Detailed Description

A scale engine for linear scales.

The step size will fit into the pattern $\left\{ 1,2,5\right\} \cdot 10^{n}$, where n is an integer.


Member Typedef Documentation

typedef QFlags<Attribute> QwtScaleEngine::Attributes [inherited]

Layout attributes.


Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtScaleEngine::Attribute [inherited]

Layout attributes

See also:
setAttribute(), testAttribute(), reference(), lowerMargin(), upperMargin()
Enumerator:
NoAttribute 

No attributes.

IncludeReference 

Build a scale which includes the reference() value.

Symmetric 

Build a scale which is symmetric to the reference() value.

Floating 

The endpoints of the scale are supposed to be equal the outmost included values plus the specified margins (see setMargins()). If this attribute is *not* set, the endpoints of the scale will be integer multiples of the step size.

Inverted 

Turn the scale upside down.


Member Function Documentation

QwtInterval QwtLinearScaleEngine::align ( const QwtInterval interval,
double  stepSize 
) const [protected]

Align an interval to a step size.

The limits of an interval are aligned that both are integer multiples of the step size.

Parameters:
intervalInterval
stepSizeStep size
Returns:
Aligned interval
QwtScaleEngine::Attributes QwtScaleEngine::attributes ( ) const [inherited]

Return the scale attributes

See also:
Attribute, setAttributes(), testAttribute()
void QwtLinearScaleEngine::autoScale ( int  maxNumSteps,
double &  x1,
double &  x2,
double &  stepSize 
) const [virtual]

Align and divide an interval

Parameters:
maxNumStepsMax. number of steps
x1First limit of the interval (In/Out)
x2Second limit of the interval (In/Out)
stepSizeStep size (Out)
See also:
setAttribute()

Implements QwtScaleEngine.

QwtInterval QwtScaleEngine::buildInterval ( double  v) const [protected, inherited]

Build an interval for a value.

In case of v == 0.0 the interval is [-0.5, 0.5], otherwide it is [0.5 * v, 1.5 * v]

QList< double > QwtLinearScaleEngine::buildMajorTicks ( const QwtInterval interval,
double  stepSize 
) const [protected]

Calculate major ticks for an interval.

Parameters:
intervalInterval
stepSizeStep size
Returns:
Calculated ticks
void QwtLinearScaleEngine::buildMinorTicks ( const QList< double > &  majorTicks,
int  maxMinSteps,
double  stepSize,
QList< double > &  minorTicks,
QList< double > &  mediumTicks 
) const [protected]

Calculate minor/medium ticks for major ticks.

Parameters:
majorTicksMajor ticks
maxMinStepsMaximum number of minor steps
stepSizeStep size
minorTicksArray to be filled with the calculated minor ticks
mediumTicksArray to be filled with the calculated medium ticks
void QwtLinearScaleEngine::buildTicks ( const QwtInterval interval,
double  stepSize,
int  maxMinSteps,
QList< double >  ticks[QwtScaleDiv::NTickTypes] 
) const [protected]

Calculate ticks for an interval.

Parameters:
intervalInterval
stepSizeStep size
maxMinStepsMaximum number of minor steps
ticksArrays to be filled with the calculated ticks
See also:
buildMajorTicks(), buildMinorTicks
bool QwtScaleEngine::contains ( const QwtInterval interval,
double  value 
) const [protected, inherited]

Check if an interval "contains" a value

Parameters:
intervalInterval
valueValue
See also:
QwtScaleArithmetic::compareEps()
double QwtScaleEngine::divideInterval ( double  intervalSize,
int  numSteps 
) const [protected, inherited]

Calculate a step size for an interval size

Parameters:
intervalSizeInterval size
numStepsNumber of steps
Returns:
Step size
QwtScaleDiv QwtLinearScaleEngine::divideScale ( double  x1,
double  x2,
int  maxMajSteps,
int  maxMinSteps,
double  stepSize = 0.0 
) const [virtual]

Calculate a scale division.

Parameters:
x1First interval limit
x2Second interval limit
maxMajStepsMaximum for the number of major steps
maxMinStepsMaximum number of minor steps
stepSizeStep size. If stepSize == 0, the scaleEngine calculates one.

Implements QwtScaleEngine.

double QwtScaleEngine::lowerMargin ( ) const [inherited]
Returns:
the margin at the lower end of the scale The default margin is 0.
See also:
setMargins()
double QwtScaleEngine::reference ( ) const [inherited]
Returns:
the reference value
See also:
setReference(), setAttribute()
void QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute ( Attribute  attribute,
bool  on = true 
) [inherited]

Change a scale attribute

Parameters:
attributeAttribute to change
onOn/Off
See also:
Attribute, testAttribute()
void QwtScaleEngine::setAttributes ( Attributes  attributes) [inherited]

Change the scale attribute

Parameters:
attributesSet scale attributes
See also:
Attribute, attributes()
void QwtScaleEngine::setMargins ( double  lower,
double  upper 
) [inherited]

Specify margins at the scale's endpoints.

Parameters:
lowerminimum distance between the scale's lower boundary and the smallest enclosed value
upperminimum distance between the scale's upper boundary and the greatest enclosed value

Margins can be used to leave a minimum amount of space between the enclosed intervals and the boundaries of the scale.

Warning:
See also:
upperMargin(), lowerMargin()
void QwtScaleEngine::setReference ( double  r) [inherited]

Specify a reference point.

Parameters:
