QPolygonF error

[Daniil S.]

hi, does anyone have a solution for this
I have two polygons (high_polygon, low_polygon), that I want to combine (QPolygonF::united(QPolygonF)), usually it works good.
These are graphs and to combine them, I add -2 flags to the polygons (after combining - remove them)

but in some cases it’s buggs, I don’t have an understanding

I expect this result

but the output is

[Pl45m4]

@Daniil-S

Maybe it has to do with the negative numbers?!
Just a guess...

Because in the 2nd picture it looks like the polygon leaves the area and is connected to the next point again

[Daniil S.]

@Pl45m4 i dont think so, it works, but not every time

[Pl45m4]

@Daniil-S

What means "every time"?
How do you create these polygons? Does anything change from time to time?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

And please provide a minimal, compilable example so we can reproduce the issue.

[Daniil S.]

@Pl45m4, @Christian-Ehrlicher yes, if i change, for example one point of intersected low

QVector<QPointF> Graphic::HtpType(QVector<QPointF> low_graphic, QVector<QPointF> high_graphic)
{
  QVector<QPointF> combined, intersected_low, after_high;

  QPointF before_enter(-1,-1), after_exit(-1,-1);
  auto low_iterator(low_graphic.begin());
  while (low_iterator != low_graphic.end()) {  

    if (low_iterator->x() < high_graphic.first().x()) {

      combined.push_back(*low_iterator);
      before_enter = *low_iterator;
    }
    else if (low_iterator->x() >= high_graphic.first().x() && low_iterator->x() <= high_graphic.last().x()) {

      intersected_low.push_back(*low_iterator);

    } else if (low_iterator->x() > high_graphic.last().x()) {

      if (after_exit == QPointF(-1,-1))  
        after_exit = *low_iterator;

      after_high.push_back(*low_iterator);
    }
    low_iterator++;

    combined.push_back(QPointF(high_graphic.first().x(), -1));
  }

  if (after_exit.y() != -1)
    low_polygon.append(QPointF(high_graphic.last().x(), GetTimeProjection(high_graphic.last().x(), intersected_low.last(), after_exit)));
  else
    low_polygon.append(QPointF(high_graphic.last().x(), -1));
  low_polygon.append(QPointF(high_graphic.last().x(), -2));

  for(int i(0); i < low_polygon.count(); i++)
    if (low_polygon.at(i).y() == -1)
      low_polygon[i].ry() = 0;

  low_polygon.push_back(low_polygon.first());

  high_polygon.prepend(QPointF(high_graphic.first().x(), -2));
  high_polygon.append(QPointF(high_graphic.last().x(), -2));

  high_polygon.push_back(high_polygon.first());

    QPolygonF united_low(low_polygon.united(high_polygon));
    united_low.erase(std::remove_if(united_low.begin(), united_low.end(), [](QPointF p) { return p.y() == -2; }), united_low.end());

    if (united_low.last() == united_low.first())
      united_low.removeLast();

    Q_FOREACH(QPointF point, united_low)
      if (combined.last() != point)
        combined.push_back(point);

  QPointF after_high_point(high_graphic.last().x(), -1);
  if (after_exit.y() != -1)
    after_high_point.ry() = GetTimeProjection(high_graphic.last().x(), intersected_low.last(), after_exit);

  if (combined.last() != after_high_point)
    combined.push_back(after_high_point);

  combined.append(after_high);

  return combined;
}

points leading to this result

[Christian Ehrlicher]

Again: please provide a minimal, compilable example with the correct points.

[Daniil S.]

@Christian-Ehrlicher the above is complete code of the combine method,
here are the points of the first call to this method, the result of the combine is passed to the second call, which results in an error, first call works correctly

[Christian Ehrlicher]

I don't see anything but a class function which does some calculation. What input points do you use? Why do you need the function above? You said QPolygonF::united(QPolygonF) triggers this error so write a reproducer which does use exactly only this function and nothing else.

[Daniil S.]

