Hello,

I am currently trying to display incoming live data on a WCartesianChart widget. I get two values to plot, date/time on X-axis and the sensor data on Y-axis.

I have created a WStandardItemModel with 32 rows and 2 columns and added it to chart as below,

std::shared_ptr<WStandardItemModel> model = std::make_shared<WStandardItemModel>(32, 2);
std::unique_ptr<NumericItem> prototype = std::make_unique<NumericItem>();

model->setItemPrototype(std::move(prototype));
model->setHeaderData(0, WString("X"));
model->setHeaderData(1, WString("Y"));

auto chart = this->addWidget(std::make_unique<WCartesianChart>());
chart->setModel(model);

Finally, I have created a WDataSeries and added it to chart as below,

std::unique_ptr<WDataSeries> s = std::make_unique<WDataSeries>(1, SeriesType::Line);

chart->addSeries(std::move(s));

With above code, I am able to plot only 32 sensor values, but beyond that, the chart stops loading any value. Because this is live data, what code changes should I do to keep loading new values so that the chart keeps plotting the incoming live data?

Any inputs or code examples to solve the plotting of live data are highly appreciated!
