JKQTPlotter - A Qt Plotting Library

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) or above.

Main Features

• 2D Plotter class (JKQTPlotter)
  • high-quality plotting
  • no other dependencies than Qt >=4.7 (compatible with Qt 5.xx)
  • highly customizable axes/grids (linear/log, date/time, custom ticks ...)
  • integrated LaTeX parser (pure C++, no dependencies) to render mathematical equations in axis labels, ticks, ...
  • extensive user-interactions pre-programmed (several zooming modes, selecting regions, custom context menus, switch graph visibility, ...)
  • full print and export (PDF,PNG,...) support with preview and parametrization out-the-box
  • highly customizable look and feel
  • supports the Qt layout system for graphs and allows to symchronize several graphs with each other
• centralized data management in an internal datastore:
  • data organized by columns, can also represent image data (ropw-major)
  • allows to reuse a column in several graphs
  • access via Qt's model view framework
  • external or internal datasets
  • complete with GUI (table view)
  • export capabilities (e.g. to CSV, SYLK, ...)
  • C++ standard iterator interface
  • statistics library (basic statistics, boxplots, histograms, kernel density estimates, regression analysis, polynomial fitting)
• large variety of graphs that can be added to a plot, e.g.:
  • scatter-plots (also parametrized color/size/symbol by a third data-column)
  • line graphs, step graphs, impulses
  • filled curves
  • barcharts (also stacked)
  • extensive support for different styles of error indicators
  • integrated mathematical function parser for function plots (with intelligent rendering algorithm)
  • line/scatter graphs can also be based on C/C++ functions instead of data series (C++11 support!)
  • statistical plots (e.g. boxplots)
  • extensive library of image plots (inclusing different color-scale modes, RGBA-plots, overlays/masks)
  • contour plots
  • geometric forms/annotations
  • can be easily extended by deriving a new graph from JKQTPPlotElement or JKQTPPlotObject
• optional: OpenCV interface
• extensive set of Examples/Tutorials
• extensive doxygen-generated Documentation

Documentation

A Documentation (auto-)generated with doxygen from the trunk source code can be found here: http://jkriege2.github.io/JKQTPlotter/index.html

Documentation is auto-generated after pushes by Travis:

Examples

There is a large set of usage examples (with explanations for each) and tutorials in the folder ./examples/. All test-projects are Qt-projects that use qmake to build. You can load them into QtCreator easily.

Screenshots

The Screenshots-page contains several screenshots, partly taken from the provided examples, but also from other software using this libarary (e.g. QuickFit 3.0)

Building

Building instructions can be found here:

• include necessary files into QMake project: ./lib/*.pri
• build a static library: ./staticlib/*.pro
• build a shared library (DLL, SO, ...): ./sharedlib/*.pro
