Detailed Description

This class enables real time drawing of 2D or 3D graphics. An instance of the class open a window which contains between 1 and 4 graphics. Each one contains a desired number of curves.

Warning: This class is only available if one of the display functionalities (X11, GDI, GTK, OpenCV or Direct3D) is available. In visp/vpConfig.h header file, you should have VISP_HAVE_DISPLAY define.

The example below shows how to use the vpPlot class. An other example provided in tutoral-ibvs-plotter.cpp and described in Tutorial: Real-time curves plotter tool shows how to use this class to plot in real-time some curves during an image-based visual servo.

#include <visp/vpPlot.h>
int main ()
{
#if defined(VISP_HAVE_DISPLAY)
  // Create a window (700 by 700) at position (100, 200) with two graphics
  vpPlot A(2, 700, 700, 100, 200, "Curves...");
  // The first graphic contains 1 curve and the second graphic contains 2 curves
  A.initGraph(0,1);
  A.initGraph(1,2);
  // The color of the curve in the first graphic is red
  A.setColor(0,0,vpColor::red);
  // The first curve in the second graphic is green
  A.setColor(1,0,vpColor::green);
  // The second curve in the second graphic is blue
  A.setColor(1,1,vpColor::blue);
  // Add the point (0,0) in the first graphic
  A.plot(0,0,0,0);
  // Add the point (0,1) to the first curve of the second graphic
  A.plot(1,0,0,1);
  // Add the point (0,2) to the second curve of the second graphic
  A.plot(1,1,0,2);
  for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
    // Add the point (i,sin(i*pi/10) in the first graphic
    A.plot(0,0,i,sin(i*M_PI/10));
    // Add the point (i,1) to the first curve of the second graphic
    A.plot(1,0,i,1);
    // Add the point (i,2) to the second curve of the second graphic
    A.plot(1,1,i,2);
  }
  return 0;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vpPlot::vpPlot ( )

Default constructor.

This constructor creates a new window where the curves will be drawn. The number of graphics in the window must be set.

Warning: You can modify the default window size, but this is not advised.; Under Unix, when X11 is used to display the curves, the default font is set to "-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--10-100-75-75-p-52-iso8859-*". Note that you can chose an other one using "xfontsel".

Parameters

graph_nbr	: The number of graph in the window.
height	: Height of the window.
width	: Width of the window.
x,y	: The window is set at position x,y (column index, row index).
