# JKQtPlotter
This is an extensive library of function/data plotter classes for Qt (>= 4.7, tested with Qt up to 5.11).
This software is licensed under the term of the [GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1
(LGPL 2.1)](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/blob/master/LICENSE) or above.
## Continuous Integration Status
[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jkriege2/jkqtplotter/branch/master)
## Screenshots
[Screenshots directory](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/screenshots)
## Building
Building instructions can be found here:
- include necessary files into QMake project: [`./lib/*.pri`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/lib)
- build a static library: [`./staticlib/*.pro`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/staticlib)
- build a shared library (DLL): [`./sharedlib/*.pro`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/sharedlib)
## Examples
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.
