Posted by Juan Carlos Sanchez on November 19th, 2001

Environment: Win2K SP2, VC6 SP4

Simply, this is a chart with support for "history". For bugs and improvements mail me, Thz.

The class has the following features:

  • Any number of lines.
  • Different styles, colors and width for each line.
  • Unlimited number of points per line, or you can put limit if you want.
  • Configurable grid.
  • Hscroll.
  • Automatic adjustment to vertical values.
  • ...

How to use

1. Declare a CScrollChart object -- it's a template you must use to specify a type of data. 

CScrollChart< float > m_wndChart;

2. Use Create (See help file for values). 

m_wndChart.Create( WS_VISIBLE | GS_NOTIFY, 
                        rectChart,
                        this,
                        IDR_CHART);

3. Add lines. 

m_wndChart.AddLine(ID_LINE1, RGB(255,0,0));
...
m_wndChart.AddLine(ID_LINE2, RGB(0,0,255), LS_POINT | LS_HORZAUTO);
You can add new lines at any moment.

4. Add data to line. 

m_wndChart.AddData(ID_LINE1, 3, 9);
...
m_wndChart.AddData(ID_LINE1, 10, 2);
m_wndChart.AddData(ID_LINE2, 3);
m_wndChart.AddData(ID_LINE2, 5);
...
m_wndChart.AddData(ID_LINE2, 34);
...

    {

    	int nY;

    	int nX;

    	CRect rectClient;

    	GetClientRect(rectClient);

    	nY = ((rectClient.Height() * (Y-m_MinValue) * 0.95) /( m_MaxValue-m_MinValue));

    	nX = ((rectClient.Width() * (X - m_pointIni)) / m_nHzRange);

    	return CPoint(nX, rectClient.Height() - nY);

    }


    

    << In your program >>

    And if you want to refresh the min vertical limit textbox 

    as in the demo program only in "OnNewLimits" message 

    mapped function uncomment the folloing statment:


    //else m_TextVerMax.SetWindowText(strTmp);


    So that the whole function can looked as follow:


    void CTest02Dlg::OnNewLimits(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

    {

    	CString strTmp;

    	strTmp.Format("%d",wParam);

    	if ( (GetCurrentMessage()->message) == WM_NEWHORZLIMITS) m_TextHozMin.SetWindowText(strTmp);

    	else m_TextVerMin.SetWindowText(strTmp);

    	strTmp.Format("%d",lParam);

    	if ( (GetCurrentMessage()->message) == WM_NEWHORZLIMITS) m_TextHozMax.SetWindowText(strTmp);

    	else m_TextVerMax.SetWindowText(strTmp);

    }

  • Problem with the .Create

    Posted by Legacy on 04/28/2003 12:00am

    Specifies the chart control's ID.

    What is the chart control's ID? Is is the scrollbar?
    This header looks wonderfull but I can't get it running...
    In the example it has value 101. Why? I can't find the reason...

    Thanks for help!!

    Emil,
    for your help.That u have suggested is one away solution and i also find other solution
    as
    Create pointer
    CScrollChart *myscrollchart;
    myscrollchart=new CScrollChart();
    this work fine

    Now I have concern about memory size.
    when I put four scrollchart controls having 3 to 4 lines each with 0 timer the memory uses increases drastically.And CPU usage is also 99% which affect other application's working.
    So can any one suggest how to clip the control.
    Window display as of size of control would be sufficient for me.
