Detailed Description

template<class T>
class Gnuplot< T >

Open a Gnuplot window and always show last n values of arbitrary defined channels.

T can be std::string or int or anything else supports the << of streams. (It is used as name for a channel.)

Member Function Documentation

void addChannel (  const T &  name, const std::string &  title = "", const std::string &  style = "lines" )  [inline]

void command (  const std::string &  cmd  )  [inline]

send arbitrary command to gnuplot. like "set zeroaxis" or other stuff Definition at line 129 of file gnuplot.h.

int getBuffersize (   )  [inline]

returns buffersize Definition at line 246 of file gnuplot.h.

const nameslist& getNames (   )  [inline]

returns channel names Definition at line 155 of file gnuplot.h.

std::string getTitle (  const T &  channel  )  [inline]

get title Definition at line 160 of file gnuplot.h.

void hide (  const T &  channel  )  [inline]

switch showing of this channel off Definition at line 175 of file gnuplot.h.

void hide_all (   )  [inline]

switch showing all channels off Definition at line 186 of file gnuplot.h.

void plot (   )  [inline]

make gnuplot plot content of data buffers Definition at line 232 of file gnuplot.h.

void plot (  int  start, int  end )  [inline]

make gnuplot plot selected content of data buffers Definition at line 205 of file gnuplot.h.

void plotXY (  const T &  x, const T &  y )  [inline]

make gnuplot XY plot content of x against y data buffers Definition at line 288 of file gnuplot.h.

void plotXY (  const T *  x, const T *  y, int  size )  [inline]

make gnuplot XY plot content of x against y data buffers use it as follow: T x[]={a,b,c}; T y[]={x,y,z}; plotXY(x,y,3); Definition at line 256 of file gnuplot.h.

void printToFile (  const std::string  name = "", const std::string  ext = ".log" )  [inline]

save content of all data buffers in files ( file names are: name + channel_name + ext ) Definition at line 294 of file gnuplot.h.

void putData (  const T &  channel, double  data )  [inline]

add new data value to buffer for channel. if channel not exists nothing happens. So you can select channels in your program by commenting out the addChannel() call Reimplemented in PlotLog, and PlotLog< std::string >. Definition at line 148 of file gnuplot.h.

void setEnd (  int  n  )  [inline]

set end of plot area Parameters: n  steps in history (must be larger than start) Definition at line 243 of file gnuplot.h.

set title Definition at line 191 of file gnuplot.h.

void show (  const T &  channel, bool  on = true )  [inline]

switch showing of this channel on or off Definition at line 168 of file gnuplot.h.

void show_all (  bool  on = true  )  [inline]

switch showing all channels on or off Definition at line 180 of file gnuplot.h.
