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 tutorial-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;
#endif

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).

The content of the file is the following:

  • The first line of the text file is the graphic title prefixed by title_prefix.

    • the first column corresponds to the x axis of the first curve
    • the second column corresponds to the y axis of the first curve
    • the third column corresponds to the z axis of the first curve
    • the fourth column corresponds to the x axis of the second curve
    • the fifth column corresponds to the y axis of the second curve
    • the sixth column corresponds to the z axis of the second curve

The columns are delimited thanks to tabulations.

Parameters
title_prefix: Prefix introducted in the first line of the saved file. To exploit a posteriori the resulting curves:
  • with gnuplot, set title_prefix to "# ".
  • with Matlab, set title_prefix to "% ".