@Christian-Ehrlicher I wrote what points I use, in this method call "united", don't understand what else is needed

QPolygonF united_low(low_polygon.united(high_polygon));
united_low.erase(std::remove_if(united_low.begin(), united_low.end(), [](QPointF p) { return p.y() == -2; }), united_low.end());

this function searches for the intersection of the upper (overlayed) graph with the lower, creates two polygons from the intersection and the upper graph and unite them, after which it clears the extra flags and adds the final result of the merge

three steps of the loop, the first does not use the "HtrType" method, the other two use

first step
high QVector(QPointF(79,31), QPointF(182.303,139), QPointF(643,0), QPointF(673,31))
low QVector(QPointF(0,-1), QPointF(1000,-1))

second step
high QVector(QPointF(293,0), QPointF(406.102,225), QPointF(556,0))
low QVector(QPointF(0,-1), QPointF(79,-1), QPointF(79,31), QPointF(182.303,139), QPointF(182.303,139), QPointF(643,0), QPointF(643,0), QPointF(673,31), QPointF(673,-1), QPointF(1000,-1))

third step
high QVector(QPointF(293,0), QPointF(406.102,225), QPointF(556,0))
low QVector(QPointF(0,-1), QPointF(79,-1), QPointF(79,31), QPointF(182.303,139), QPointF(182.303,139), QPointF(293,105), QPointF(338.857,91.2255), QPointF(406.102,225), QPointF(534.345,32.5048), QPointF(556,26), QPointF(643,0), QPointF(643,0), QPointF(673,31), QPointF(673,-1), QPointF(1000,-1))

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@Daniil-S said in QPolygonF error:

don't understand what else is needed

If you want us to take a look on the problem then

• create two QPolygonF with your points
• call unite() on them
• tells us what's wrong

Noone will step through your code above, especially when the input is unknown.

@Christian-Ehrlicher

move the slider and graph will sometimes bug

[Daniil S.]

@Christian-Ehrlicher what you need or a smaller example?

[JonB]

@Daniil-S said in QPolygonF error:

or a smaller example?

Do you really need about 100 lines of code to draw a polygon to illustrate whatever your problem is? Have you reduced this to some minimum which exemplifies the problem? Any example to illustrate a point which is longer than about 20 lines is suspect....

[Christian Ehrlicher]

I will not debug your code, as @JonB said (and also me some time ago) a simple list with the polygons as input and the (wrong) and correct output is the way to go.

[Daniil S.]

  QVector<QPointF> high, low;
  high << QPointF(293,0) << QPointF(406.102, 225) << QPointF(556,0);
  low << QPointF(79,-1) << QPointF(182.303, 57) << QPointF(673,-1);

  qDebug() << HtpType(HtpType(low, high), high);

  QVector<QPointF> high1, low1;
  high1 << QPointF(293,0) << QPointF(406.102, 225) << QPointF(556,0);
  low1 << QPointF(79,-1) << QPointF(182.303, 60) << QPointF(673,-1);

  qDebug() << HtpType(HtpType(low1, high1), high1);

first qDebug() (second point of low Y = 57) bad result

QVector(QPointF(79,-1), QPointF(182.303,57), QPointF(293,44), QPointF(293,0), QPointF(293,44), QPointF(313.881,41.5388), QPointF(293,0), QPointF(313.881,41.5388), QPointF(406.102,225), QPointF(546.601,14.1078), QPointF(556,13), QPointF(556,0), QPointF(406.102,225), QPointF(313.881,41.5388), QPointF(556,-1), QPointF(673,-1))

second qDebug() (second point of low Y = 60) right result

QVector(QPointF(79,-1), QPointF(182.303,60), QPointF(293,46), QPointF(314.79,43.3487), QPointF(406.102,225), QPointF(545.85,15.2349), QPointF(556,14), QPointF(556,-1), QPointF(673,-1))

to combine two plots, I need to use this method, because graphs has flags that cannot be changed during combine, so the intersection is first searched and it is combined to the top

[Christian Ehrlicher]

This is a testcase similar to what we want to see:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);

  QPolygonF p1 = QVector<QPointF>({{1., 0.}, {2., 1.}, {3., 1.}, {4., 1.}});
  QPolygonF p2 = QVector<QPointF>({{2., 2.}, {3., 2.}, {4., 5.}, {3., 2.}});
  QPolygonF united = p1.united(p2);
  QPolygonF expected = QVector<QPointF>({{1., 0.}, {2., 1.}, {3., 1.}, {4., 1.}, {1., 0.}, {2., 2.}, {3., 2.}, {4., 5.}, {3., 2.}, {2., 2.}, {1., 0.}});
  qDebug() << (united == expected);
  qDebug() << united;
  qDebug() << expected;

  return 0;
}

[Daniil S.]

@Christian-Ehrlicher still not what you need?

[kshegunov]

low.united(high).united(high)?

Why the second call? What does calling it only once produce?
