Detailed Description

The Knob Widget.

The QwtKnob widget imitates look and behaviour of a volume knob on a radio. It contains a scale around the knob which is set up automatically or can be configured manually (see QwtAbstractScale). Automatic scrolling is enabled when the user presses a mouse button on the scale. For a description of signals, slots and other members, see QwtAbstractSlider.

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

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, inherited]

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

void QwtDoubleRange::setRange ( double  vmin,

) [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.

See also:
scaleDraw()
void QwtAbstractScale::setScaleEngine ( QwtScaleEngine scaleEngine) [inherited]
