# Example (JKQTPlotter): Vector Field Plot Example {#JKQTPlotterVectorFieldExample}
|
|
This project (see [`vectorfield`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/vectorfield) demonstrates the use of JKQTPVectorFieldGraph to visualize a vector field.
|
|
|
|
The source code of the main application is (see [`vectorfield.cpp`](https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/tree/master/examples/vectorfield/vectorfield.cpp).
|
|
|
|
Here is a short summary of the important parts of the code:
|
|
|
|
```.cpp
|
|
// 1. setup a plotter window and get a pointer to the internal datastore (for convenience)
|
|
JKQTPlotter plot;
|
|
JKQTPDatastore* ds=plot.getDatastore();
|
|
|
|
// 2. make up some arbitrary data to be used for plotting
|
|
// this generates a 2D grid of x/y-coordinates and then calculates dx=cos(y)*sqrt(x/3.0) and dy=sin(x)*sqrt(x/3.0)
|
|
const auto columnXY=ds->addLinearGridColumns(NX, 0, 6, NY, -3, 3,"x","y");
|
|
const auto columnDX=ds->addCalculatedColumnFromColumn(columnXY.first, columnXY.second, [](double x,double y) { return sin(y)*sqrt(x/3.0); });
|
|
const auto columnDY=ds->addCalculatedColumnFromColumn(columnXY.first, columnXY.second, [](double x,double y) { return cos(x)*sqrt(x/3.0); });
|
|
|
|
// 3. create JKQTPVectorFieldGraph to display the data:
|
|
JKQTPVectorFieldGraph* graph1=new JKQTPVectorFieldGraph(&plot);
|
|
graph1->setXYColumns(columnXY);
|
|
graph1->setDxColumn(columnDX);
|
|
graph1->setDyColumn(columnDY);
|
|
graph1->setTitle(QObject::tr("$\\vec{f}(x,y)=\\bigl[\\sin(y)\\cdot\\sqrt{x/3}, \\cos(x)\\cdot\\sqrt{x/3}\\bigr]^\\mathrm{T}$"));
|
|
|
|
// 4. add the graphs to the plot, so it is actually displayed
|
|
plot.addGraph(graph1);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the length of the drawn vector is determined from the actual length in the data via an autoscaling algorithm that is supposed to prevent the vectors from overlapping.
|
|
But you can modify this behaviour by adding a line
|
|
|
|
```.cpp
|
|
graph1->setVectorLengthMode(JKQTPVectorFieldGraph::LengthFromData);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which will use the given lengths directly (only scaled by an optional factor defined by JKQTPVectorFieldGraph::setLengthScaleFactor() ). The result then looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can also set
|
|
|
|
```.cpp
|
|
graph1->setVectorLengthMode(JKQTPVectorFieldGraph::IgnoreLength);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which will draw all vectors with the same length. You can scale this length by setting JKQTPVectorFieldGraph::setAutoscaleLengthFactor() ). The result then looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally it is also possibly to scale the vector's line width with its length:
|
|
|
|
```.cpp
|
|
graph1->setVectorLengthMode(JKQTPVectorFieldGraph::AutoscaleLength);
|
|
graph1->setVectorLineWidthMode(JKQTPVectorFieldGraph::AutoscaleLineWidthFromLength);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will result in a plot like this:
