How to draw different symbols with wxPlotCtrl Topic is solved

[orbitcowboy]

<!-- --><!-- -->Hi,

i am playing around with wxPlotCtrl. I want to plot different symbols in one plot.

I have the following situation:

Code: Select all

	m_pPlotData[HIT]->SetXValue(static_cast<int>(m_dx),m_dx);
    m_pPlotData[HIT]->SetYValue(static_cast<int>(m_dx),cos(m_dx));


    if(m_pPlotData[HIT]->Ok())
	{

			wxGenericPen pen(wxColour(255,0,0,0), 1 ,wxSOLID , wxCAP_ROUND, wxJOIN_ROUND);
			//wxPen symb_pen(wxColour(255,0,0,0), 1, wxSOLID);
			//wxBrush symb_brush(wxColour(0,255,0),wxSOLID);
			m_pPlotCtrl->AddCurve(m_pPlotData[HIT], false, false); 
		  	m_pPlotCurve = m_pPlotCtrl->GetCurve(m_pPlotCtrl->GetCurveCount()-1);
		    m_pPlotCurve->SetPen( wxPLOTPEN_NORMAL,pen);
		    m_pPlotCtrl->AddCurve(m_pPlotCurve, true, true);
		    m_pPlotCtrl->Redraw(wxPLOTCTRL_REDRAW_PLOT);
		
	}


	m_pPlotData[VERIFIED_HIT]->SetXValue(static_cast<int>(m_dx),m_dx);
    m_pPlotData[VERIFIED_HIT]->SetYValue(static_cast<int>(m_dx),-cos(m_dx));

    if(m_pPlotData[VERIFIED_HIT]->Ok())
	{
			wxGenericPen pen(wxColour(0,0,255,0), 1 ,wxSOLID , wxCAP_ROUND, wxJOIN_ROUND);
			m_pPlotCtrl->AddCurve(m_pPlotData[VERIFIED_HIT], false, false); 
			m_pPlotCurve = m_pPlotCtrl->GetCurve(m_pPlotCtrl->GetCurveCount()-1);
			m_pPlotCurve->SetPen( wxPLOTPEN_NORMAL,pen);
			m_pPlotCtrl->AddCurve(m_pPlotCurve, true, true);
			m_pPlotCtrl->Redraw(wxPLOTCTRL_REDRAW_PLOT);
		
	}

all points are plotted well, but with the same symbol ("a circle"). Is it possible to use symbols like crosses or rectangles? Has anybody done that allready?

Thanks in advance

I'm sure it's possible to do it, but you would need to modify the sources yourself. Currently it only draws circles.

Thanks for the answer. I will keep you posted when i have found out...

Hey friends,

i found it!
in file plotdraw.cpp at line 954:

Code: Select all

            if (draw_symbols && !WXPC_HASBIT(clipped, ClippedSecond) &&
                ((i0 != i1) || (j0 != j1) || (n == min_sel) || (n == n_start)))
            {
                //dc->DrawBitmap( bitmap, i1 - bitmapHalfWidth, j1 - bitmapHalfHeight, true );
                wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_ELLIPSE(dc, window, pen, i1, j1, 1, 1);
	    }			

if replaced the wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_ELLPISE(...)-macro by a own written

Code: Select all

	// Rectangles are drawn with  gdk_draw_rectangle()
	// The filled argument indicates whether to fill the rectangle; TRUE  means to fill it.
	// #include <gdk/gdk.h>
	// void gdk_draw_rectangle(GdkDrawable* drawable, GdkGC* gc, gint filled, gint x, gint y, gint width, gint height);
    #define wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_RECTANGLE(dc, win, pen, x0, y0, w, h) \
        if (win && pen) \
            gdk_draw_rectangle( win, pen, true, x0, y0, w, h);  \
        else \
            dc->DrawRectangle(x0, y0, w, h);
            

Now, each datapoint is represended by a rectangle.

here how to draw other symbols:
+,x , *

Code: Select all

	/// Draw a plus symbol
	#define wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_PLUS(dc, win, pen, x0, y0, w, h)\
			wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_LINE(dc, win, pen, (x0-w/2), y0, (x0+w/2), y0)\
			wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_LINE(dc, win, pen,  x0, (y0-h/2), x0, (y0+h/2))

	/// Draw a cross symbol
	#define wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_CROSS(dc, win, pen, x0, y0, w, h)\
			wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_LINE(dc, win, pen, (x0-w/2), (y0+h/2), (x0+w/2), (y0-h/2))\
			wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_LINE(dc, win, pen, (x0-w/2), (y0-h/2), (x0+w/2), (y0+h/2))
           
	/// Draw a star symbol
	#define wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_STAR(dc, win, pen, x0, y0, w, h)\
			wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_PLUS(dc, win, pen, x0, y0, w, h)\
			wxPLOTCTRL_DRAW_CROSS(dc, win, pen, x0, y0, w, h)

Hey! and if I want to draw characters or numbers??
