addition of option "scatter w/o lines"

[jojo535275]

Hello,

First, thanks a lot for this great tool ! I am using it to monitor an serial output from an FPGA.

Using the serial plotter! When i send as x axis a sin(x) and as y axis a cos(x) i get the following plot.

Here i will prefer to see an empty circle ( classic Lissajous figures ) ! Will it be possible to add in the plot tab (next to "scatter") option, a new option of scatter with no lines joining the points of the curve !

Can be named "scatter without lines" , "scatter w/o lines" or "scatter line free" ?

Thanks and have a nice day.

That's on my todo list. I need a different graph type in qcustomplot to implement that.

I was think looking at setting the color to fully transparent (alpha=0) in plottab.cpp

So when the "new option" is ticked, we could execute something like: currGraph->setPen(QPen(QColor(0, 0, 0, 0))); // Set the line color to fully transparent

But take your time to do it you way ;-)

That's a really good idea! It's much more easier to implement it. Thanks!

hello,

Thanks a lot for this update. It works great! If you want, you can have a look at how the Icestudio community will use your tool to have fun with their fpgas ;-).
