I was going through the Surface example here
When the user clicks anywhere it draws a point
what i'd like to know is how to do this programatically,like, if a user gives 3 coordinates x, y, and z. How do I go about plotting such point?
you can add a custom item like so:
QImage color = QImage(2, 2, QImage::Format_RGB32);
color.fill(Qt::cyan);
QVector3D positionOne = QVector3D(2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f);
QCustom3DItem* item = new QCustom3DItem(":/items/monkey.obj", positionOne,
QVector3D(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f),
QQuaternion::fromAxisAndAngle(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 45.0f),
color);
item->setScaling(QVector3D(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f));
m_graph->addCustomItem(item);
Note that the .obj file must be a mesh file, you can generate one with blender for example, just don't forget to triangulate the mesh before you export the .obj file.
