# AqDiagram
Library to create simple diagrams. Work in progress.
A diagram can contain multiple curves.
## Example Graphs
### Example 1
![Example image](https://gitea.aqbanking.de/martin/aqdiagram/raw/branch/master/doc/example-1.jpg)
## Building AqDiagram
Download and unpack tar.gz file, CD into the unpacked folder and build like this:
```
mkdir build
cd build
gwbuild -s ..
gwbuild -p
gwbuild -Btm2builder (not needed with newer versions of gwenbuild)
gwbuild -jNN (with NN number of parallel processes, e.g. 4 for quadcore cpu)
sudo gwbuild -i
```
## Code Examples
### Simple Graph with a Single Curve
```
AQDG_GRAPH *g;
AQDG_GRAPH_DATAPAIR_LIST *dpList;
AQDG_DRAW_CONTEXT *dc;
AQDG_OBJECT *graphObject;
g=AQDG_TimeGraph_new("Title", "Subtitle", "Value", "mm", 0);
/* get data to be shown (insert your function here) */
dpList=CREATE_DATA_FOR_GRAPH();
/* add single curve as line graph */
AQDG_TimeGraph_AddCurve(g, "Testdata", AQDG_GRAPH_TYPE_LINE, dpList);
/* setup ticks for X and Y axis (use auto-calculated upper and lower limit) */
AQDG_TimeGraph_SetupTicks(g, 0, 0.0, 0.0);
/* draw graph as PNG file (here with 800x600 pixels) */
dc=AQDG_Draw_ContextCairo_Png_new("/tmp/testgraph.png", 800, 600);
graphObject=AQDG_GraphWidget_new(NULL, AQDG_OBJECT_OPTIONS_STRETCHX | AQDG_OBJECT_OPTIONS_STRETCHY, dc);
AQDG_Object_SetWidth(graphObject, 800);
AQDG_Object_SetHeight(graphObject, 600);
/* use default pens and fonts */
AQDG_GraphWidget_SetupDefaultPens(graphObject);
AQDG_GraphWidget_SetupDefaultFonts(graphObject);
/* finish creating the PNG file */
AQDG_GraphWidget_FinishWithGraph(graphObject, g);
return 0;
```
### Graph with a Bar Graph and a Derived Line Curve
```
AQDG_GRAPH *g;
AQDG_GRAPH_DATAPAIR_LIST *dpList;
AQDG_GRAPH_DATAPAIR_LIST *derivedDpList;
AQDG_DRAW_CONTEXT *dc;
AQDG_OBJECT *graphObject;
g=AQDG_TimeGraph_new("Title", "Subtitle", "Value", "mm", 0);
/* get data to be shown (insert your function here) */
dpList=CREATE_DATA_FOR_GRAPH();
/* add first curve as bar graph */
AQDG_TimeGraph_AddCurve(g, "Testdata", AQDG_GRAPH_TYPE_BARS, dpList);
/* use a data modification function on initial data (here: accumulate) */
derivedDpList=AQDG_Data_Accumulate(dpList);
/* add 2nd curve with accumulated data as line graph */
AQDG_TimeGraph_AddCurve(g, "Accumulated", AQDG_GRAPH_TYPE_LINE, derivedDpList);
/* setup ticks for X and Y axis (use auto-calculated upper and lower limit) */
AQDG_TimeGraph_SetupTicks(g, 0, 0.0, 0.0);
/* draw graph as PNG file (here with 800x600 pixels) */
dc=AQDG_Draw_ContextCairo_Png_new("/tmp/testgraph.png", 800, 600);
graphObject=AQDG_GraphWidget_new(NULL, AQDG_OBJECT_OPTIONS_STRETCHX | AQDG_OBJECT_OPTIONS_STRETCHY, dc);
AQDG_Object_SetWidth(graphObject, 800);
AQDG_Object_SetHeight(graphObject, 600);
/* use default pens and fonts */
AQDG_GraphWidget_SetupDefaultPens(graphObject);
AQDG_GraphWidget_SetupDefaultFonts(graphObject);
/* finish creating the PNG file */
AQDG_GraphWidget_FinishWithGraph(graphObject, g);
return 0;
