Read data from txt and plot it in real time

deleted286

I have an txt file. I want to do this in order;
First read the data from txt file and than plot it in an order. Here is my code, it doesnt work but i dont know why. Im so new on qt platform. I'm open to any suggestions.

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QtWidgets/QApplication>
#include <QtWidgets/QMainWindow>
#include <QTimer>
#include <QtCharts/QLineSeries>
#include <QtCore/QFile>
#include <QtCore/QTextStream>
#include <QtCore/QDebug>
#include <QtCharts/QValueAxis>
#include <QtCharts/QChartView>
#include <QtCore/QDateTime>
#include <QtCharts/QDateTimeAxis>

QT_CHARTS_USE_NAMESPACE

using namespace QtCharts;
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);


    QTimer *t1 = new QTimer(this);
    connect(t1, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(sunSpot()));
    t1->start(0);

    QTimer *t2 = new QTimer(this);
    connect(t2, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(chart()));

    t2->start(5);


QLineSeries *series = new QLineSeries();


QFile sunSpots(":sun");

if (!sunSpots.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {

}

QTextStream stream(&sunSpots);
while (!stream.atEnd()) {
    QString line = stream.readLine(); //satır satır okuma yap
    if (line.startsWith("#") || line.startsWith(":")) //# veya : ile başlayıyorsa devam et, hiçbir şey yapma
        continue;
    QStringList values = line.split(QLatin1Char(' '), Qt::SkipEmptyParts); //boşlukları ayırıyor ve atıyor
    QDateTime momentInTime;
    momentInTime.setDate(QDate(values[0].toInt(), values[1].toInt() , 15)); //?
    qDebug()<< momentInTime;
    series->append(momentInTime.toMSecsSinceEpoch(), values[2].toDouble());
}
sunSpots.close(); //açtığımız txt dosyasını kapat



QChart *chart = new QChart();

QDateTimeAxis *axisX = new QDateTimeAxis; //eksenleri ayarlıyoruz. QLineSeries
   axisX->setTickCount(10); //x ekseninde gösterilecek veri sayısı.
   axisX->setFormat("MMM yyyy"); //format ay ve yıl olacak.
   axisX->setTitleText("Date"); //x ekseninin altndaki başlık date olacak.
   chart->addAxis(axisX, Qt::AlignBottom);

   series->attachAxis(axisX); //seriye eklediğimiz bilgileri x eksenine koyuyoruz.
   QValueAxis *axisY = new QValueAxis;
   axisY->setLabelFormat("%i");
   axisY->setTitleText("Sunspots count");
   chart->addAxis(axisY, Qt::AlignLeft);
   series->attachAxis(axisY);

    QChartView *chartView = new QChartView(chart);
    chartView->setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);


  QMainWindow window;
  window.setCentralWidget(chartView);
  window.resize(820, 600);
  window.show();


}



//MainWindow::~MainWindow()
//{


//    delete ui;

//}

@suslucoder said in Read data from txt and plot it in real time:

QMainWindow window;
window.setCentralWidget(chartView);
window.resize(820, 600);
window.show();

c++ basics - how long do you think does this object lives?

I'm trying to learn c++ and qt also. I've only been working for 2 days.

Then I would not start with such a complex problem but go for a c++ book and learn the basics. Sorry.

@Christian-Ehrlicher You are free to not help. I'm sure there will be others willing to help. Thanks for your suggestion

Your MainWindow is derived from QMainWindow. Yet within its constructor you create an instance of/local variable QMainWindow. This does not make sense.

@JonB I got it thank you. Is there any easy way to read data from txt and plot it?

@suslucoder
Well, this has nothing at all to do with reading text or plotting. First you need to get a sensible main window going.

At a guess you intend your MainWindow to be the main window; you don't want to create some other main window instance. So where you have

  QMainWindow window;
  window.setCentralWidget(chartView);
  window.resize(820, 600);
  window.show();

you probably want to do this on your this instance:

  setCentralWidget(chartView);
  resize(820, 600);
  show();

And then your C++ main() is the place to declare

MainWindow mainWindow;

Okey thank u
