QCustomPlot Discussion and Comments

In the past we have the removeData and removeDataBefore functions. But it seems gone in the new version.
So How can we remove the old data points from a graph to prevent memory overflow?

look in the changelog, there is the new data interface with graph ->data() ->remove...

I am also missing this feature. There is nothing called graph ->data() ->remove

There is.

Sorry! I was trying to access
plot ->graph(0)->data() ->clear();
instead of
plot ->graph(i)->data() .data() ->clear();

Thanks for the quick reply

But your first line is also correct, due to the -> operator of QSharedPointer:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qsharedpointer.html#operator--gt

You don't need to explicitly call .data() on QSharedPointer, you can directly use

plot->graph(0)->data()->clear(); 

no no no,I test and find that

plot->graph(i)->data().data()->clear();

plot->graph(0)->data()->clear();

Has anyone found a better way to solve the problem of excessive data leading to continuous memory growth? Or is it allowed to write the previous data to the disk?
