Draw a point with a number received from a class in another file in C++.

Question

I want to draw a point with a number received from a class in another file.

The value is received, no error, but not drawn.

I'm still a beginner when it comes to C++.

Maps file:

CppMaps::CppMaps(QObject* parent /* = nullptr */):   QObject(parent)
{
        m_map = new Map(BasemapStyle::ArcGISTopographic, this);
        myPointBuilder = new PointBuilder(SpatialReference(6668), this);
        myGraph = new Graphic();
        mySymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbolStyle::Circle, QColor("red"), 10, this);
        myGraphOverLay = new GraphicsOverlay(this);

myGraph->setSymbol(mySymbol);
        myGraphOverLay->graphics()->append(myGraph);

}

CppMaps::~CppMaps()
{
}

MapQuickView* CppMaps::mapView() const
{
    return m_mapView;
}

void CppMaps::setMapView(MapQuickView* mapView)
{
    if (!mapView || mapView == m_mapView)
    {
        return;
    }

m_mapView = mapView;
    m_mapView->setMap(m_map);

m_mapView->graphicsOverlays()->append(myGraphOverLay);
}

void CppMaps::fnGetShow(double lat,double lon)
{
    myPointBuilder->setXY(lon , lat);
    myGraph->setGeometry(myPointBuilder->toGeometry());
}

Sender file:

void Sender::fnSend(){
    CppMaps cppMap;
    cppMap.fnGetShow(lat, lon); //lat = 0
    lon++;
}

fnSend() is running on a one-second cycle in QML.

Couple of things I see that could be going wrong:

1) In your "sender file", it is creating a new instance of CppMaps each time fsSend executes. Is this what you want, or do you want to update the map with new coordinates?

2) Is the spatial reference you are using correct? Your builder uses wkid 6668 - are the coordinates coming in from that coordinate system or do they need to be projected from one coordinate system to another?

3) Not required, but you could bypass the builder and just create a Point directly from the x/y coordinates that come through
