like QCPItemRect or QCPItemText, a click inside the area returns a constant value greater zero (typically the selectionTolerance of the parent QCustomPlot multiplied by 0.99). If the click lies outside the area, this function returns -1.0.

Providing a constant value for area objects allows selecting line objects even when they are obscured by such area objects, by clicking close to the lines (i.e. closer than 0.99*selectionTolerance).

The actual setting of the selection state is not done by this function. This is handled by the parent QCustomPlot when the mouseReleaseEvent occurs, and the finally selected object is notified via the selectEvent/deselectEvent methods.

details is an optional output parameter. Every layerable subclass may place any information in details. This information will be passed to selectEvent when the parent QCustomPlot decides on the basis of this selectTest call, that the object was successfully selected. The subsequent call to selectEvent will carry the details. This is useful for multi-part objects (like QCPAxis). This way, a possibly complex calculation to decide which part was clicked is only done once in selectTest. The result (i.e. the actually clicked part) can then be placed in details. So in the subsequent selectEvent, the decision which part was selected doesn't have to be done a second time for a single selection operation.

You may pass 0 as details to indicate that you are not interested in those selection details.

Sets whether adaptive sampling shall be used when plotting this graph. QCustomPlot's adaptive sampling technique can drastically improve the replot performance for graphs with a larger number of points (e.g. above 10,000), without notably changing the appearance of the graph.

By default, adaptive sampling is enabled. Even if enabled, QCustomPlot decides whether adaptive sampling shall actually be used on a per-graph basis. So leaving adaptive sampling enabled has no disadvantage in almost all cases.

As can be seen, line plots experience no visual degradation from adaptive sampling. Outliers are reproduced reliably, as well as the overall shape of the data set. The replot time reduces dramatically though. This allows QCustomPlot to display large amounts of data in realtime.

Care must be taken when using high-density scatter plots in combination with adaptive sampling. The adaptive sampling algorithm treats scatter plots more carefully than line plots which still gives a significant reduction of replot times, but not quite as much as for line plots. This is because scatter plots inherently need more data points to be preserved in order to still resemble the original, non-adaptive-sampling plot. As shown above, the results still aren't quite identical, as banding occurs for the outer data points. This is in fact intentional, such that the boundaries of the data cloud stay visible to the viewer. How strong the banding appears, depends on the point density, i.e. the number of points in the plot.

For some situations with scatter plots it might thus be desirable to manually turn adaptive sampling off. For example, when saving the plot to disk. This can be achieved by setting enabled to false before issuing a command like QCustomPlot::savePng, and setting enabled back to true afterwards.

void QCPGraph::setChannelFillGraph ( QCPGraph targetGraph)

Sets the target graph for filling the area between this graph and targetGraph with the current brush (setBrush).

When targetGraph is set to 0, a normal graph fill to the zero-value-line will be shown. To disable any filling, set the brush to Qt::NoBrush.

void QCPGraph::setData ( QCPDataMap data,
bool  copy = false 
)

Replaces the current data with the provided data.

If copy is set to true, data points in data will only be copied. if false, the graph takes ownership of the passed data and replaces the internal data pointer with it. This is significantly faster than copying for large datasets.

Alternatively, you can also access and modify the graph's data via the data method, which returns a pointer to the internal QCPDataMap.

void QCPGraph::setErrorBarSize ( double  size)

Sets the width of the handles at both ends of an error bar in pixels.

Definition at line 15278 of file qcustomplot.cpp.

void QCPGraph::setErrorBarSkipSymbol ( bool  enabled)

If enabled is set to true, the error bar will not be drawn as a solid line under the scatter symbol but leave some free space around the symbol.

This feature uses the current scatter size (QCPScatterStyle::setSize) to determine the size of the area to leave blank. So when drawing Pixmaps as scatter points (QCPScatterStyle::ssPixmap), the scatter size must be set manually to a value corresponding to the size of the Pixmap, if the error bars should leave gaps to its boundaries.
