Qt Charts with ignition gui plugin
Hello every one :D i had a problem with running Qt Charts on a ignition gui plugin, i mentioned it in a previous question https://answers.gazebosim.org/questio...
but now i found out that it is a common issue in Qt Charts itself, it dose not run with QGuiApplication and requires QApplication and ignition gui uses the QGuiApplication, but i tried to modify it and replace it with QApplication and it worked
....................................................
but of course it might be an invalid solution, as i don't know how it will affect the other parts of the ignition gui so , is there is any other ideas can i do to run qt charts components on QApplication without affecting the other parts of the applicaton ?
Update
ok, I modified the Application.hh & Application.cc and replaced the QGuiApplication with QApplication and modified the CMakeLists files (QApplication requires the Qt5Widgets library).
it seems to be good, the test cases are fine, i tested the ign-gui & ign-gazebo and this is the results 100% success in ign-gui , 97% success in ign-gazebo (this is the same percentage for me before the modifying)
it tested on version 3 of both of them, ign-gazebo3 & ign-gui3
I moved your other answer to the question under an "Update" header 😉
That sounds great, thank you for testing all that! Unfortunately, that change would break ABI, so we can't add it to Blueprint (
ign-gui2) or Citadel (ign-gui3). So you're welcome to open a PR against the next Ignition version, Dome, which is currently thedefaultbranch ofign-gui👍 Thanks!
