|
|
<p> We draw pie segments (or bar chart bars), and any labels, on a canvas.
|
|
The canvas is presented to the user through a canvas view. The
|
|
drawElements() function is called to redraw the canvas when necessary.

|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> The first thing we do in drawElements() is delete all the existing

canvas items.

int scaleFactor = m_chartType == PIE ? 5760 :
|
|
m_chartType == VERTICAL_BAR ? m_canvas->height() :
|
|
m_canvas->width();
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> Next we calculate the scale factor which depends on the type of chart
|
|
we're going to draw.

else
|

scales[i] = (m_elements[i].value() * scaleFactor) / biggest;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We will need to know how many values there are, the biggest value and
|
|
the total value so that we can create pie segments or bars that are
|
|
correctly scaled. We store the scaled values in the <tt>scales</tt> array.
|
|
<p> <pre> switch ( m_chartType ) {

drawing function, passing in the scaled values, the total and the

count.

<p> <pre> m_canvas->update();
|

</pre>

<p> Finally we update() the canvas to make the changes visible.
|
|
<p> <h3> drawHorizontalBarChart()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<a name="1-1"></a><p> We'll review just one of the drawing functions, to see how canvas
|
|
items are created and placed on a canvas since this tutorial is about
|
|
TQt rather than good (or bad) algorithms for drawing charts.
|
|
<p> <pre> void ChartForm::drawHorizontalBarChart(
|
|
const double scales[], double total, int count )
|
|
{
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> To draw a horizontal bar chart we need the array of scaled values, the
|
|
total value (so that we can calculate and draw percentages if
|
|
required) and a count of the number of values.
|
|
<p> <pre> double width = m_canvas->width();
|
|
double height = m_canvas->height();
|
|
int proheight = int(height / count);
|
|
int y = 0;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We retrieve the width and height of the canvas and calculate the
|
|
proportional height (<tt>proheight</tt>). We set the initial <tt>y</tt> position
|
|
to 0.
|
|
<p> <pre> <a href="tqpen.html">TQPen</a> pen;
|
|
<a name="x2575"></a> pen.<a href="tqpen.html#setStyle">setStyle</a>( NoPen );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We create a pen that we will use to draw each bar (rectangle); we set
|
|
it to <tt>NoPen</tt> so that no outlines are drawn.
|
|
<p> <pre> for ( int i = 0; i < MAX_ELEMENTS; ++i ) {
|
|
if ( m_elements[i].isValid() ) {
|
|
int extent = int(scales[i]);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We iterate over every element in the element vector, skipping invalid
|
|
elements. The extent of each bar (its length) is simply its scaled
|
|
value.
|
|
<p> <pre> <a href="tqcanvasrectangle.html">TQCanvasRectangle</a> *rect = new <a href="tqcanvasrectangle.html">TQCanvasRectangle</a>(
|
|
0, y, extent, proheight, m_canvas );

<a name="x2572"></a> rect-><a href="tqcanvaspolygonalitem.html#setBrush">setBrush</a>( TQBrush( m_elements[i].valueColor(),

BrushStyle(m_elements[i].valuePattern()) ) );

