Curve could not pass the points

[momo]

Hi all,
I want to draw a curve in the plot, the value of the first point is relatively small and the value of the last one is relatively large,
I want to use QwtSplineCurveFitter to make the curve smoother, but the result shows that the curve could not pass the point,
can you help me to solve this problem?

this is my code:

#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qwt_plot.h>
#include <qwt_plot_curve.h>
#include <qwt_plot_grid.h>
#include <qwt_curve_fitter.h>
#include <qwt_symbol.h>
#include <qwt_legend.h>
#include <qwt_scale_engine.h>
 
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    QApplication a( argc, argv );
 
    QwtPlot plot;
    plot.setTitle( "Plot Demo" );						
    plot.setCanvasBackground( Qt::white );				
	plot.setAxisScale( QwtPlot::yLeft, 0, 100 );		
	plot.setAxisScale( QwtPlot::xBottom, 50.0, 0.0 );	
	plot.insertLegend( new QwtLegend() );
    QwtPlotGrid *grid = new QwtPlotGrid();
    grid->attach( &plot );
 
    QwtPlotCurve *curve = new QwtPlotCurve();
    curve->setTitle( "Some Points" );
    curve->setPen( QPen( Qt::blue, 1 ) );
    curve->setRenderHint( QwtPlotItem::RenderAntialiased, true );
 
	QwtSymbol *symbol = new QwtSymbol( QwtSymbol::Ellipse,
		QBrush( Qt::yellow ), QPen( Qt::red, 1 ), QSize( 2, 2 ) );
	curve->setSymbol( symbol );
 
	curve->setCurveAttribute(QwtPlotCurve::Fitted);
	QwtSplineCurveFitter *pCurveFitter = new QwtSplineCurveFitter;
	pCurveFitter->setFitMode(QwtSplineCurveFitter::ParametricSpline);
	curve->setCurveFitter(pCurveFitter);

Your x values seem to be increasing - so you don't need a ParametricSpline ?

Uwe

In SVN trunk you find a first implementation of a fitter using Bezier curves. You can try this one too and if you like it you can copy it to your code as the implementation is compatible with Qwt 6.1.

Hi Uwe,
Thank you for your reply.
Now I deleted the following code:

curve->setCurveAttribute(QwtPlotCurve::Fitted);
//	QwtSplineCurveFitter *pCurveFitter = new QwtSplineCurveFitter;
//	pCurveFitter->setFitMode(QwtSplineCurveFitter::Auto);
//	curve->setCurveFitter(pCurveFitter);

curve->setCurveAttribute(QwtPlotCurve::Fitted);
//	QwtSplineCurveFitter *pCurveFitter = new QwtSplineCurveFitter;
//	pCurveFitter->setFitMode(QwtSplineCurveFitter::Auto);
//	curve->setCurveFitter(pCurveFitter);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The curve is still not pass the point.
Is it Qwt's bug? Or is it my wrong way to use CurveAttribute and CurveFitter?
