Error when using object of QChart type

Duc Nguyen

I'm having trouble when using object of QChart type. I want to append points to the chart and make it scrollable but there appears to be some errors in cpp file.

#include "myserialport.h"
#include <QSerialPortInfo>
#include <QDebug>
//#include <QTimer>
#include <QTime>
#include <QDateTime>
#include <math.h>
#include <QtCharts/QValueAxis>
#include <QLine>
#include <QtCharts/QChart>

QT_USE_NAMESPACE
int count=0;
MySerialPort::MySerialPort(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent),m_series(0)
{
    myPort=new QSerialPort;
    serialBuffer = "";
    parsed_data = "";
    temperature_value = 0.0;
    //m_series=0;
}

MySerialPort::~MySerialPort()
{
    delete myPort;
}
double MySerialPort::readData_slot()
{
    QByteArray buff;

    QStringList buffer_split = serialBuffer.split(","); //  split the serialBuffer string, parsing with ',' as the separator
    if(buffer_split.length() < 3){
        buff=myPort->readAll();
        serialBuffer = serialBuffer + QString::fromStdString(buff.toStdString());
        buff.clear();
    }
    else{
        // the second element of buffer_split is parsed correctly, update the temperature value on temp_lcdNumber
        serialBuffer = "";
        //qDebug() << buffer_split<< "\n";
        parsed_data = buffer_split[1];
        //temperature_value = (9/5.0) * (parsed_data.toDouble()) + 32; // convert to fahrenheit
        temperature_value = parsed_data.toDouble(); // celsius
        qDebug() << "Temperature: " << temperature_value << "\n";

        emit receiveData(temperature_value);
    }
    return temperature_value;
}
void MySerialPort::plot_chart(double x, double y)
{
    m_series->append(x,y);  //******ERROR*****
    // need to add scroll here
    QChart chart;   //******ERROR*****
    chart.scroll(x,y);  //******ERROR*****
}

These are my errors:

@Duc-Nguyen Did you add

QT += charts

to your pro file as shown in https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcharts-index.html ?

Duc Nguyen

Thanks for your reply. That's what I forgot to do :(

Duc Nguyen

@jsulm after I added that to my pro file and run the code, an error message appeared:

jsulm

@Duc-Nguyen Please use the debugger to get the stack trace after crash

Duc Nguyen

@jsulm My screen showed this when I started debugger:

@Duc-Nguyen

Is m_series a valid pointer?
Why do you create chart as local variable? You know that it will be deleted as soon as plot_chart() finishes?
