QPolarChart

[buster]

I might have celebrated a bit prematurely, as the following code (adapted from the example in the QPolarChart Class doc.);

m_angularAxis = new QValueAxis();
    m_angularAxis->setTickCount(9);  
    m_angularAxis->setLabelFormat("%.1f");
    m_angularAxis->setShadesVisible(true);
    m_angularAxis->setShadesBrush(QBrush(QColor(249, 249, 255)));
    m_chart->addAxis(m_angularAxis, QPolarChart::PolarOrientationAngular);

m_angularAxis = new QValueAxis();
    m_angularAxis->setTickCount(9);  
    m_angularAxis->setLabelFormat("%.1f");
    m_angularAxis->setShadesVisible(true);
    m_angularAxis->setShadesBrush(QBrush(QColor(249, 249, 255)));
    m_chart->addAxis(m_angularAxis, QPolarChart::PolarOrientationAngular);

craches the application. Looks like a segmentation error, although the error message just states that the application has crashed. The strange thing is that if I change the last line to

m_chart->addAxis(m_radialAxis, QPolarChart::PolarOrientationRadial);

m_chart->addAxis(m_radialAxis, QPolarChart::PolarOrientationRadial);

there is no crash. So it seems to be related to PolarOrientationAngular. Running it in the debugger causes the debugger to crash, so I must be doing something really daft. I suspect it could be related to my CMakeListe.txt file,

find_package(Qt5Charts)
target_link_libraries(myApp Qt5::Widgets Qt5::Charts)

find_package(Qt5Charts)
target_link_libraries(myApp Qt5::Widgets Qt5::Charts)

but I cannot see what it might me. Am I missing something?

If it runs in the debugger, then use the debugger to find where the crash occurs by looking at the call stack at the point of the crash. We aren't sitting there looking over your shoulder, so how are we to know what else you are doing that could cause a problem?

If your CMake script builds an executable, then the problem is not in the CMake script. It's in your code (or your run time environment). Be sure that the Qt installation that find_package() is finding (and building against) is the same one that your run time is calling on to load shared libraries. Use the "ldd" command to find which libraries have been linked to and compare those with your path.

using namespace QtCharts

All of the classes in the QtCharts library are in the QtCharts namespace. If you don't want to have to qualify every class with the namespace, you add the "using" directive. Otherwise, every time you declare a QPolarChart instance, you have to declare it as QtCharts::QPolarChart and so forth.

The problem is solved. I had just committed a stupid mistake. Thanks for the help.

Wow, I've never done that.
