I am using dynamic data display library to view a dynamic integer value coming in at frequent intervals and plotting it as a linegraph ('line1') onto a chartplotter named 'plotter'. What I want is to have a way to erase all the data from the chartplotter when I uncheck the checkbox and start plotting again once i check it back. I thought I might be able to accomplish it with plotter.Children.Remove(line1), but it does not erase the old data. Instead it plots over the old data again and I have double data lines. Here is the code example (includes some pseudo codes) that I have so far.
ObservableDataSource<System.Windows.Point> source1=new ObservableDataSource<System.Windows.Point>();
LineGraph line1=new LineGraph(source1);
line1.Name = "Data1";
int i=0;
start a timer to CaptureData...
CaptureData(....,...)
{
if a CheckBox is checked...()
{
if (i == 0)
{
plotter.Children.Add(line1);
}
double graph_x = Convert.ToDouble(i);
double graph_y = Convert.ToDouble(datapoint that I have);
System.Windows.Point p1 = new System.Windows.Point(graph_x, graph_y);
source1.AppendAsync(Dispatcher, p1);
i++;
}
}
Once the checkBox is unchecked
{
if (i != 0)
{
i=0;
plotter.Children.Remove(line1);
}
}
}
This is the linegraph that I am getting now with data starting to plot again at the beginning, but the old data is still hanging in there. What I want to achieve is a clean new graph without the old line present. I don't have the minimum points to post an image.
