Detailed Description

A 2-D plotting widget.

QwtPlot is a widget for plotting two-dimensional graphs. An unlimited number of plot items can be displayed on its canvas. Plot items might be curves (QwtPlotCurve), markers (QwtPlotMarker), the grid (QwtPlotGrid), or anything else derived from QwtPlotItem. A plot can have up to four axes, with each plot item attached to an x- and a y axis. The scales at the axes can be explicitly set (QwtScaleDiv), or are calculated from the plot items, using algorithms (QwtScaleEngine) which can be configured separately for each axis.

The simpleplot example is a good starting point to see how to set up a plot widget.

Example

The following example shows (schematically) the most simple way to use QwtPlot. By default, only the left and bottom axes are visible and their scales are computed automatically.

#include <qwt_plot.h>
#include <qwt_plot_curve.h>

QwtPlot *myPlot = new QwtPlot("Two Curves", parent);

// add curves
QwtPlotCurve *curve1 = new QwtPlotCurve("Curve 1");
QwtPlotCurve *curve2 = new QwtPlotCurve("Curve 2");

// connect or copy the data to the curves
curve1->setData(...);
curve2->setData(...);

curve1->attach(myPlot);
curve2->attach(myPlot);

// finally, refresh the plot
myPlot->replot();

    if ( itemInfo.canConvert<QwtPlotItem *>() )
        return qvariant_cast<QwtPlotItem *>( itemInfo );

Parameters:

itemInfo Plot item

Returns:: A plot item, when successful, otherwise a NULL pointer.

See also:: itemToInfo()

Definition at line 1168 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::initAxesData ( ) [private]

Initialize axes.

Definition at line 37 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

void QwtPlot::initPlot ( const QwtText & title ) [private]

Initializes a QwtPlot instance.

Parameters:

title Title text

Definition at line 142 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::insertLegend	(	QwtAbstractLegend *	legend,
		QwtPlot::LegendPosition	pos = `QwtPlot::RightLegend`,
		double	ratio = `-1.0`
	)

Insert a legend.

If the position legend is QwtPlot::LeftLegend or QwtPlot::RightLegend the legend will be organized in one column from top to down. Otherwise the legend items will be placed in a table with a best fit number of columns from left to right.

insertLegend() will set the plot widget as parent for the legend. The legend will be deleted in the destructor of the plot or when another legend is inserted.

Legends, that are not inserted into the layout of the plot widget need to connect to the legendDataChanged() signal. Calling updateLegend() initiates this signal for an initial update. When the application code wants to implement its own layout this also needs to be done for rendering plots to a document ( see QwtPlotRenderer ).

Parameters:

legend	Legend
pos	The legend's position. For top/left position the number of columns will be limited to 1, otherwise it will be set to unlimited.
ratio	Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.

Definition at line 927 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

double QwtPlot::invTransform	(	int	axisId,
		int	pos
	)		const

Transform the x or y coordinate of a position in the drawing region into a value.

Parameters:

axisId	Axis index
pos	position

Returns:: Position as axis coordinate

Warning:: The position can be an x or a y coordinate, depending on the specified axis.

Definition at line 371 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

void QwtPlot::itemAttached	(	QwtPlotItem *	plotItem,
		bool	on
	)		`[signal]`

A signal indicating, that an item has been attached/detached

Parameters:

plotItem	Plot item
on	Attached/Detached

QVariant QwtPlot::itemToInfo ( QwtPlotItem * plotItem ) const [virtual]

Build an information, that can be used to identify a plot item on the legend.

The default implementation simply wraps the plot item into a QVariant object. When overloading itemToInfo() usually infoToItem() needs to reimplemeted too.

    QVariant itemInfo;
    qVariantSetValue( itemInfo, plotItem );

Parameters:

plotItem Plot item

Returns:: Plot item embedded in a QVariant

See also:: infoToItem()

Definition at line 1145 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::replot ( ) [virtual, slot]

Redraw the plot.

If the autoReplot option is not set (which is the default) or if any curves are attached to raw data, the plot has to be refreshed explicitly in order to make changes visible.

See also:: updateAxes(), setAutoReplot()

Reimplemented in PlotWidget.

Definition at line 546 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::resizeEvent ( QResizeEvent * e ) [protected, virtual]

Resize and update internal layout

Parameters:

e	Resize event

Definition at line 531 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setAutoReplot ( bool tf = true )

Set or reset the autoReplot option.

If the autoReplot option is set, the plot will be updated implicitly by manipulating member functions. Since this may be time-consuming, it is recommended to leave this option switched off and call replot() explicitly if necessary.

The autoReplot option is set to false by default, which means that the user has to call replot() in order to make changes visible.

Parameters:

tf	`true` or `false`. Defaults to `true`.

See also:: replot()

Definition at line 314 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setAxisAutoScale	(	int	axisId,

	)

Enable autoscaling for a specified axis.

