Hello everybody...
I have a little problem with qwtplot.
I've written a plot such a cpuplot(Qwt examples). How can i make it to scroll with time. For example suppose that it's been two hours which it runs, i want to let user go back with scroll to zero.
How can i do that??? (Don't say look at realtime example, cuase it's different approach; i want to scroll with time not when zooming)
Thanks everybody
you could try moving plot axis scale like this
plot->setAxisScale(QwtPlot::xBottom,from,to);
where from is x start value and to is de x end value
Thanks for reply...
So how can i attach a scroll to QwtPlot???
you can use a Qt Scroll Widget, but you can't attach to your plot.
or you could implement a drag and drop function with a QwtPlotPicket or something like that
There are many different ways to implement "scrolling". Basically it is not more than translating some sort of user input to changes of the current scale.Quote:

But when using some sort of slider the application has to implement the layout code - the realtime example shows it for scroll bars, the eventFilter examples for a wheel.
The interesting thing about using a wheel is, that you don't need to have a reference interval ( min, max ) and you can scroll up/down without limits relative to the current scale interval.

Thanks Uwe for replying..
can u explain more? I want to scroll back to previous times not when user zooms.
How do you assign data to your plot? If say you have an array with full data which is constantly growing andQuote:

Then every time, after updating data to curve you do
plot->setAxisScale(QwtPlot::xBottom,lastSecondOfData - intervalToDisplayInSeconds , lastSecondOfData );
which will show you last (intervalToDisplayInSeconds) seconds of data, not all of them.
Other way is to use piece of full array(say last several elements), and assign this piece to plot curve, it will be
showing updating data.
zooming != scrolling - don't expect any useful answer as long as there is no reasonable question.Quote:

Pagewise by forward/backward buttons - or what type of user interaction do you have in mind ?Quote:

You can always modify the scales using QwtPlot::setAxisScale, but when you want to have some sort of user interaction you have to tell us which one.Quote:

Interestingly, we scroll AND zoom via a separate plot in GoldenCheetah and using a qxtspanslider.Quote:

Thanks liversedge...
Can u explain more about GoldenCheetah?? Is it a Qt component or something like that??
Use
(void) new QwtPlotPanner(plot->canvas());
(void) new QwtPlotMagnifier(plot->canvas());
and dont forget to include qwt_plot_magnifier.h and qwt_plot_panner.h
you will able to zoom in or zoom out through mouse scroll.
and you can able to move your curve.
That is a good way sonulohani :) Thanks
