Detailed Description

Painter object trying to paint incrementally.

Often applications want to display samples while they are collected. When there are too many samples complete replots will be expensive to be processed in a collection cycle.

QwtPlotDirectPainter offers an API to paint subsets ( f.e all additions points ) without erasing/repainting the plot canvas.

On certain environments it might be important to calculate a proper clip region before painting. F.e. for Qt Embedded only the clipped part of the backing store will be copied to a ( maybe unaccelerated ) frame buffer.

Warning
Incremental painting will only help when no replot is triggered by another operation ( like changing scales ) and nothing needs to be erased.

Enumerator
AtomicPainter 

Initializing a QPainter is an expensive operation. When AtomicPainter is set each call of drawSeries() opens/closes a temporary QPainter. Otherwise QwtPlotDirectPainter tries to use the same QPainter as long as possible.

FullRepaint 

When FullRepaint is set the plot canvas is explicitly repainted after the samples have been rendered.

CopyBackingStore 

When QwtPlotCanvas::BackingStore is enabled the painter has to paint to the backing store and the widget. In certain situations/environments it might be faster to paint to the backing store only and then copy the backing store to the canvas. This flag can also be useful for settings, where Qt fills the the clip region with the widget background.

Member Function Documentation

QRegion QwtPlotDirectPainter::clipRegion ( ) const
Returns
Currently set clip region.
See also
setClipRegion(), setClipping(), hasClipping()

Definition at line 152 of file qwt_plot_directpainter.cpp.

void QwtPlotDirectPainter::drawSeries ( QwtPlotSeriesItem seriesItem,
int  from,
int  to 
)

Draw a set of points of a seriesItem.

When observing an measurement while it is running, new points have to be added to an existing seriesItem. drawSeries() can be used to display them avoiding a complete redraw of the canvas.

Setting plot()->canvas()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_PaintOutsidePaintEvent, true); will result in faster painting, if the paint engine of the canvas widget supports this feature.

Parameters
seriesItemItem to be painted
fromIndex of the first point to be painted
toIndex of the last point to be painted. If to < 0 the series will be painted to its last point.

bool QwtPlotDirectPainter::eventFilter ( QObject *  ,
QEvent *  event 
)
virtual

Event filter.

Definition at line 278 of file qwt_plot_directpainter.cpp.

bool QwtPlotDirectPainter::hasClipping ( ) const
Returns
true, when clipping is enabled

Definition at line 126 of file qwt_plot_directpainter.cpp.

void QwtPlotDirectPainter::reset ( )

Close the internal QPainter.

Definition at line 265 of file qwt_plot_directpainter.cpp.

void QwtPlotDirectPainter::setAttribute ( Attribute  attribute,
bool  on 
)

Change an attribute

Parameters
attributeAttribute to change
onOn/Off
See also
Attribute, testAttribute()

Definition at line 87 of file qwt_plot_directpainter.cpp.

void QwtPlotDirectPainter::setClipping ( bool  enable)

En/Disables clipping

Parameters
enableEnables clipping is true, disable it otherwise
See also
hasClipping(), clipRegion(), setClipRegion()

Definition at line 117 of file qwt_plot_directpainter.cpp.

void QwtPlotDirectPainter::setClipRegion ( const QRegion &  region)

Assign a clip region and enable clipping.

Depending on the environment setting a proper clip region might improve the performance heavily. F.e. on Qt embedded only the clipped part of the backing store will be copied to a ( maybe unaccelerated ) frame buffer device.

Parameters
regionClip region

bool QwtPlotDirectPainter::testAttribute ( Attribute  attribute) const
Returns
True, when attribute is enabled
Parameters
attributeAttribute to be tested

Attribute, setAttribute()
