|
<p> The <tt>chart</tt> application shows how straight-forward it is to create
|
|
|
|
|
applications and their dialogs with TQt. Creating menus and toolbars is
|
|
|
|
|
easy and TQt's <a href="signalsandslots.html">signals and slots</a>
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism considerably simplifies GUI event handling.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Manually creating layouts can take some time to master, but there is
|
|
|
|
|
an easy alternative: <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a> includes simple but
|
|
|
|
|
powerful layout tools and a code editor. It can automatically generate
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>main.cpp</tt> and the <tt>.pro</tt> project file.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The <tt>chart</tt> application is ripe for further development and
|
|
|
|
|
experimentation. You might consider implementing some of the following
|
|
|
|
|
ideas:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Use a <a href="tqvalidator.html">TQValidator</a> subclass to ensure that only valid doubles are
|
|
|
|
|
entered as values.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Adding more chart types, e.g. line graph, area graph and hi-lo
|
|
|
|
|
graph.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Allowing the user to set top, bottom left and right margins.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Allowing the user to specify a title which they can drag into
|
|
|
|
|
position like the labels.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Providing an axis drawing and labelling option.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Providing an option to provide a key (or legend) instead of labels.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Adding a 3D look option to all chart types.
