Txt Coordinates into chart...
 |
Hi guys, I'm currently making a GUI which displays a graph. At the moment it reads coordinates within an array in the code:
public int datax[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};
public int datay[] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1};
I need it to take these coordinates from a txt file, which I'm having trouble with.
So far I've made it read in a txt file and output to a text area like this:
public void readFile() {
// Disable read button
readFile.setEnabled(false);
// Dimension data structure
getNumberOfLines();
data = new String[numLines];
// Read file
readTheFile();
// Output to text area
textArea.setText(data[0] + "\n");
for(int index=1; index < data.length;index++)
textArea.append(data[index] + "\n");
// Rnable open button
openFile.setEnabled(true);
}
My code to plot the coordinates using datasets is this:
//Configure dataset
int n = 10;
Dataset dataset = new Dataset (1, 2, n);
for (int k = 0; k < n; ++k)
dataset.set(0, 0, k, datax[k]);
for (int k = 0; k < n; ++k)
dataset.set(0, 1, k, datay[k]);
I need datax and datay to be read in from the txt file though which is formatted simply x val, y val [per line]
3, 4
2, 6
5, 9 etc..
Even if it read the file into an array, then outputted this to the graph, that would work! I know this should be straightforward, but I just can't see how to do it. Some areas of Java I get, others I definately don't :cry: Can anyone possibly suggest a solution?
Thanks
Lev

It seems like all you need to do is read a basic tutorial about file I/O and how to parse that infomation into an array or vector?
There's lot to choose from, consult google.

I've looked through whats on Google, all I'm looking for is something that will feed (parse) the output of the file reader into the datax and datay arrays. My Java is terrible!

>My Java is terrible!
So do something about it. Come on kiddo, how hard can it be, read in a file, use the whitespace or comma as a delimiter, push them into a vector then plot them.
Simple as pie.

Can anyone other than this guy give me some advice for the coding? When you've been thrown in at the deep end with Java it isn't 'simple as pie'.... I think it must be something like datax.add(data.toIntArray()); :-S

Like I said, now is the time to take responsibility for yourself and stop being spoon fed. Grow up and do it yourself.
If you don't know how, then you should have been paying more attention in class instead of looking for nekid ladeeze.

Start with a buffered reader:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
The parsing is the only part that might cause you trouble, but if you use a StringTokenizer then you should have no problem at all.

-Ummm ok? Thanx for that mom?
You gotta be joking right? It's simple stuff, I don't see what da problem is? Do your own homework kiddo:eek:

>Don't be a hypocrite. You made a comment worse than I did except in a different context.
Huh? What are you going on about?
>It's simple stuff just like the stuff you post.
Aaaaaha ha, thanx for helping me tho, I appreciate that?
>It's not my homework and I'm not a 'kiddo'.
I wasn't referring to you :rolleyes:, and I use the word kiddo in a derogatory sense.
ThanQ
P.S can't we just kiss and make up.... prettie please. I much prefer it when we're not fighting. Plus I bet it annoys Dani
