Detailed Description

A scale engine for date/time values.

QwtDateScaleEngine builds scales from a time intervals. Together with QwtDateScaleDraw it can be used for axes according to date/time values.

Years, months, weeks, days, hours and minutes are organized in steps with non constant intervals. QwtDateScaleEngine classifies intervals and aligns the boundaries and tick positions according to this classification.

QwtDateScaleEngine supports representations depending on Qt::TimeSpec specifications. The valid range for scales is limited by the range of QDateTime, that differs between Qt4 and Qt5.

Datetime values are expected as the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00 Universal Coordinated Time - also known as "The Epoch", that can be converted to QDateTime using QwtDate::toDateTime().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtDateScaleEngine::QwtDateScaleEngine ( Qt::TimeSpec timeSpec = Qt::LocalTime )

explicit

Constructor.

The engine is initialized to build scales for the given time specification. It classifies intervals > 4 weeks as >= Qt::Month. The first week of a year is defined like for QwtDate::FirstThursday.

Parameters

timeSpec Time specification

See also: setTimeSpec(), setMaxWeeks(), setWeek0Type()

Definition at line 751 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

QwtDateScaleEngine::~QwtDateScaleEngine ( )

virtual

Member Function Documentation

QDateTime QwtDateScaleEngine::alignDate	(	const QDateTime &	dateTime,
		double	stepSize,
		QwtDate::IntervalType	intervalType,
		bool	up
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Align a date/time value for a step size

For Qt::Day alignments there is no "natural day 0" - instead the first day of the year is used to avoid jumping major ticks positions when panning a scale. For other alignments ( f.e according to the first day of the month ) alignDate() has to be overloaded.

Parameters

dateTime	Date/time value
stepSize	Step size
intervalType	Interval type
up	When true dateTime is ceiled - otherwise it is floored

Returns: Aligned date/time value

Definition at line 1112 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

void QwtDateScaleEngine::autoScale	(	int	maxNumSteps,
		double &	x1,
		double &	x2,
		double &	stepSize
	)		const

virtual

Align and divide an interval

The algorithm aligns and divides the interval into steps.

Datetime interval divisions are usually not equidistant and the calculated stepSize can only be used as an approximation for the steps calculated by divideScale().

Parameters

maxNumSteps	Max. number of steps
x1	First limit of the interval (In/Out)
x2	Second limit of the interval (In/Out)
stepSize	Step size (Out)

		double	x2,
		int	maxMajorSteps,
		int	maxMinorSteps,
		double	stepSize = `0.0`
	)		const

virtual

Calculate a scale division for a date/time interval.

Parameters

x1	First interval limit
x2	Second interval limit
maxMajorSteps	Maximum for the number of major steps
maxMinorSteps	Maximum number of minor steps
stepSize	Step size. If stepSize == 0, the scaleEngine calculates one.

Returns: Calculated scale division

Reimplemented from QwtLinearScaleEngine.

QwtDate::IntervalType QwtDateScaleEngine::intervalType	(	const QDateTime &	minDate,
		const QDateTime &	maxDate,
		int	maxSteps
	)		const

virtual

Classification of a date/time interval division

Parameters

minDate	Minimum ( = earlier ) of the interval
maxDate	Maximum ( = later ) of the interval
maxSteps	Maximum for the number of steps

Returns: Interval classification

Definition at line 869 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

int QwtDateScaleEngine::maxWeeks ( ) const

Returns: Upper limit for the number of weeks, when an interval can be classified as Qt::Week.

See also: setMaxWeeks(), week0Type()

Definition at line 855 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

void QwtDateScaleEngine::setMaxWeeks ( int weeks )

Set a upper limit for the number of weeks, when an interval can be classified as Qt::Week.

The default setting is 4 weeks.

Parameters

weeks Upper limit for the number of weeks

Note: In business charts a year is often devided into weeks [1-52]

See also: maxWeeks(), setWeek0Type()

Definition at line 845 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

void QwtDateScaleEngine::setTimeSpec ( Qt::TimeSpec timeSpec )

Set the time specification used by the engine

Parameters

timeSpec Time specification

See also: timeSpec(), setUtcOffset(), toDateTime()

Definition at line 769 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

void QwtDateScaleEngine::setUtcOffset ( int seconds )

Set the offset in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time

Parameters

seconds Offset in seconds

Note: The offset has no effect beside for the time specification Qt::OffsetFromUTC.

See also: QDate::utcOffset(), setTimeSpec(), toDateTime()

Definition at line 793 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

void QwtDateScaleEngine::setWeek0Type ( QwtDate::Week0Type week0Type )

Sets how to identify the first week of a year.

Parameters

week0Type Mode how to identify the first week of a year

See also: week0Type(), setMaxWeeks()

Note: week0Type has no effect beside for intervals classified as QwtDate::Week.

Definition at line 819 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

Qt::TimeSpec QwtDateScaleEngine::timeSpec ( ) const

Returns: Time specification used by the engine

See also: setTimeSpec(), utcOffset(), toDateTime()

QDateTime QwtDateScaleEngine::toDateTime ( double value ) const

Translate a double value into a QDateTime object.

For QDateTime result is bounded by QwtDate::minDate() and QwtDate::maxDate()

Returns: QDateTime object initialized with timeSpec() and utcOffset().

See also: timeSpec(), utcOffset(), QwtDate::toDateTime()

Definition at line 1294 of file qwt_date_scale_engine.cpp.

int QwtDateScaleEngine::utcOffset ( ) const
