# Example (JKQTPlotter): Simple impulse plots {#JKQTPlotterImpulsePlots}
This project (see `./examples/impulsesplot/`) simply creates a JKQTPlotter widget (as a new window) and adds a single impulse graph.
The source code of the main application is (see [`impulsesplot.cpp`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/impulsesplot/impulsesplot.cpp).
First data for a curve is calculated and stored in `QVector<double>`:
```.cpp
QVector<double> X, Y;
for (int i=0; i<Ndata; i++) {
const double xx=double(i)/double(Ndata)*6.0*M_PI;
X << xx;
Y << cos(xx)*exp(-xx/10.0);
}
```
... and finally the data is copied into the datastore
```.cpp
size_t columnX=ds->addCopiedColumn(X, "x");
size_t columnY=ds->addCopiedColumn(Y, "y");
```
Now an impulse graph object is generated and added to the plot:
```.cpp
JKQTPImpulsesVerticalGraph* graph=new JKQTPImpulsesVerticalGraph(&plot);
graph->setXColumn(columnX);
graph->setYColumn(columnY);
graph->setLineWidth(2);
graph->setColor(QColor("red"));
graph->setTitle(QObject::tr("$\\cos(x)\\cdot\\exp(-x/10)$"));
plot.addGraph(graph);
```
The result looks like this:
![impulsesplot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/impulsesplot.png)
There is an alternative class `JKQTPImpulsesHorizontalGraph` which draws horizontal impulse plots:
```.cpp
JKQTPImpulsesHorizontalGraph* graph=new JKQTPImpulsesHorizontalGraph(&plot);
graph->setYColumn(columnX);
graph->setXColumn(columnY);
graph->setLineWidth(2);
graph->setColor(QColor("blue"));
graph->setTitle(QObject::tr("$\\cos(x)\\cdot\\exp(-x/10)$"));
```
This code snippet results in a plot like this:
![impulsesplot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/impulsesplot_horizontal.png)
The classes `JKQTPImpulsesVerticalGraph` and `JKQTPImpulsesHorizontalGraph` also provide the ability to draw a symbol at the end of the impulse, e.g. using this code:
```.cpp
graph->setDrawSymbols(true);
graph->setSymbolType(JKQTPGraphSymbols::JKQTPFilledStar);
```
This code snippet results in a plot like this:
![impulsesplot_symbols](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/impulsesplot_symbols.png)
Finally you can move the baseline (i.e. the level, where the impulses start, which is typically x=0 or y=0) in the classes `JKQTPImpulsesVerticalGraph` and `JKQTPImpulsesHorizontalGraph`:
```.cpp
graph->setBaseline(0.25);
```
This code snippet results in a plot like this:
![impulsesplot_baseline](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/master/screenshots/impulsesplot_baseline.png)
