[Qt-interest] real time strip chart

Syam:

  That, unfortunately, is the difference between a truly high-quality
  interface and one that is perceived by its developer as being
  "good enough" but perceived by everyone else (including the
  customers) as "shoddy".

  Turning again to my Nokia example, Nokia perceived S60 as
  being "good enough". And so it was until Apple showed the
  world what a truly high-quality interface looked like. Then, the
  rest of the world started seeing S60 as just being "shoddy".

  5 or 10 FPS would look positively lousy on a strip chart that's
  moving at 5 cm/second. That's jumps of 10 or 5 mm! Do you
  think *ANYONE* would think that was smooth animation?

Hi All,

I'm developing a QT application which includes a real time chart (with several (8 or more) traces), similar to an ECG monitor. Traces should move on the monitor with a speed of about 5cm/sec.
Well, how 'frequently' do you really need your plot to be updated? Once in 100ms or 200ms (i.e. 10 fps or 5fps) is enough?
If that's the case, then you can use Qwt (QwtPlot class). I am using it and it works quite fine. You might need to do some manual management
of data arrays for efficiency though.


regards,

Syam
