This section assembles some simple examples of usage. You can find more (complex) examples for the classes in this repository in the subfolder "test". All test-projects are Qt-projects that use qmake to build. You can load them into QtCreator easily.
This project (see `./test/jkqtplotter_simpletest/`) simply creates a JKQtPlotter widget (as a new window) and adds a single line-graph (a sine-wave). Data is initialized from two QVector<double> objects.
This project (see `./test/jkqtplotter_simpletest_symbols_and_errors/`) simply creates a JKQtPlotter widget (as a new window) and adds a single line-graph (a sine-wave) that has y-errorbars. In addition, this example shows how to change some of the axis properties and how to use LaTeX markup to format axis labels (can actually be used for all labels in JKQtPlotter). Also, in comparison to the last example, here we initialize the data from C-type arrays (double*), instead of QVector<double> objects.
The soruce code of the main application is (see `./test/jkqtplotter_simpletest_symbols_and_errors/jkqtplotter_simpletest_symbols_and_errors.cpp`):
```c++
#include <QApplication>
#include "jkqtplotter.h"
// number of datapoints:
#define Ndata 10
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
// 1. create a plotter window and get a pointer to the internal datastore (for convenience)
JKQtPlotter plot;
JKQTPdatastore* ds=plot.getDatastore();
// 2. now we create data for a simple plot (a sine curve with lin. increasing errors)
double X[Ndata], Y[Ndata], YERROR[Ndata];
for (int i=0; i<Ndata;i++){
X[i]=double(i)/double(Ndata)*2.0*M_PI;
Y[i]=sin(X[i]);
YERROR[i]=0.2+double(i)/double(Ndata)*0.25;
}
// 3. make data available to JKQtPlotter by adding it to the internal datastore.
// Note: In this step the data is copied (of not specified otherwise), so you can
// reuse X and Y afterwards!
// the variables columnX and columnY will contain the internal column ID of the newly
// created columns with names "x" and "y" and the (copied) data from X and Y.

You can plot C-arrays as images in different color-coding styles. Diferent Overlays/masks are also available. Finally you can use LaTeX markup to format any axis/plot/tick/... label. there is an internal LaTeX parser in this package.
Scatter Plots can have symbols where the shape/color/size is parametrized by a data column. Also the plotter is built around an internal datastore, which you can access (readonly!!!) by a data-viewer that is accessible from the contextmenu in any plot.
JKQTmathText is a hand-written LaTeX-renderer for Qt (implemented in native C++, using Qt). It supports a large set of standard LaTeX markup and can render it to a QPainter.
This project (see `./test/jkqtmathtext_simpletest/`) simply creates a QLabel (as a new window) that displays a rendered LaTeX equation (here the time-dependent Schr<68>dinger equation).
The QMake project looks like this (see `./test/jkqtmathtext_simpletest/jkqtmathtext_simpletest.pro`):
```qmake
# include JKQTmathText source-code, including the open-source XITS fonts
include(../../jkqtmathtext_with_xits.pri)
SOURCES += jkqtmathtext_simpletest.cpp
# if you don't want to use the XITS fonts, use this line (and uncomment the
