class MainWindow has no member 'customPlot'

[Arend]

Hello,

When I implement the code below I get the error: 'class MainWindow' has no member named 'customPlot'
What can I do to solve this?

Regards,
Arend (absolute beginner)

Try removing the keyword this before customPlot

void MainWindow::on_pushButtonSwap_clicked()
{
    // generate some data:
    QVector<double> x(101), y(101); 
    for (int i=0; i<101; ++i) {
      x[i] = i/50.0 - 1; // x goes from -1 to 1
      y[i] = x[i]*x[i]; // let's plot a quadratic function
    }
    customPlot->addGraph();
    customPlot->graph(0)->setData(x, y);
    customPlot->xAxis->setLabel("x");
    customPlot->yAxis->setLabel("y");
    customPlot->xAxis->setRange(-1, 1);
    customPlot->yAxis->setRange(0, 1);
    customPlot->replot();
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButtonSwap_clicked()
{
    // generate some data:
    QVector<double> x(101), y(101); 
    for (int i=0; i<101; ++i) {
      x[i] = i/50.0 - 1; // x goes from -1 to 1
      y[i] = x[i]*x[i]; // let's plot a quadratic function
    }
    customPlot->addGraph();
    customPlot->graph(0)->setData(x, y);
    customPlot->xAxis->setLabel("x");
    customPlot->yAxis->setLabel("y");
    customPlot->xAxis->setRange(-1, 1);
    customPlot->yAxis->setRange(0, 1);
    customPlot->replot();
}

if customPlot is defined in one of the header files, if not you need to declare an object of type QCusomPlot named customPlot in MainWindow class.

this->customPlot

this->customPlot

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

means that the class MainWindow has a member named customPlot, and in this case it does not exists.

Thanks for your reply but when I remove this then i get:
/Users/..../mainwindow.cpp:33: error: 'customPlot' was not declared in this scope

Declare it in MainWindow class

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();
 
private slots:
    void on_pushButtonSwap_clicked();
 
private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QCustomPlot *customPlot;
};

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
    
public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();
    
private slots:
    void on_pushButtonSwap_clicked();

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QCustomPlot *customPlot;
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And new it in MainWindow's constructor

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    customPlot = new QCustomPlot(this);
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    customPlot = new QCustomPlot(this);
}

Thanks! Now it works.

Why did you use pointer and not normal member? Needless use of the heap.
