PolarDrawings

A tiny project playing drawings in polar system.

This is a upgraded DynamicSineWaveView with a better constructed code, and draw things in polar coordinator system (To make everything round).

Usage

1. Copy the View (no resource needed) and files in data to your project.
2. Layout with the me.tankery.demo.polardrawings.DynamicSineWaveView
3. Add waves for the view programatically.

The layout:

<me.tankery.demo.polardrawings.DynamicSineWaveView
    android:id="@+id/view_panel"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

The addWave method.

/**
 * Add new wave to the view.
 *
 * The first added wave will become the 'base wave', which ignored the color & stroke, and
 * other wave will multiple with the 'base wave'.
 *
 * @param amplitude wave amplitude, relative to view, range from 0 ~ 0.5
 * @param cycle contains how many cycles in scene
 * @param speed space per second, relative to view. X means the wave move X times of width per second
 * @param color the wave color, ignored when add the 'base wave'
 * @param stroke wave stroke width, in pixel, ignored when add the 'base wave'
 * @return wave count (exclude the base wave).
 */
public int addWave(float amplitude, float cycle, float speed, int color, float stroke);

How to use in code:

wavesView = (DynamicSineWaveView) findViewById(R.id.view_sine_wave);
wavesView.addWave(1.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 0, 0); // Fist wave is for the shape of other waves.
wavesView.addWave(0.2f, 4.5f, 0.2f, getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_blue_dark), stroke);
wavesView.addWave(0.3f, 3.5f, 0.3f, getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_blue_dark), stroke);
wavesView.addWave(0.5f, 3.0f, 0.5f, getResources().getColor(android.R.color.holo_red_dark), stroke);
wavesView.startAnimation();

The data of waves means:

{1.0f, 0.5f, 0},    // Base wave, full amplitude, half cycle, no speed.
{0.2f, 4.5f, 0.2f}, // bottom wave, small amplitude, 4.5 cycle, slow speed.
{0.3f, 3.5f, 0.3f}, // middle wave, middle amplitude, 3.5 cycle, middle speed.
{0.5f, 3.0f, 0.5f}, // top wave, full amplitude, 3.0 cycle, fast speed.

If you need to stop the animation, call:

wavesView.stopAnimation();

What's more, you can even change the amplitude when need (useful when you need to response for a voice input):

wavesView.setBaseWaveAmplitudeScale(1);
