Interactive Line Graph or Scatter Plot #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The plasmoid displays a line graph or scatter plot of the data returned by the 
data engine. This could be shown in a separate dialog that is displayed when 
the user clicks the plasmoid.

Basic: a static image displaying the plot
Ideal: an interactive plot widget that allows zooming, scrolling, etc.

An interactive plot cannot be achieved in the QML plasmoid until a QML 
linegraph widget is available within KDE which will not occur until after the 
release of Qt5. Other QML plot widgets seem to be emerging but it is not clear 
what would be required to use them within a plasmoid.

It might be possible to generate and return a static plot from the data engine.

An interactive plot can definitely be achieved with a C++ plasmoid but would 
require maintaining that code as the rest of KDE shifted toward a QML approach 
and ultimately abandoned C++ for the majority of its plasmoids.
