B4J Library [B4X] [XUI] xGraph Class and b4xlib

Current version 1.6

The xGraph Class and B4XLib allows graphic analysis of signals.
It works on all three platforms: B4A, B4i and B4J.

The graph holds a given number of curves (10 by default) with a given number of samples (10000 by default) these values can be defined in the Designer.
All curves have the same number of samples with the same X signal.

What can be done:
- Draw up to 4 curves on the same graph.
- Show values when moving the cursor on the graph.
- Zooming, either with the cursor or setting in the code.
- Different scale modes.
- Different methods on curves.
-- Copy a curve to another location.
-- Add a value to a curve.
-- Multiply a curve by a value.
-- Add two curves and save the result in another curve.
-- Multiply two curves and save the result in another curve.
-- Calculate the integral of a curve and save the result in another curve.
-- Calculate the derivative of a curve and save the result in another curve.

Attached the xGraphDemo.zip file contains three demo program using the xGraph.b4xlib library,
the xGraph.b4xlib library file, the xGraph.bas file and the xGraph.xml file.

The xGraph library needs the XUI, iXUI, or jXUI libraries.
The xGraphDemo programs need the XUI Views.b4xlib library.

        The Smooth method takes the mean value of the number of samples given in Span around a sample and saves it at the same index.
        Number of samples must be an odd number, if an even number is enterd its value is incremented by 1.

Can it be used to display real-time data (Dynamic Graph) ?

You can you xGraph for displaying realtime data that has a slow sample rate i.e >= 0.5 sample per second. I use it for plotting mains power voltage frequency etc at an update rate of 2 seconds. I make the x axis range -2 Hours and reverse the data.The latest data is then shown at the right hand side of the graph. The CPU load with 3600 samples is negligible.

The reason I used xGraph was that it had an inbuilt cursor and was simple to use. It also provides for multiple y axis ranges on the same graph space. It does exactly what I need.

The first code snippet is the initialisation. I have left the test data in, but you could initialise the arrays to whatever you like.

B4X:
Private Sub InitGraphX1
    Private i As Int
 
    xGraph1.CurveYName(0) = "Voltage RMS"
    xGraph1.SetScaleManu(0, 220, 270)
    xGraph1.CurveYName(1) = "Frequency Hz"
    xGraph1.SetScaleManu(1, 48.5, 51.5)
 
    xGraph1.CurvesToDisplay.Initialize2(Array As Int(0, 1))
 
    Private x0 = -120 * 30 As Int
    Samples = NWServ.NO_SAMPLES
    xGraph1.NbSamples = Samples + 1
    For i = 0 To Samples
        xGraph1.CurveX(i) = (i + x0) / 30
        xGraph1.CurveY(0, i) = 1 * SinD(i * 0.1) + 247
        xGraph1.CurveY(1, i) = 0.1 * CosD(i * 0.1)
    Next
    xGraph1.DrawGraph
End Sub

This next snippet is all you need to do to update the graph with realtime data.

B4X:
    ptrOut = ptrIn

   For i = 0 To Main.Samples - 1
       If ptrOut = NO_SAMPLES Then
           ptrOut = 0
       End If
      
       Main.xGraph1.CurveY(0, i) = arrayVrms(ptrOut)
       Main.xGraph1.CurveY(1, i) = arrayFreq(ptrOut)
      
       Main.xGraph2.CurveY(0, i) = arraySupplykW(ptrOut)
       Main.xGraph2.CurveY(1, i) = arraySolarkW(ptrOut)
       Main.xGraph2.CurveY(2, i) = arrayQuality(ptrOut)
       Main.xGraph2.CurveY(3, i) = arrayLoadkW(ptrOut)
       ptrOut = ptrOut + 1
   Next
   Main.xGraph1.DrawGraph
   Main.xGraph2.DrawGraph
h

Too easy!!

In this code NO_SAMPLES is a constant of 3600. (2 hours of 2 second data)

I have uploaded the project so you can see the layout for the graphs.

Best regards

Rob

PS I had a seniors moment and got the code for right hand origin wrong. I have updated it, but I haven't bothered changing the zip file because the Layout is still the same.

The xGraph Class and B4XLib allows graphic analysis of signals.

The graph holds a given number of curves (10 by default) with a given number of samples (10000 by default) these values can be defined in the Designer.
All curves have the same number of samples with the same X signal.

What can be done:
- Draw up to 4 curves on the same graph.
- Show values when moving the cursor on the graph.
- Zooming, either with the cursor or setting in the code.
- Different scale modes.
- Different methods on curves.
-- Copy a curve to another location.
-- Add a value to a curve.
-- Multiply a curve by a value.
-- Add two curves and save the result in another curve.
-- Multiply two curves and save the result in another curve.
-- Calculate the integral of a curve and save the result in another curve.
-- Calculate the derivative of a curve and save the result in another curve.

Attached the xGraphDemo.zip file contains three demo program using the xGraph.b4xlib library,
the xGraph.b4xlib library file, the xGraph.bas file and the xGraph.xml file.

The xGraph library needs the XUI, iXUI, or jXUI libraries.
The xGraphDemo programs need the XUI Views.b4xlib library.

Hi Klause

If you ever get a chance do you think that you could add the following feature to xGraph, (probably applies to xChart as well):

- Do not plot values that are set to "not a number" (NaN) Matlab does this and its handy for prefilling a graph buffer before valid data is received or when a displayed calc goes bad. Gaps in the trace a better than trying to plot infinity or - infinity.

Best regards

Rob

I could add two new properties GraphWithMissingSamples and MissingSampleValue.

GraphWithMissingSamples, when set to True, tests for missing samples. When set to False avoids wasting time to check for missing sample values.
Two different DrawCurves routines.

MissingSampleValue = a specific value representing a missing sample. Default value = 1000000000

It would look like this:

No, not currently.
The xGraph object can contain up to 10 curves.
But only 4 out of the 10 can be displayed at the same time.
The colors for these 4 curves are defined internaly.
Then it depends on what color to change?
One color for each of the 10 curves or the colors for the 4 visible curves.

Thanks for your reply, I wanted to change the scale, curve colors or editing the legend I mean instead of "0:" which comes before curve name like Temperature not 0:Temperature, generally I meant some graphical modifications.

You can disable the curve number with:
B4X:
xGraph1.DisplayCurveIndex = False
If you use the xGraph.bas module you can set the CurveColor array as Public like this:
B4X:
Public CurveColor(4) As Int

I will set it to Public in the next update.

...generally I meant some graphical modifications
What kind of graphical modifications?

Thanks for the hints they were great and improved my plot. Just sometimes even on your example, when I zoom the window also becomes half width as shown on the attachment. Is it normal or me again making mistakes? and is there a touch focus type i mean with two fingers getting near each other zooming in and when fingers getting far zooming out?

I used BAS and could do changes I wanted to do just I dont know how to change Width (ratio of curve to graph: distance shown with arrow to maximize area used for curve)

This is normal and it's due to the automatic scale.
Depending on the difference between the first and last value and a given scale the number of divisions changes.
And, as I want to keep the with of the divisions constant, the length of the graph is different.
Many years ago I had written a graphic analysis program in VB. The graphs could be saved as images and transfered to Word with square beeing either 1cm or 5mm.
and is there a touch focus type i mean with two fingers getting near
No, and the zoom function works only on the X axis.

How about this: how can I decrease this gap between graph panel (minimizing the distance shown as Width in upper photo I posted)

It would need to redesign the drawing function.
Whatever I did I could not make it in a way that whenever I zoom the window is not scaled again (decreasing graph size) do you have any example to give me so that I know how to resolve this problem.
