Re: wxFreeChart - Request for Opinions

I have created a branch in Github https://github.com/iwbnwif/wxFreeChart/tree/remove_fire for getting rid of the Fire mechanism. The aim is to restore the functionality of the demos only using wxEvent. AFAIK that is only: Dynamic data Scrolling windows That is exactly what i did when i added "i...

Re: wxFreeChart - Request for Opinions

I am joining in as i would really like to participate in adding features and modernizing it. That's great, thanks! The "FIRE" events do really bother me and honestly i dont understand how they work or why they are there since wxWidgets offers a better event mechanism that we could impleme...

Re: Executables with wxFreeChart running in 64 bits mode

Hi, I found the same problem with wxWidgets 3.1.

I uploaded a new version of the makefile.gcc here:

wxFreeChart - Request for Opinions

I am working on some updates to a cloned version of wxFreeChart (the original is on wxCode). This isn’t going to be a too major overhaul as I will be ‘time boxing’ :), but I hope to fix some bugs and make some significant improvements. My main aims are: Improve the Doxygen documentation 'Modernise’ ...

Re: Storing a wxVector of derived classes

Okay, so I think I found the magic incantation needed to get this to work 8) If I have a base and derived class like this: class Foo { public: Foo(int a) { A = a; std::cout << "Foo ctor: A=" << A << std::endl; } // Very important for dtor to be virtual. Google "When is a virtual destr...

Re: Storing a wxVector of derived classes

I understand that it would probably be best to use the STL and would do in my own application. But for this time I would prefer to keep the same requirements as the main wxWidgets framework if possible. But if you still want to keep the same requirements as wxW you can use std::vector with wxXXXPtr....

Re: Best way to parse HTML data

There is some documentation here, although it is for a derived class.

Re: Storing a wxVector of derived classes

Thank you PB and Catalin for the replies.

My main reason for avoiding STL in this case is so not to have a dependency on C++11 to build the library.

Storing a wxVector of derived classes

I am working on some updates to the wxFreeChart library. The library includes datasets and data series. A dataset is basically a container for related data series, where a data series is essentially a sequence of data points to be graphed. I would like to refactor the dataset implementation to use a...

Re: Auto-Update System

Hi, Whichway did you go? Any challenges met? Unfortunately I had to take a sabbatical from software development so never got chance to use these in anger. From memory, webupdate had some compile problems, but I got it to roughly work in the end. On the otherhand, winsparkle 'just worked'. Also, it i...

Re: Freechart 1.6

First there is no easy way to change the data in a dataset, at least that I have found. And the instance variable for the data is private to the class. I am not sure about exactly how the license work, but this makes it difficult to just replace the data in the dataset. If the instance variable was...

Re: Freechart 1.6

Hi, I got a chart to draw by including the src and include directories into my project. This is not for production use, it is just a tool so although it is cumbersome, it works. Glad you got it to work. I haven't played with the build files at all, but instead have a separate project setup in Codeli...

GNU Radio - OpenGL Charting

I still think that wxFreeChart is the way forward for wxWidgets charting and feel sorry that I haven't had time to work on it at all :oops: I have been working on other (non-software) projects and stumbled across GNU Radio https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio. Interestingly it offers both Qt and wxW...

Re: wxEVT_SHOW not fired on Top Level Window creation

Just in case - check that it is the same on all 3 major platforms.
Sorry for the delay. I have just checked under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the behaviour is the same as on MSW.

Unfortunately I can't check on OSX.
