This Qt C++ application leverages the QCustomPlot library to create dynamic and interactive data visualizations. By incorporating a rich set of QCustomPlot features, including point selection, plotting, axis customization, zoom, and area selection, the application offers a robust platform for data exploration. To enhance functionality, custom modifications have been made to the QCustomPlot library, enabling precise point selection and other tailored interactions.
The application prioritizes code clarity and efficiency through the exclusive use of code-based GUI development. This approach fosters clean code practices, increased reusability, and accelerated development cycles compared to traditional drag-and-drop design methods. However, the current fixed-size layout presents limitations that will be addressed in future iterations to explore dynamic layout solutions and provide a comprehensive comparison of different approaches.
-
Data Handling:
- Generate random data: Create synthetic data for testing and visualization purposes.
- Import/export data: Read data from Excel files and write plot data to Excel format.
-
Plot Customization:
- Plot types: Support various plot types (e.g., line, scatter, bar) for diverse data representation.
- Axis control: Customize axis scaling, tick positions, and orientation (e.g., reverse X-axis) for tailored visualizations.
- Zoom and pan: Explore data interactively by zooming in/out and panning across the plot.
- Area selection: Select specific regions of the plot for focused analysis.
-
User Interaction:
- Point selection: Precisely select data points on the plot for detailed inspection.
- Image export: Capture the plot as an image for documentation or sharing.
- Context menu: Access additional functionalities and options through a right-click menu.
-
Additional Features:
- Custom QCustomPlot modifications: Enhancements to the underlying library for specialized visualizations or performance optimizations.
-
Flexibility and customization:
- Easily modify and adapt the GUI to meet changing requirements without being constrained by visual design tools.
-
Reusability:
