Android Graph Coordinatesystem

Question

I am trying to implement a graph view in my android app. It should be able to enter a function. (eg.: f(x1) = x², or f(x) = sin(x) + 5)

For that i will need a coordinate system where i can later draw my function after calculating about 50 points. It should later look similar to that: graph image

I already tried it with the android libary GraphView and i was able to draw something but in this libary i don't have a coordinate so that my graph is "somewhere";

        int num = 400;  
    GraphViewData[] data = new GraphViewData[num];  
    GraphViewData[] data2 = new GraphViewData[num]; 
    double x = -100;
    double y = 0;

    //Coordinate system x
    for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {  
           data[i] = new GraphViewData(x, y);  
           x = x + 0.5;
        } 

     x = 0;
     y = -100;
    for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {  
           data2[i] = new GraphViewData(x, y);  
           y = y + 0.5;
        } 

     x = -100;
     y = 0;

    GraphViewData[] data3 = new GraphViewData[num]; 
    //Coordinate system y
    for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {               
           y = (x * x);
           data3[i] = new GraphViewData(x, y);  
           x = x + 0.5;
        } 
    // sin curve

    for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {  
       y = Math.sin(x);
       y = x * x + 50;
       data2[i] = new GraphViewData(x, y);  
       x = x + 0.2;
    }   


    GraphView graphView = new LineGraphView(  
          this  
          , ""  
    );  


    // add data  
    graphView.addSeries(new GraphViewSeries(data)); 
    graphView.addSeries(new GraphViewSeries(data2));
    graphView.addSeries(new GraphViewSeries(data3)); 
    // set view port, start=-100, size=200
    graphView.setViewPort(-100, 200); 

    graphView.setScrollable(false);  
    graphView.setScalable(false);  

    LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.graph1);  
    layout.addView(graphView);

With data1 and data2 i am able to draw a Coordinate system: first

but as soon as i add data3 it looks like: (because of the huge amount) second

Any idea on that ? What is the best and easiest way to do this ? (I don't need multiple lines or scalable) I guess this is a wrong library because there is no correct way to draw this, is it?

Thanks !

EDIT: working fine with: graphView.setManualYAxisBounds(100, -100); working

Thanks alot jjo64

try to fix the y axis bounds with graphView.setManualYAxisBounds(100, -100)

WOW ! thanks, looks like it works pretty nice. i will later post my result. What a luck you read this :) Am i allowed to use it in my app with proper credit to you ? – zFr3eak Nov 20 '13 at 14:12
there's a donate button on the project page, if you want to ;-) http://android-graphview.org/#donate – appsthatmatter Nov 21 '13 at 14:22
