Detailed Description

A class for drawing scales.

QwtScaleDraw can be used to draw linear or logarithmic scales. A scale has a position, an alignment and a length, which can be specified . The labels can be rotated and aligned to the ticks using setLabelRotation() and setLabelAlignment().

After a scale division has been specified as a QwtScaleDiv object using QwtAbstractScaleDraw::setScaleDiv(const QwtScaleDiv &s), the scale can be drawn with the QwtAbstractScaleDraw::draw() member.

QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: The origin is the topmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a vertical line. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the right of the backbone.

QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: The origin is the leftmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a horizontal line Scale marks and labels are drawn below the backbone.

Parameters

pos	Origin of the scale

See also: pos(), setLength()

Definition at line 707 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ move() [2/2]

void QwtScaleDraw::move	(	double	x,
		double	y
	)

inline

See also: move(const QPointF &)

Definition at line 118 of file qwt_scale_draw.h.

Returns: Orientation of the scale

See also: alignment()

◆ pos()

QPointF QwtScaleDraw::pos ( ) const

See also: move(), length()

Definition at line 717 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setAlignment()

void QwtScaleDraw::setAlignment ( Alignment align )

Set the alignment of the scale

Parameters

align Alignment of the scale

The default alignment is QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale

See also: alignment()

Definition at line 322 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setLabelAlignment()

void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelAlignment ( Qt::Alignment alignment )

Change the label flags.

Labels are aligned to the point tick length + spacing away from the backbone.

The alignment is relative to the orientation of the label text. In case of an flags of 0 the label will be aligned depending on the orientation of the scale:

QwtScaleDraw::TopScale: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignTop
QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignBottom
QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale: Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter
QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignVCenter
Changing the alignment is often necessary for rotated labels.

Parameters

alignment Or'd Qt::AlignmentFlags see <qnamespace.h>

See also: setLabelRotation(), labelRotation(), labelAlignment()

Warning: The various alignments might be confusing. The alignment of the label is not the alignment of the scale and is not the alignment of the flags ( QwtText::flags() ) returned from QwtAbstractScaleDraw::label().

Definition at line 969 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setLabelRotation()

void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelRotation ( double rotation )

Rotate all labels.

When changing the rotation, it might be necessary to adjust the label flags too. Finding a useful combination is often the result of try and error.

Parameters

rotation Angle in degrees. When changing the label rotation, the label flags often needs to be adjusted too.

See also: setLabelAlignment(), labelRotation(), labelAlignment().

Definition at line 930 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setLength()

void QwtScaleDraw::setLength ( double length )

Set the length of the backbone.

The length doesn't include the space needed for overlapping labels.

Parameters

length Length of the backbone

See also: move(), minLabelDist()

Definition at line 732 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ updateMap()

void QwtScaleDraw::updateMap ( )
