Plotting package wxWidgets
j.b...@mapperlithography.com
At this moment I am performing a survey with respect to plotting packages
based on wxWidgets. I am
looking for something like Plot Graphic Library
(http://www.pelikhan.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=29),
which provides a C++ interface that hides all nasty details of plotting a
graph.
I am aware of the fact that there is a contribution called plot, that
provides the wxPlotCanvas, and
another contribution call wxPlot based on PLplot. However, both do not
offer the functionality as
presented by the Plot Graphic Library (unless I add an C++ layer).
Does anyone know a plotting package based on wxWidgets that offers a
reasonable full-blown
C++ interface?
Kind regards,
John Boers

Hi,
You can easily add more to the http://wxart2d.sourceforge.net/ its
curve module to do
what you need.
Several people are using it for charts already.
The basic charts, are already there.
See the lowwest "curve" module screenshots here:
http://wxart2d.sourceforge.net/screenshots/screenshots.html
The extra you get is:
-you can load and save in several formats. XML is a wxArt2D native format.
-you can add/draw on the graphs, and you can add markers, and edit the
curves interactive.
Markers can be dragged and showmarkers will update automatically.
-zooming and adding additional graphics interactive or using code is
dead simple.
-combine bitmap (zoomable ) with the rest of the drawing.
So this is not only for showing graphs, it can for example even do
GDSII to show your Lithography ;-)

Klaas

Your package looks really impressive. I am also interested in the plot/chart
capabilities. I have just one small question that I could not find an answer
by looking on the website: is it possible to have logarithm plot? Or this
has to be implemented. If yes, would it be difficult?
Cheers

All in wxArt2D are wxCanvasObject derived classes, and those classes can
be nested.
So a curvegroup object has several curve or function objects as child,
markers also are childs of curves.
Show markers objects are at the same level as the curvegroup, but keep
an eye on the curve of which
they show the marker position.
As you will understand the curvegroup as its won coordinate system (
independent of the canvas its coordinate system.)
The same is in principle true for any object.
So the answer is yes, and it is not very complicated.
As long as you can draw/project it on a piece of paper, it can be done.
Because the idea is to project the objects internal data ( logarithmic
scale plus data ) on a 2d plot area.
It is i think just converting/projecting the logarithmic scale onto a
normal 2d coordinate system.
Editing such a logarithmic curve, might take some more effort, but of
that i am not sure without looking into it.

Thank you Klaas, for this detailled explanation. I am not sure it is really
clear for me. I think drawing of the curves is not the major problem since,
it would not be to difficult to convert the real coordinate into the device
coordinate, but the rest of the "decoration" is probably more of a problem
(axes, label in the form 10^6 and not 100000,...). Well, I don't have
really the time now to investigate this, but this is already good to know
that it is feasible...

This process is fine if the plot is a one time thing. If, however, the plot
needs to update in something close to real-time, this is not a very efficient
option. I am a big fan of gnuplot, however.

Hi,
The day Gnuplot 4 was released (April 16, 2004), I said I'd
try integrating it with wxWidgets. All went well, and even
those long sequences of Gnuplot demo scripts appear to work
as usual. However, I am buried under many uni assignments,
so have not yet added the GUI frills. Currently, it can be
driven programmatically by sending standard Gnuplot command
strings to the plotting engine, and "set term wx" sends the
plots (2&3D) to an arbitrary wxPanel.
If anyone is keen to look at the pre-alpha version, let me
know. First problem is justification of text labels. I used
the existing win.trm as starting point for a wx.trm, but Win32
DCs have a routine for text alignment (not in wx2.4.1?):
SetTextAlign(
HDC hdc, // handle to device context
UINT fMode); // text-alignment flag
where fMode is:
TA_BASELINE, TA_BOTTOM, TA_TOP,
TA_CENTER, TA_LEFT, TA_RIGHT
Once I work out some wx eqivalent and clean up a demo, the
code may serve as a starting point for someone with spare
time to add a full set of menus, etc.

You seem to have much work to do:-) But I am very interested in accessing
GNU-Plot from within wxWidgets. I am involved in 3D-plotting of the tension
in mechanical systems and intend to use wx for my next projects. I am not a
too good programmer at all but wxWidgets works fine for me so far. Do you
intend to make a documentaion for this work or put something to the wxWIKI?
yours Reinhard

Subject: Datenbanken und Windows Programmierung mit ODBC
Hallo
nein, das Programm ist sozusagen eine Steuersoftware für ein Medizingerät.
Es wurde für meine ehemalige Firma entwickelt und ich habe das im Anschluss
noch ein wenig weiterentwickelt. Ich teste das gerade für Linux unter KDE.
Es liest die Daten aber nur seriell aus und schreibt sie in eine Datenbank.
Es handelt sich dabei um eine ganz normale Datenbank in Microsoft Access.
Unter Linux geht das natürlich nur mit mySQL.
Zu Deiner anderen Frage: Ich fand viele Informationen über ODBC in den
Microsoftbüchern aus dem Markt und Technik-Verlag. Davon habe ich 4-oder 5
Stück. Sieh mal auf meiner Webseite nach, dort findest Du massig
Literaturhinweise.
http://home.arcor.de/juergen.schuhmacher/progrecommend.html
Es gibt dort auch ein Buch "Programmieren in PHP und mySQL" - mit dem ich
eine Webapplikation gemacht habe. Dort findet sich sehr viel über mySQL.
Eine andere Empfehlung wäre das Buch über die Unternehmensdatenbanken mit
Acccess und SQL. Mehr braucht man eigentlich nicht. Wenn Du die alle gelesen
hast, hast Du's drauf :-)) Freie Resourcen gibt es freilich auch, aber die
Programmierbücher sind nicht teuer und lohnen absolut.
Schönen Gruss aus dem Linsengericht
Dipl.-Ing. Jürgen Schuhmacher
P.S. ich habe noch ein paar ältere Bücher über Messtechnik und
Port-Programmierung von früher her. Da war auch Demosoftware dabei, die ich
schicken könnte. Allerdings ist das meiste in Pascal/Delphi formuliert und
in Windows nicht direkt zu gebrauchen.

Very cool. Wish i had time to play with it, but very cool.
