How to plot, in Javascript and on a D3.js line graph, real time time data coming from web socket messages via stomp.js?


Using Javascript I need to invoke a web socket (using stomp.js ...), and plot the real time data on a D3.js line graph.

Here you are my actual code ...

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

   <style>
    body { font: 12px Arial;}

    path {
        stroke: steelblue;
        stroke-width: 2;
        fill: none;
    }

    .axis path,
    .axis line {
        fill: none;
        stroke: grey;
        stroke-width: 1;
        shape-rendering: crispEdges;
    }
   </style>

       client = Stomp.client(urlServer);
       client.connect("guest" , "Aekieh6F" , connectCallBack, errorCallback);

       plotLineGraph (dataLineGraph);

       // *** Manage the connection ...
       function connectCallBack(x) {

      }


     </script>
 </body>
</html>

You can copy / paste and try to execute ( ... shoud be work ...).

I'm able to consume messages from the stream as you can see from the alert or watching the web browser console but I don't know how to put these informations on a dynamic line graph like this one http://jsfiddle.net/peDzT/.

How may I add data in my dataLineGraph array on the line graph and how may I refresh it at every new data is added in my vector?

Note that the plotLineGraph funtions works if I use it with "static" data loaded one time.

Any suggestions / example will be appreciated !!!

Solution

  • I've cleaned up and refactored your code a good bit to show you an example implementation. In it I'm plotting time vs. b_400_Hz since I'm not sure which signal you are after. I've commented the code below pretty well, and it's runn-able, so just ask if you have any questions:
