使用iPhone的核心图，在x轴上绘制日期 [英] Using core plot for iPhone, drawing date on x axis

问题描述

我有一个包含 NSDate 和 NSNumber 值的字典数组。我想在X轴上绘制日期。
对于绘图我需要提供xRanges以绘制一些小数值。我不明白如何向xRange（低和长度）提供 NSDate 值。

I have available an array of dictionary that contains NSDate and NSNumber values. I wanted to plot date on X axis. For plotting I need to supply xRanges to plot with some decimal values. I don't understand how can I supply NSDate values to xRange (low and length).

什么应该在这种方法中：

And what should be there in this method:

-(NSNumber *)numberForPlot:(CPPlot *)plot field:(NSUInteger)fieldEnum recordIndex:(NSUInteger)index

我的意思是我的日期值将如何返回 NSNumber ？我想我应该在那里使用一些间隔，但应该是什么样的确切转换？
任何人都可以解释一下在xAxis上绘制日期的确切要求是什么？

I mean how my date value will be returned as NSNumber? I think I should use some interval over there, but what should be the exact conversion? Can any one explain me what are the exact requirement to plot the date on xAxis?

我在一半的视图中绘制我的情节。

I am plotting my plot in half of the view.

推荐答案

在这里，DatePlot在iOS上运行。不要忘记检查它是否正确。

Here you go, DatePlot working on iOS. Don't forget to check it as correct.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.

    // If you make sure your dates are calculated at noon, you shouldn't have to 
    // worry about daylight savings. If you use midnight, you will have to adjust
    // for daylight savings time.
    NSDate *refDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:31556926 * 10];
    NSTimeInterval oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60;

    // Invert graph view to compensate for iOS coordinates
    CGAffineTransform verticalFlip = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1,-1);
    self.view.transform = verticalFlip;

     // allocate the graph within the current view bounds
    graph = [[CPTXYGraph alloc] initWithFrame: self.view.bounds];

    // assign theme to graph
    CPTTheme *theme = [CPTTheme themeNamed:kCPTDarkGradientTheme];
    [graph applyTheme:theme];

    // Setting the graph as our hosting layer
    CPTGraphHostingView *hostingView = [[CPTGraphHostingView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];

    [self.view addSubview:hostingView];

    hostingView.hostedGraph = graph;

    graph.paddingLeft = 20.0;
    graph.paddingTop = 20.0;
    graph.paddingRight = 20.0;
    graph.paddingBottom = 150.0;

    // setup a plot space for the plot to live in
    CPTXYPlotSpace *plotSpace = (CPTXYPlotSpace *)graph.defaultPlotSpace;
    NSTimeInterval xLow = 0.0f;
    // sets the range of x values
    plotSpace.xRange = [CPTPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPTDecimalFromFloat(xLow)
                                                   length:CPTDecimalFromFloat(oneDay*5.0f)];
    // sets the range of y values
    plotSpace.yRange = [CPTPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPTDecimalFromFloat(0.0) 
                                                   length:CPTDecimalFromFloat(5)];

    // X-axis parameters setting
    CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (id)graph.axisSet;
    axisSet.xAxis.majorIntervalLength = CPTDecimalFromFloat(oneDay);
    axisSet.xAxis.minorTicksPerInterval = 0;

    axisSet.xAxis.majorTickLineStyle = lineStyle;
    axisSet.xAxis.minorTickLineStyle = lineStyle;
    axisSet.xAxis.axisLineStyle = lineStyle;
    axisSet.xAxis.minorTickLength = 5.0f;
    axisSet.xAxis.majorTickLength = 7.0f;
    axisSet.xAxis.labelOffset = 3.0f;

    // added for date
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    dateFormatter.dateStyle = kCFDateFormatterShortStyle;
    CPTTimeFormatter *timeFormatter = [[[CPTTimeFormatter alloc] initWithDateFormatter:dateFormatter] autorelease];
    timeFormatter.referenceDate = refDate;
    axisSet.xAxis.labelFormatter = timeFormatter;

    // Y-axis parameters setting    
    axisSet.yAxis.majorIntervalLength = CPTDecimalFromString(@"0.5");
    axisSet.yAxis.minorTicksPerInterval = 2;
    axisSet.yAxis.orthogonalCoordinateDecimal = CPTDecimalFromFloat(oneDay); // added for date, adjusts y line
    axisSet.yAxis.majorTickLineStyle = lineStyle;
    axisSet.yAxis.minorTickLineStyle = lineStyle;
    axisSet.yAxis.axisLineStyle = lineStyle;
    axisSet.yAxis.minorTickLength = 5.0f;
    axisSet.yAxis.majorTickLength = 7.0f;
    axisSet.yAxis.labelOffset = 3.0f;


    // This actually performs the plotting
    CPTScatterPlot *xSquaredPlot = [[[CPTScatterPlot alloc] init] autorelease];

    CPTMutableLineStyle *dataLineStyle = [CPTMutableLineStyle lineStyle];
    //xSquaredPlot.identifier = @"X Squared Plot";
    xSquaredPlot.identifier = @"Date Plot";

    dataLineStyle.lineWidth = 1.0f;
    dataLineStyle.lineColor = [CPTColor redColor];
    xSquaredPlot.dataLineStyle = dataLineStyle;
    xSquaredPlot.dataSource = self;

    CPTPlotSymbol *greenCirclePlotSymbol = [CPTPlotSymbol ellipsePlotSymbol];
    greenCirclePlotSymbol.fill = [CPTFill fillWithColor:[CPTColor greenColor]];
    greenCirclePlotSymbol.size = CGSizeMake(2.0, 2.0);
    xSquaredPlot.plotSymbol = greenCirclePlotSymbol;  

    // add plot to graph
    [graph addPlot:xSquaredPlot];

    // Add some data
    NSMutableArray *newData = [NSMutableArray array];
    NSUInteger i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
        NSTimeInterval x = oneDay*i;
        id y = [NSDecimalNumber numberWithFloat:1.2*rand()/(float)RAND_MAX + 1.2];
        [newData addObject:
         [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

          y, [NSNumber numberWithInt:CPTScatterPlotFieldY], 
          nil]];
        NSLog(@"%@",newData);
    }
    plotData = [newData retain];
