Using QTime as X asis in QwtPlot


I am trying to draw velocity-time graphics using qwtplot.

My X datas are QTime values and Y datas are corresponding speed values. I could not find any example on drawing plots with QTime. Can anyone simply explain how to draw QTime versus Y data ? If possible I would also like to learn how to scale QTime axis.


Solution

  • For future readers I have found a solution thanks to HeyyYO. I am sharing this very simple example :

    #include "QApplication"
    #include<qwt_plot_layout.h>
    #include<qwt_plot_curve.h>
    #include<qwt_scale_draw.h>
    #include<qwt_scale_widget.h>
    #include<qwt_legend.h>
    class TimeScaleDraw:public QwtScaleDraw
    {
    public:
        TimeScaleDraw(const QTime & base)
            :baseTime(base)
        {
        }
    virtual QwtText label(double v)const
    {
        QTime upTime = baseTime.addSecs((int)v);
        return upTime.toString();
    }
    private:
        QTime baseTime;
    };
    
    int main(int argc,char * argv[])
    {
        QApplication a(argc,argv);
    
        QwtPlot * myPlot = new QwtPlot(NULL);
    
        myPlot->setAxisScaleDraw(QwtPlot::xBottom,new TimeScaleDraw(QTime::currentTime()));
        myPlot->setAxisTitle(QwtPlot::xBottom,"Time");
        myPlot->setAxisLabelRotation(QwtPlot::xBottom,-50.0);
        myPlot->setAxisLabelAlignment(QwtPlot::xBottom,Qt::AlignLeft|Qt::AlignBottom);
    
        myPlot->setAxisTitle(QwtPlot::yLeft,"Speed");
        QwtPlotCurve * cur = new QwtPlotCurve("Speed");
        QwtPointSeriesData * data = new QwtPointSeriesData;
        QVector<QPointF>* samples=new QVector<QPointF>;
        for ( int i=0;i<60;i++)
        {
            samples->push_back(QPointF(i,i*i));
        }
        data->setSamples(*samples);
        cur->setData(data);
        cur->attach(myPlot);
        myPlot->show();
        return a.exec();
    }
