How do I add values to my graph in core plot swift?


        let graph = CPTXYGraph(frame: hostview.bounds)
        hostview.hostedGraph = graph
        graph.paddingLeft = 0.0
        graph.paddingTop = 0.0
        graph.paddingRight = 0.0
        graph.paddingBottom = 0.0
        graph.axisSet = nil

That is my code so far. I would like to plot a function. f(x) = x^2 + 10 should be the function value in this case. I want the x-axis and the y-axis to start at 0 and end at 100.

Can someone help me with implementing this f(x)?


Solution

  • Your initialization logic of the graph should look like below. Use this in viewDidLoad

    func initPlot() {
        let graph = CPTXYGraph(frame: hostView.bounds)
        graph.plotAreaFrame?.masksToBorder = false
        hostView.hostedGraph = graph
        graph.backgroundColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
        graph.paddingBottom = 40.0
        graph.paddingLeft = 40.0
        graph.paddingTop = 40.0
        graph.paddingRight = 40.0
    
        //configure title
        let title = "f(x) = x*x + 10"
        graph.title = title
        
        //configure axes
        let axisSet = graph.axisSet as! CPTXYAxisSet
    
        if let x = axisSet.xAxis {
            x.majorIntervalLength   = 20
            x.minorTicksPerInterval = 1
        }
    
        if let y = axisSet.yAxis {
            y.majorIntervalLength   = 5
            y.minorTicksPerInterval = 5
        }
    
        let xMin = 0.0
        let xMax = 100.0
        let yMin = 0.0
        let yMax = 100.0
        guard let plotSpace = graph.defaultPlotSpace as? CPTXYPlotSpace else { return }
        plotSpace.xRange = CPTPlotRange(locationDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(xMin), lengthDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(xMax - xMin))
        plotSpace.yRange = CPTPlotRange(locationDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(yMin), lengthDecimal: CPTDecimalFromDouble(yMax - yMin))
        
        //create the plot
        plot = CPTScatterPlot()
        plot.dataSource = self
        graph.add(plot, to: graph.defaultPlotSpace)
    }
    

    Additionally you need to implement CPTScatterPlotDataSource, where you define the numberOfRecords and respective X and Y values

    extension ViewController: CPTScatterPlotDataSource {
        func numberOfRecords(for plot: CPTPlot) -> UInt {
            return 100
        }
        
        func number(for plot: CPTPlot, field: UInt, record: UInt) -> Any? {
            switch CPTScatterPlotField(rawValue: Int(field))! {
            case .X:
                return record
            case .Y:
                return (record * record) + 10
            default:
                return 0
            }
        }
    }
