Accelerometer value bar chart
We will put a canvas in each axis.
We will use a graph to show the historical values of the sensor.
1// Graph 2;(function(){ 3 var app = this.app || (this.app={}); 4 5 // A bar chart for - Max Value to + Max Value. 6 app.Graph = (function(){ 7 function Graph(canvasId, maxValue){ 8 this.canvas = document.getElementById(canvasId); 9 if (this.canvas) { 10 this.context = this.canvas.getContext('2d'); 11 } 12 13 // set the Y unit scale. 14 this.unit = this.canvas.height / 2 / maxValue; // divide by 2 because half for + and half for -. 15 } 16 Graph.prototype.drawBar = function(x, value) { 17 var c = this.context; 18 c.beginPath(); 19 c.moveTo(x, this.canvas.height/2); // middle 20 c.lineTo(x, this.canvas.height/2 - value * this.unit); 21 c.lineWidth = 3; 22 c.strokeStyle = "#222"; 23 c.stroke(); 24 c.closePath(); 25 }; 26 Graph.prototype.render = function(dataArray) { 27 this.canvas.width = this.canvas.width; 28 for (var i=0, len=dataArray.length; i<len; i++) { 29 this.drawBar(i*5, dataArray[i]); 30 } 31 } 32 return Graph; 33 })(); 34}).call(this);
At last, we use the Graph to render the historical data.
What’s next? We’re going to take a look at “Inspecting the gyroscope sensor”.