|
|
<a name="x2571"></a> rect-><a href="tqcanvasitem.html#show">show</a>();
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We create a new <a href="tqcanvasrectangle.html">TQCanvasRectangle</a> for each bar with an x position of 0
|
|
(since this is a horizontal bar chart every bar begins at the left), a
|
|
y value that starts at 0 and grows by the height of each bar as each
|
|
one is drawn, the height of the bar and the canvas that the bar should
|
|
be drawn on. We then set the bar's brush to the color and pattern that
|
|
the user has specified for the element, set the pen to the pen we
|
|
created earlier (i.e. to <tt>NoPen</tt>) and we place the bar at position 0
|
|
in the Z-order. Finally we call show() to draw the bar on the canvas.
|
|
<p> <pre> <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> label = m_elements[i].label();
|
|
<a name="x2576"></a> if ( !label.<a href="tqstring.html#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>() || m_addValues != NO ) {
|
|
double proX = m_elements[i].proX( HORIZONTAL_BAR );
|
|
double proY = m_elements[i].proY( HORIZONTAL_BAR );
|
|
if ( proX < 0 || proY < 0 ) {
|
|
proX = 0;
|
|
proY = y / height;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> If the user has specified a label for the element or asked for the
|
|
values (or percentages) to be shown, we also draw a canvas text item.
|
|
We created our own CanvasText class (see later) because we want to
|
|
store the corresponding element index (in the element vector) in each
|
|
canvas text item. We extract the proportional x and y values from the
|
|
element. If either is < 0 then they have not been positioned by the
|
|
user so we must calculate positions for them. We set the label's x
|
|
value to 0 (left) and the y value to the top of the bar (so that the
|
|
label's top-left will be at this x, y position).
|
|
<p> <pre> label = valueLabel( label, m_elements[i].value(), total );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We then call a helper function valueLabel() which returns a string
|
|
containing the label text. (The valueLabel() function adds on the
|
|
value or percentage to the textual label if the user has set the
|
|
appropriate options.)
|
|
<p> <pre> CanvasText *text = new CanvasText( i, label, m_font, m_canvas );
|
|
<a name="x2574"></a> text-><a href="tqcanvastext.html#setColor">setColor</a>( m_elements[i].labelColor() );
|
|
<a name="x2568"></a> text-><a href="tqcanvasitem.html#setX">setX</a>( proX * width );
|
|
<a name="x2569"></a> text-><a href="tqcanvasitem.html#setY">setY</a>( proY * height );
|
|
text-><a href="tqcanvasitem.html#setZ">setZ</a>( 1 );
|
|
text-><a href="tqcanvasitem.html#show">show</a>();
|
|
m_elements[i].setProX( HORIZONTAL_BAR, proX );
|
|
m_elements[i].setProY( HORIZONTAL_BAR, proY );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> We then create a CanvasText item, passing it the index of this element
|
|
in the element vector, and the label, font and canvas to use. We set
|
|
the text item's text color to the color specified by the user and set
|
|
the item's x and y positions proportional to the canvas's width and
|
|
height. We set the Z-order to 1 so that the text item will always be
|
|
above (in front of) the bar (whose Z-order is 0). We call show() to
|
|
draw the text item on the canvas, and set the element's relative x and
|
|
y positions.
|
|
<p> <pre> }
|
|
y += proheight;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> After drawing a bar and possibly its label, we increment y by the
|
|
proportional height ready to draw the next element.

|

<li> Context menu requests.
|
|
<li> Form resizing.
|
|
<li> Users dragging labels to arbitrary positions.
|

</ol>
|
|
<p> To support these we store a pointer to the canvas item that is being

moved and its last position. We also store a pointer to the element

vector.
|
|
<p> <h3> Supporting Context Menus
|
|
</h3>

<a name="x2579"></a> ((ChartForm*)<a href="tqobject.html#parent">parent</a>())->optionsMenu->exec( TQCursor::<a href="ntqcursor.html#pos">pos</a>() );
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> When the user invokes a context menu (e.g. by right-clicking on most
|
|
platforms) we cast the canvas view's parent (which is the chart form)
|
|
to the right type and then exec()ute the options menu at the cursor
|
|
position.

<p> <h3> Handling Resizing

|
|
((ChartForm*)<a href="tqobject.html#parent">parent</a>())->drawElements();
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> To resize we simply resize the canvas that the canvas view is
|
|
presenting to the width and height of the form's client area, then
|
|
call drawElements() to redraw the chart. Because drawElements() draws
|
|
everything relative to the canvas's width and height the chart is
|
|
drawn correctly.
|
|
<p> <h3> Dragging Labels into Position
|

</h3>
|

<a name="3-3"></a><p> When the user wants to drag a label into position they click it, then

drag and release at the new position.

</pre>
|
|
<p> When the user clicks the mouse we create a list of canvas items that
|
|
the mouse click "collided" with (if any). We then iterate over this
|
|
list and if we find a <tt>CanvasText</tt> item we set it as the moving item
|
|
and record its position. Otherwise we set there to be no moving item.

|
|
|

<a href="tqcanvasview.html#canvas">canvas</a>()->update();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p> As the user drags the mouse, move events are generated. If there is a
|
|
moving item we calculate the offset from the last mouse position and
|
|
move the item by this offset amount. We record the new position as the
|
|
last position. Because the chart has now changed we call setChanged()
|
|
so that the user will be prompted to save if they attempt to exit or
|
|
to load an existing chart or to create a new chart. We also update the
|
|
element's proportional x and y positions for the current chart type to
|
|
the current x and y positions proportional to the width and height
|
|
respectively. We know which element to update because when we create
|
|
each canvas text item we pass it the index position of the element it
|
|
corresponds to. We subclassed <a href="tqcanvastext.html">TQCanvasText</a> so that we could set and get
|
|
this index value. Finally we call update() to make the canvas redraw.
