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 visp3/core/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 <visp3/gui/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.

Needs then a call to init().

Definition at line 62 of file vpPlot.cpp.

vpPlot::vpPlot ( const unsigned int  graph_nbr,
const unsigned int  height = 700,
const unsigned int  width = 700,
const int  x = -1,

)

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).
title: Window title.