This member function is used to switch back to autoscaling mode after a fixed scale has been set. Autoscaling is enabled by default.

Parameters:

axisId	Axis index
on	On/Off

See also:: setAxisScale(), setAxisScaleDiv(), updateAxes()

Note:: The autoscaling flag has no effect until updateAxes() is executed ( called by replot() ).

Definition at line 423 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setAxisFont	(	int	axisId,
		const QFont &	font
	)

Change the font of an axis.

void QwtPlot::setAxisScale	(	int	axisId,
		double	min,
		double	max,
		double	stepSize = `0`
	)

Disable autoscaling and specify a fixed scale for a selected axis.

In updateAxes() the scale engine calculates a scale division from the specified parameters, that will be assigned to the scale widget. So updates of the scale widget usually happen delayed with the next replot.

Parameters:

axisId	Axis index
min	Minimum of the scale
max	Maximum of the scale
stepSize	Major step size. If `step == 0`, the step size is calculated automatically using the maxMajor setting.

void QwtPlot::setAxisScaleDiv	(	int	axisId,
		const QwtScaleDiv &	scaleDiv
	)

Disable autoscaling and specify a fixed scale for a selected axis.

The scale division will be stored locally only until the next call of updateAxes(). So updates of the scale widget usually happen delayed with the next replot.

Parameters:

axisId	Axis index
scaleDiv	Scale division

See also:: setAxisScale(), setAxisAutoScale()

Definition at line 476 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setAxisScaleDraw	(	int	axisId,

void QwtPlot::setAxisTitle	(	int	axisId,
		const QwtText &	title
	)

Change the title of a specified axis.

Parameters:

axisId	Axis index
title	Axis title

void QwtPlot::setCanvas ( QWidget * canvas )

Set the drawing canvas of the plot widget.

QwtPlot invokes methods of the canvas as meta methods ( see QMetaObject ). In opposite to using conventional C++ techniques like virtual methods they allow to use canvas implementations that are derived from QWidget or QGLWidget.

The following meta methods could be implemented:

replot() When the canvas doesn't offer a replot method, QwtPlot calls update() instead.

borderPath() The border path is necessary to clip the content of the canvas When the canvas doesn't have any special border ( f.e rounded corners ) it is o.k. not to implement this method.

The default canvas is a QwtPlotCanvas

Parameters:

canvas Canvas Widget

See also:: canvas()

Definition at line 217 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setCanvasBackground ( const QBrush & brush )

Change the background of the plotting area.

Sets brush to QPalette::Window of all color groups of the palette of the canvas. Using canvas()->setPalette() is a more powerful way to set these colors.

Parameters:

brush New background brush

void QwtPlot::setFooter ( const QString & text )

Change the text the footer

Parameters:

text	New text of the footer

Definition at line 376 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setFooter ( const QwtText & text )

Change the text the footer

Parameters:

text	New text of the footer

Definition at line 389 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setPlotLayout ( QwtPlotLayout * layout )

Assign a new plot layout.

Parameters:

layout Layout()

See also:: plotLayout()

Definition at line 422 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setTitle ( const QString & title )

Change the plot's title

Parameters:

title New title

Definition at line 332 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

void QwtPlot::setTitle ( const QwtText & title )

Change the plot's title

Parameters:

title New title

Definition at line 345 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

QSize QwtPlot::sizeHint ( ) const [virtual]

Returns:: Size hint for the plot widget

See also:: minimumSizeHint()

Definition at line 484 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

QwtText QwtPlot::title ( ) const

Returns:: Title of the plot

Definition at line 355 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

QwtTextLabel * QwtPlot::titleLabel ( )

Returns:: Title label widget.

Definition at line 361 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

const QwtTextLabel * QwtPlot::titleLabel ( ) const

Returns:: Title label widget.

Definition at line 367 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

double QwtPlot::transform	(	int	axisId,
		double	value
	)		const

Transform a value into a coordinate in the plotting region.

Parameters:

axisId	Axis index
value	value

Returns:: X or Y coordinate in the plotting region corresponding to the value.

Definition at line 388 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

void QwtPlot::updateAxes ( )

Rebuild the axes scales.

In case of autoscaling the boundaries of a scale are calculated from the bounding rectangles of all plot items, having the QwtPlotItem::AutoScale flag enabled ( QwtScaleEngine::autoScale() ). Then a scale division is calculated ( QwtScaleEngine::didvideScale() ) and assigned to scale widget.

When the scale boundaries have been assigned with setAxisScale() a scale division is calculated ( QwtScaleEngine::didvideScale() ) for this interval and assigned to the scale widget.

When the scale has been set explicitly by setAxisScaleDiv() the locally stored scale division gets assigned to the scale widget.

The scale widget indicates modifications by emitting a QwtScaleWidget::scaleDivChanged() signal.

updateAxes() is usually called by replot().
