Detailed Description

A class which draws a scale inside the plot canvas.

QwtPlotScaleItem can be used to draw an axis inside the plot canvas. It might by synchronized to one of the axis of the plot, but can also display its own ticks and labels.

It is allowed to synchronize the scale item with a disabled axis. In plots with vertical and horizontal scale items, it might be necessary to remove ticks at the intersections, by overloading updateScaleDiv().

The scale might be at a specific position (f.e 0.0) or it might be aligned to a canvas border.

Example

The following example shows how to replace the left axis, by a scale item at the x position 0.0.

QwtPlotScaleItem *scaleItem =
    new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale, 0.0);
scaleItem->setFont(plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::yLeft)->font());
scaleItem->attach(plot);

plot->enableAxis(QwtPlot::yLeft, false);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtPlotScaleItem::QwtPlotScaleItem	(	QwtScaleDraw::Alignment	alignment = `QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale`,
		const double	pos = `0.0`
	)

explicit

Constructor for scale item at the position pos.

Parameters

alignment	In case of QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale or QwtScaleDraw::TopScale the scale item is corresponding to the xAxis(), otherwise it corresponds to the yAxis().
pos	x or y position, depending on the corresponding axis.

int QwtPlotScaleItem::borderDistance ( ) const

Returns: Distance from a canvas border

		const QRectF &	rect
	)		const

virtual

Draw the scale.

Implements QwtPlotItem.

Definition at line 344 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

QFont QwtPlotScaleItem::font ( ) const

Returns: tick label font

See also: setFont()

Definition at line 194 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

bool QwtPlotScaleItem::isScaleDivFromAxis ( ) const

Returns: True, if the synchronization of the scale division with the corresponding axis is enabled.

QPalette QwtPlotScaleItem::palette ( ) const

Returns: palette

See also: setPalette()

double QwtPlotScaleItem::position ( ) const

Returns: Position of the scale

See also: setPosition(), setAlignment()

int QwtPlotScaleItem::rtti ( ) const

virtual

Returns: QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotScale

Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

Definition at line 92 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

const QwtScaleDiv & QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDiv ( ) const

Returns: Scale division

Definition at line 113 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

const QwtScaleDraw * QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDraw ( ) const

Returns: Scale draw

See also: setScaleDraw()

Definition at line 234 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

QwtScaleDraw * QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDraw ( )

Returns: Scale draw

See also: setScaleDraw()

Definition at line 243 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setAlignment ( QwtScaleDraw::Alignment alignment )

Change the alignment of the scale

The alignment sets the orientation of the scale and the position of the ticks:

QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: horizontal, ticks below
QwtScaleDraw::TopScale: horizontal, ticks above
QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale: vertical, ticks left
QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: vertical, ticks right

For horizontal scales the position corresponds to QwtPlotItem::yAxis(), otherwise to QwtPlotItem::xAxis().

See also: scaleDraw(), QwtScaleDraw::alignment(), setPosition()

Definition at line 331 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setBorderDistance ( int distance )

Align the scale to the canvas.

If distance is >= 0 the scale will be aligned to a border of the contents rectangle of the canvas. If alignment() is QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale, the scale will be aligned to the right border, if it is QwtScaleDraw::TopScale it will be aligned to the bottom (and vice versa),

If distance is < 0 the scale will be at the position().

Parameters

distance Number of pixels between the canvas border and the backbone of the scale.

See also: setPosition(), borderDistance()

Definition at line 294 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setFont ( const QFont & font )

Change the tick label font

See also: font()

Definition at line 181 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setPalette ( const QPalette & palette )

Set the palette

See also: QwtAbstractScaleDraw::draw(), palette()

Definition at line 157 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setPosition ( double pos )

Change the position of the scale

The position is interpreted as y value for horizontal axes and as x value for vertical axes.

The border distance is set to -1.

Parameters

pos	New position

See also: position(), setAlignment()

Definition at line 259 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setScaleDiv ( const QwtScaleDiv & scaleDiv )

Assign a scale division.

When assigning a scaleDiv the scale division won't be synchronized with the corresponding axis anymore.

Parameters

scaleDiv Scale division

See also: scaleDiv(), setScaleDivFromAxis(), isScaleDivFromAxis()

Definition at line 106 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setScaleDivFromAxis ( bool on )

Enable/Disable the synchronization of the scale division with the corresponding axis.

Parameters

on	true/false

See also: isScaleDivFromAxis()

Definition at line 125 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::setScaleDraw ( QwtScaleDraw * scaleDraw )

Set a scale draw.

Parameters

scaleDraw object responsible for drawing scales.

The main use case for replacing the default QwtScaleDraw is to overload QwtAbstractScaleDraw::label, to replace or swallow tick labels.

See also: scaleDraw()

Definition at line 210 of file qwt_plot_scaleitem.cpp.

void QwtPlotScaleItem::updateScaleDiv	(	const QwtScaleDiv &	xScaleDiv,
		const QwtScaleDiv &	yScaleDiv
	)

virtual

Update the item to changes of the axes scale division.

In case of isScaleDivFromAxis(), the scale draw is synchronized to the correspond axis.

Parameters

xScaleDiv	Scale division of the x-axis
yScaleDiv	Scale division of the y-axis

See also: QwtPlot::updateAxes()

Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.
