qnite

qnite is a charting library that provides a really high level API (via QML) to customize and render interactive charts in your Qt applications.

Building and Testing

There are currently two supported build systems, Qbs and CMake.

Qbs

To use Qbs you must have configured it previously with qbs setup-toolchains and qbs setup-qt, see the official docs for more information.

Assuming you have setup a Qt profile named qt-5-9-8 you can start a build with:

mkdir build
cd build
qbs build profile:qt-5-9-8 -f ..

This will also build tests and examples.

To only build the library you need to specify the product qnite:

qbs build -p qnite profile:qt-5-9-8 -f ..

To run tests or examples you need to specify the product:

qbs run -p plots
qbs run -p tst_qniteartist

To know the list of runnable products:

qbs list-products profile:qt-5-9-8 -f ..

CMake

To use CMake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

This will build only the library, examples are not built by default.

In case you want to build the examples you must specify the target:

cmake --build . --target examples

Tests are run with CTest and BUILD_TESTING must be set at config time, to run them:

cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=ON ..
cmake --build .
ctest --output-on-failure

Roadmap

  • provide a step-by-step tutorial
  • provide the high-level API documentation for available charts type
  • provide a simple tutorial to implement your own chart using low-level components
