Custom Chart Library and Designer

[Paul Turley]

Hello Ionic Wind users,
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new product. The Custom Chart Library and Designer, by T. Larry McCaughn.

 The Custom Chart Library is a static library for use with Emergence BASIC (EBASIC)©. It consists of a custom Windows™ control with supporting configuration and data functions. The Custom Chart Designer uses the Library and provides a convenient visual means for designing a chart and even creates the EBasic code for that particular chart. The Designer allows the full use of the Library without the user having to know very much about the actual chart functions.

Library Features:
- Select from 9 different chart types:
   FX    -    y = f(x)
   FT    -    y = f(time)
   XY    -    x,y scattergram
   BAR    -    Vertical bar
   BARF    -    Floating vertical bar
   BARH   -    Horizontal bar
   BARHF   -    Floating horizontal bar
   PIE   -    Pie
   LINE   -    Line
- No artifical limit on number of charts per application.
- No artifical limit on number of chart types per application.
- Multiple datasets per chart (except pie charts).
- Color or Bitmap background selectable for chart and plot backgrounds.
- Selectable color for each text area.
- Selectable font, style, and size for each text area.
- Selectable data plot color.
- Selectable grid color, style, and visibility.
- All parameters (except chartstyle) changeable under program control.

Designer Features:
- Actual size chart displayed that instantly reflects all changes.
- Sample data generated for display preview.
- All text areas have independent Font selection parameters.
- All text, marker, label, title, footnote, and grid colors adjustable.
- Chart size adjustable.
- Status bar shows current chart type, file name, and if chart has been changed.
- Save any chart configuration to file.
- Make any chart the default for its type.
- Restore all original defaults at any time.
- Generates appropriate EBasic code that user copies to application.
- Set preference to open specific type of chart or last open chart at startup.

hello,

it looks nice !

could we get more samples screen shots to get a better idea of what it can be done with this new tool ?

Thank's

[Paul Turley]

Dom,
I am getting the demo version ready.   I'll ask Larry to post a few more screen shots.

Paul.

Dom,
These are screen shots of the first 4 sample applications that come with the package.
When these applications are running, each series of data on each chart comes and goes to demonstrate that data can be changed during runtime.

The next 4.

and the last.

[Larry McCaughn]

this is an application designed by forum member, Allan, (who is a longtime IBasic/EBasic user and an excellent beta tester)

This one demonstates multiple charts and types in one application.
As choices are made in the list the data changes.

Here is a link to a demo version:

The demo library has watermarks on the charts (says "sample" as indicated in Larry's screen shot).

I'm licened user of your custom Chart Library and Designer. I found an very interesting libaray for creating maybe if that can create an virtual oscilloscope screen?

Is that possible with your library?

 

[Larry McCaughn]

The chart library has a y=f(x) chart type.

That's as close as it can get.

An O-scope is a plot function of voltage vs. time.

All my library does for a function is send a pixel based x value  (scaled to the user's x axis) to the user's function and the user's function returns the proper y value when the library scales properly for display.

It's up to the user to properly construct the nature of their function.

So if you created an array of x/y values with the x value being time having a value equal to the time for 1 pixel and having the y value be the voltage at that time you could probably have something that functioned like an o-scope

the problem might be the speed that you could update the values
If your scope was 800 pixels wide that is 800 values that would have to be updated very fast. 
If you wanted the chart to repaint every sec then all your data gathering would have to occur in less than that second.

I just don't know how well it would work out.
