Detailed Description

QmitkChartWidget is a widget to display various charts based on the javascript chart library plotly.

Data is added via AddData1D() or AddData2D().
There can be multiple charts (of different types with different properties) created by calling AddData1D or AddData2D multiple times.

The following chart types are supported:

  • line chart
  • bar chart
  • spline chart
  • pie chart
  • scatter chart
  • area chart
  • area spline chart.

Technical details: The javascript code is embedded in a QWebEngineView. The actual js code is implemented in resource\Chart.js.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddChartExampleData()

void QmitkChartWidget::AddChartExampleData ( const std::vector< std::pair< double, double > > &  data2D,
const std::string &  label,
const std::string &  type,
const std::string &  color,
const std::string &  style,
const std::string &  pieLabelsData = 0 
)

◆ AddData1D()

void QmitkChartWidget::AddData1D ( const std::vector< double > &  data1D,
const std::string &  label,
ChartType  chartType = ChartType::bar 
)

Adds 1D data to the widget.

internally, the list is converted to a map with increasing integers keys starting at 0.

Parameters
data1D
labelthe name of the data that is also used as identifier.
chartTypethe chart type that should be used for this data entry
Note
the data can be cleared with ClearDiagram()
If the label name already exists, the name is replaced with a unique one by concatenating numbers to it.
Warning
Pie chart is significantly different than the other chart types. Here, the data given by AddData1D is summed. Each entry represents a different category.

◆ AddData2D()

void QmitkChartWidget::AddData2D ( const std::vector< std::pair< double, double > > &  data2D,
const std::string &  label,
ChartType  chartType = ChartType::bar 
)

Adds 2D data to the widget. Call repeatedly for displaying multiple charts.

each entry represents a data point: key: value --> x-value: y-value.

Parameters
data2D
labelthe name of the data that is also used as identifier.
chartTypethe chart type that should be used for this data entry
Note
the data can be cleared with ClearDiagram()
If the label name already exists, the name is replaced with a unique one by concatenating numbers to it.
Warning
Pie chart is significantly different than the other chart types. Here, the data given by AddData1D is summed. Each entry represents a different category.

◆ Clear()

void QmitkChartWidget::Clear ( )

Clears all data inside and resets the widget.

◆ GetDataElementByLabel()

◆ Reload()

void QmitkChartWidget::Reload ( )

Reloads the chart in the widget.

reloading may be needed to display added data in an existing chart

◆ RemoveData()

void QmitkChartWidget::RemoveData ( const std::string &  label)

Removes data from the widget, works for 1D and 2D Data.

Parameters
labelthe name of the data that is also used as identifier.
Note
All data can be cleared with Clear()
Exceptions
InvalidArgument Exception when the label cannot be found

◆ SavePlotAsImage()

void QmitkChartWidget::SavePlotAsImage ( )

◆ SetChartType()

void QmitkChartWidget::SetChartType ( const std::string &  label,
ChartType  type 
)

Sets the chart type for a data entry.

for available types, see ChartType

Note
If an unknown label is given, nothing happens.
Warning
Pie chart is significantly different than the other chart types. Here, the data given by AddData1D is summed. Each entry represents a different category.
See also
DiagramType for available types

◆ SetColor()

void QmitkChartWidget::SetColor ( const std::string &  label,
const std::string &  colorName 
)

Sets the color of one data entry (identifier is previously assigned label)

the color name can be "red" or a hex number (#FF0000 ).

Warning
Either define all data entries with a color or no data entry. If a mixed approach is used, plotly choses the color of the data entry (that could be the same as a user defined color).
Note
If an unknown label is given, nothing happens.
