# Example (JKQTPlotter): Step Line Plots in Different Styles {#JKQTPlotterSpecialStepLinePlot}
|
|
This project (see `./examples/stepplots/`) 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.
|
|
|
|
The source code of the main application can be found in [`stepplots.cpp`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/stepplots/stepplots.cpp). For the most part, several datasets of cosine-curves are generated. Then graphs of type `JKQTPSpecialLineHorizontalGraph` are added to the plot:
|
|
|
|
```.cpp
|
|
// 3 now we make several plots with different step styles, each one also contains a
|
|
// symbol plot indicating the location of the datapoints themselves
|
|
JKQTPSpecialLineHorizontalGraph* graph;
|
|
|
|
//-- JKQTPStepLeft ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
graph=new JKQTPSpecialLineHorizontalGraph(&plot);
|
|
|
|
// set data for the graph
|
|
graph->setXColumn(columnX);
|
|
graph->setYColumn(columnY1);
|
|
|
|
// set step style
|
|
graph->setSpecialLineType(JKQTPStepLeft);
|
|
graph->setLineWidth(1);
|
|
graph->setFillCurve(true);
|
|
graph->setDrawLine(true);
|
|
graph->setTitle("JKQTPStepLeft, filled");
|
|
|
|
// enable symbols
|
|
graph->setDrawSymbols(true);
|
|
graph->setSymbolType(JKQTPGraphSymbols::JKQTPCircle);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Note that you can configure the step type (left/center/right by `graph->setSpecialLineType(JKQTPStepLeft)`. With `graph->setFillCurve(true)` you can draw the curve filled until the y=0-axis and with `graph->setDrawLine(true)` you can switch the line along the values on and off (e.g. to only have the filled area, but no line). With `graph->setDrawSymbols(true)` you can switch on drawing of symbols at the location of the data points.
|
|
|
|
... and all graphs are added to the plot:
|
|
```.cpp
|
|
// add the graphs to the plot, so it is actually displayed
|
|
plot.addGraph(graph);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In addition to the symbol type and line style, you can also alter the size of the symbols (`graph->setSymbolSize(14)`), the line-width used to draw them (`graph->setSymbolLineWidth(1.5)`) and the line width of the graph line (`graph->setLineWidth(1)`). If you want to switch off the line altogether, use `graph->setDrawLine(false`.
|
|
|
|
The result looks like this:

|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use `` instead of the horizontal variant `` and exchange x- for y-data, you will get a plot like this:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Also note how the red graph is filled towards the y-axis, not the x-axis.
