Detailed Description

An abstract base class for slider widgets.

QwtAbstractSlider is a base class for slider widgets. It handles mouse events and updates the slider's value accordingly. Derived classes only have to implement the getValue() and getScrollMode() members, and should react to a valueChange(), which normally requires repainting.


Member Enumeration Documentation

Scroll mode

See also:
getScrollMode()
Enumerator:
ScrNone 

Scrolling switched off. Don't change the value.

ScrMouse 

Change the value while the user keeps the button pressed and moves the mouse.

ScrTimer 

Automatic scrolling. Increment the value in the specified direction as long as the user keeps the button pressed.

ScrPage 

Automatic scrolling. Same as ScrTimer, but increment by page size.

Member Function Documentation

double QwtDoubleRange::exactPrevValue ( ) const [protected, inherited]

Returns the exact previous value.

double QwtDoubleRange::exactValue ( ) const [protected, inherited]

Returns the exact value.

The exact value is the value which QwtDoubleRange::value would return if the value were not adjusted to the step raster. It differs from the current value only if fitValue() or incValue() have been used before. This function is intended for internal use in derived classes.

void QwtAbstractSlider::fitValue ( double  value) [virtual, slot]

Set the slider's value to the nearest integer multiple of the step size.

Parameters:
valueValue
See also:
setValue(), incValue()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

virtual void QwtAbstractSlider::getScrollMode ( const QPoint &  pos,
ScrollMode scrollMode,
int &  direction 
) const [protected, pure virtual]

Determine what to do when the user presses a mouse button.

This function is abstract and has to be implemented by derived classes. It is called on a mousePress event. The derived class can determine what should happen next in dependence of the position where the mouse was pressed by returning scrolling mode and direction.

Parameters:
pospoint where the mouse was pressed
Return values:
scrollModeThe scrolling mode
directiondirection: 1, 0, or -1.

Implemented in QwtDial, QwtKnob, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

virtual double QwtAbstractSlider::getValue ( const QPoint &  p) [protected, pure virtual]

Determine the value corresponding to a specified poind.

This is an abstract virtual function which is called when the user presses or releases a mouse button or moves the mouse. It has to be implemented by the derived class.

Parameters:
ppoint

Implemented in QwtDial, QwtKnob, QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

void QwtDoubleRange::incPages ( int  nPages) [virtual, inherited]

Increment the value by a specified number of pages.

Parameters:
nPagesNumber of pages to increment. A negative number decrements the value.
Warning:
The Page size is specified in the constructor.
void QwtAbstractSlider::incValue ( int  steps) [virtual, slot]

Increment the value by a specified number of steps.

Parameters:
stepsnumber of steps
See also:
setValue()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

bool QwtAbstractSlider::isReadOnly ( ) const

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Returns:
true if read only
See also:
setReadOnly()
bool QwtAbstractSlider::isValid ( ) const [inline]
See also:
QwtDblRange::isValid()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtAbstractSlider::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent *  e) [protected, virtual]

See also:
setRange()

Reimplemented in QwtCounter.

double QwtDoubleRange::minValue ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the value at the first border of the range.

minValue returns the value which has been specified as the first parameter in setRange().

Parameters:
eMouse event
Qt::Orientation QwtAbstractSlider::orientation ( ) const

Orientation
See also:
setOrientation()
int QwtDoubleRange::pageSize ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the page size in steps.

bool QwtDoubleRange::periodic ( ) const [inherited]

Returns true if the range is periodic.

See also:
setPeriodic()
double QwtDoubleRange::prevValue ( ) const [protected, inherited]

Returns the previous value.

void QwtDoubleRange::rangeChange ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Notify a change of the range.

This virtual function is called whenever the range changes. The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented in QwtDial, QwtCounter, and QwtSlider.

int QwtAbstractSlider::scrollMode ( ) const [protected]

sa ScrollMode

void QwtAbstractSlider::setMass ( double  val) [virtual]

Set the slider's mass for flywheel effect.

If the slider's mass is greater then 0, it will continue to move after the mouse button has been released. Its speed decreases with time at a rate depending on the slider's mass. A large mass means that it will continue to move for a long time.

Derived widgets may overload this function to make it public.

Parameters:
valNew mass in kg
See also:
mass()

Reimplemented in QwtWheel.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setMouseOffset ( double  offset) [protected]
See also:
mouseOffset()
void QwtAbstractSlider::setOrientation ( Qt::Orientation  o) [virtual]

Set the orientation.

Parameters:
oOrientation. Allowed values are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical.

Reimplemented in QwtSlider, and QwtWheel.

void QwtDoubleRange::setPeriodic ( bool  tf) [inherited]

Make the range periodic.

When the range is periodic, the value will be set to a point inside the interval such that

point = value + n * width 

if the user tries to set a new value which is outside the range. If the range is nonperiodic (the default), values outside the range will be clipped.

Parameters:
tftrue for a periodic range
void QwtAbstractSlider::setPosition ( const QPoint &  p) [protected, virtual]

Move the slider to a specified point, adjust the value and emit signals if necessary.

void QwtDoubleRange::setRange ( double  vmin,
double  vmax,
double  vstep = 0.0,
int  pageSize = 1 
) [inherited]

Specify range and step size.

Parameters:
vminlower boundary of the interval
vmaxhigher boundary of the interval
vstepstep width
pageSizepage size in steps
Warning:
  • A change of the range changes the value if it lies outside the new range. The current value will *not* be adjusted to the new step raster.
  • vmax < vmin is allowed.
  • If the step size is left out or set to zero, it will be set to 1/100 of the interval length.
  • If the step size has an absurd value, it will be corrected to a better one.
void QwtAbstractSlider::setReadOnly ( bool  readOnly) [virtual, slot]

En/Disable read only mode

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Parameters:
readOnlyEnables in case of true
See also:
isReadOnly()
void QwtDoubleRange::setStep ( double  vstep) [inherited]

Change the step raster.

Parameters:
vstepnew step width
Warning:
The value will not be adjusted to the new step raster.

Reimplemented in QwtCounter.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setTracking ( bool  enable)

Enables or disables tracking.

If tracking is enabled, the slider emits a valueChanged() signal whenever its value changes (the default behaviour). If tracking is disabled, the value changed() signal will only be emitted if:

  • the user releases the mouse button and the value has changed or
  • at the end of automatic scrolling.

Tracking is enabled by default.

Parameters:
enabletrue (enable) or false (disable) tracking.
void QwtAbstractSlider::setUpdateTime ( int  t)

Specify the update interval for automatic scrolling.

Parameters:
tupdate interval in milliseconds

Parameters:
validtrue/false
See also:
QwtDblRange::isValid()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setValue ( double  val) [virtual, slot]

This function can be used to move the slider to a value which is not an integer multiple of the step size.

Parameters:
valnew value
See also:
fitValue()

Reimplemented from QwtDoubleRange.

void QwtAbstractSlider::sliderMoved ( double  value) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user moves the slider with the mouse.
