The multiple histogram element displays the evolution of multiple values on the time axis.

Configure

Ensure the graphics library is included and initialised according to the configuration procedure.

myMultiple.dDefine(0, 0, x, y,
    "cos", -128, 128, 1, myColours.black, // 1st series: name, min, max, colour
    "sin", -128, 128, 1, myColours.grey, // 2nd series: name, min, max, colour
    "", 0, 0, 0, 0, // 3rd series: name, min, max, unit, colour
    "", 0, 0, 0, 0, // 4th series: name, min, max, unit, colour
    64, 4, // marksX sectionsY
    true); // continuous

The required parameters are

  • The first line sets the x-y coordinates and the width and height of the graphic;

  • The second line sets the name, minimum, maximum, unit and colour of the first series of values.

The optional parameters are

  • The third line sets the name, minimum, maximum, unit and colour of the second series of values;

  • The fourth line sets the name, minimum, maximum, unit and colour of the optional third series of values;

  • The fifth line sets the name, minimum, maximum, unit and colour of the optional fourth series of values;

  • The sixth line sets the period between two measures in ms, default is 0 for none;

  • The seventh line sets the marks on the x-axis every number of measures and splits the y-axis into a given number of sections;

  • The eighth line sets the continuity, with the same options as for the Histogram.

Note

For monochrome and colour e-paper screens, ensure the selected colours are supported.

myMultiple.draw(valueA,
    valueB,
    valueC,
    valueD);

draw() sends the new values of the corresponding series.

  • Only the first line with value valueA is required.

  • All the other lines with values valueB, valueC and valueD are optional.

Example

This is the core of the code from example Graphics_Multiple.ino. The example provided targets a monochrome panel.

void displayMultiple()
{
    myScreen.setOrientation(myOrientation);
    myScreen.clear();

    uint16_t x, y, dx, dy;

    x = myScreen.screenSizeX();
    y = myScreen.screenSizeY();
    dx = x / 5;
    dy = y / 5;

    gMultiple myMultiple;
    myMultiple.dDefine(0, dy, x, y - dy,
                       "cos", -128, 128, 1, myColours.black, // 1st series: name, min, max, colour
                       "sin", -128, 128, 1, myColours.grey, // 2nd series: name, min, max, colour
                       "", 0, 0, 0, 0, // 3rd series: name, min, max, colour
                       "", 0, 0, 0, 0, // 4th series: name, min, max, colour
                       64, 4, // marksX sectionsY
                       true); // continuous

    myScreen.selectFont(fontMedium);
    myScreen.gText(0, 0, "Multiple");

    int32_t valueA = 0;
    int32_t valueB = 0;

    for (uint16_t count = 255; count > 0; count--)
    {
        valueA = cos32x100(count * 200);
        valueB = sin32x100(count * 200);

        myMultiple.draw(valueA, valueB);
        myScreen.flush();
    }
}
