Example (JKQTPlotter): Step Line Plots in Different Styles
This project (see ./examples/simpletest_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 objects.
The source code of the main application can be found in jkqtplotter_simpletest_stepplots.cpp. For the most part, several datasets of cosine-curves are generated. then thrre tuples of graphs are added: One of type JKQTPXYLineGraph, which simply indicates the location of the actual datapoints. the second is of type JKQTPStepHorizontalGraph, which adds the step-graph to the plot:
// 3 now we make several plots with different step styles, each one also contains a
// symbol plot indicating the location of the datapoints themselves
JKQTPStepHorizontalGraph* graph;
JKQTPXYLineGraph* graphL;
//-- JKQTPStepLeft ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
graph=new JKQTPStepHorizontalGraph(&plot);
graphL=new JKQTPXYLineGraph(&plot);
// set data for both graphs
graph->set_xColumn(columnX); graphL->set_xColumn(graph->get_xColumn());
graph->set_yColumn(columnY1); graphL->set_yColumn(graph->get_yColumn());
// set step style
graph->set_stepType(JKQTPStepLeft);
graph->set_lineWidth(1);
graph->set_fillCurve(true);
graph->set_drawLine(true);
graph->set_title("JKQTPStepLeft, filled");
Note that you can configure the step type (left/center/right by graph->set_stepType(JKQTPStepLeft). With graph->set_fillCurve(true) you can draw the curve filled until the y=0-axis and with graph->set_drawLine(true) you can switch the line along the values on and off (e.g. to only have the filled area, but no line).
Finally the JKQTPXYLineGraph is configured:
// set symbol + pen style and color for the added circles, copy color
graphL->set_symbol(JKQTPGraphSymbols::JKQTPCircle);
graphL->set_drawLine(false);
graphL->set_symbolSize(9);
graphL->set_symbolWidth(1);
graphL->set_color(graph->get_color());
... and all graphs are added to the plot:
// add the graphs to the plot, so it is actually displayed
plot.addGraph(graph);
plot.addGraph(graphL);
In addition to the symbol type and line style, you can also alter the size of the symbols (graph->set_symbolSize(14)), the line-width used to draw them (graph->set_symbolWidth(1.5)) and the line width of the graph line (graph->set_lineWidth(1)). If you want to switch off the line altogether, use graph->set_drawLine(false.
The result looks like this:
