Detailed Description

A class, which displays raster data.

Raster data is a grid of pixel values, that can be represented as a QImage. It is used for many types of information like spectrograms, cartograms, geographical maps ...

Often a plot has several types of raster data organized in layers. ( f.e a geographical map, with weather statistics ). Using setAlpha() raster items can be stacked easily.

QwtPlotRasterItem is only implemented for images of the following formats: QImage::Format_Indexed8, QImage::Format_ARGB32.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef QFlags<ItemAttribute> QwtPlotItem::ItemAttributes [inherited]

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlotRasterItem::CachePolicy

NoCache
renderImage() is called, whenever the item has to be repainted
PaintCache
renderImage() is called, whenever the image cache is not valid, or the scales, or the size of the canvas has changed. This type of cache is only useful for improving the performance of hide/show operations. All other situations are already handled by the plot canvas cache.

The default policy is NoCache

enum QwtPlotItem::ItemAttribute [inherited]

Plot Item Attributes

See also:: setItemAttribute(), testItemAttribute()

Enumerator:

Legend	The item is represented on the legend.
AutoScale	The boundingRect() of the item is included in the autoscaling calculation.

enum QwtPlotRasterItem::PaintAttribute

Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm.

See also:: setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()

Enumerator:

PaintInDeviceResolution

When the image is rendered according to the data pixels ( QwtRasterData::pixelHint() ) it can be expanded to paint device resolution before it is passed to QPainter. The expansion algorithm rounds the pixel borders in the same way as the axis ticks, what is usually better than the scaling algorithm implemented in Qt. Disabling this flag might make sense, to reduce the size of a document/file. If this is possible for a document format depends on the implementation of the specific QPaintEngine.

enum QwtPlotItem::RenderHint [inherited]

Render hints.

Enumerator:

RenderAntialiased

Enable antialiasing.

enum QwtPlotItem::RttiValues [inherited]

Runtime type information.

RttiValues is used to cast plot items, without having to enable runtime type information of the compiler.

Enumerator:

Rtti_PlotItem	Unspecific value, that can be used, when it doesn't matter.
Rtti_PlotGrid	For QwtPlotGrid.
Rtti_PlotScale	For QwtPlotScaleItem.
Rtti_PlotMarker	For QwtPlotMarker.
Rtti_PlotCurve	For QwtPlotCurve.
Rtti_PlotSpectroCurve	For QwtPlotSpectroCurve.
Rtti_PlotIntervalCurve	For QwtPlotIntervalCurve.
Rtti_PlotHistogram	For QwtPlotHistogram.
Rtti_PlotSpectrogram	For QwtPlotSpectrogram.
Rtti_PlotSVG	For QwtPlotSvgItem.
Rtti_PlotUserItem	Values >= Rtti_PlotUserItem are reserved for plot items not implemented in the Qwt library.

int QwtPlotRasterItem::alpha ( ) const

Returns:: Alpha value of the raster item

See also:: setAlpha()

void QwtPlotItem::attach ( QwtPlot * plot ) [inherited]

Attach the item to a plot.

This method will attach a QwtPlotItem to the QwtPlot argument. It will first detach the QwtPlotItem from any plot from a previous call to attach (if necessary). If a NULL argument is passed, it will detach from any QwtPlot it was attached to.

Parameters:

plot	Plot widget

See also:: detach()

QRectF QwtPlotRasterItem::boundingRect ( ) const [virtual]

Returns:: Bounding rect of the data

See also:: QwtPlotRasterItem::interval()

Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

QwtPlotRasterItem::CachePolicy QwtPlotRasterItem::cachePolicy ( ) const

Returns:: Cache policy

See also:: CachePolicy, setCachePolicy()

void QwtPlotItem::detach ( ) [inherited]

This method detaches a QwtPlotItem from any QwtPlot it has been associated with.

detach() is equivalent to calling attach( NULL )

See also:: attach()

void QwtPlotRasterItem::draw	(	QPainter *	painter,
		const QwtScaleMap &	xMap,
		const QwtScaleMap &	yMap,
		const QRectF &	canvasRect
	)		const `[virtual]`

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

virtual void QwtLegendItemManager::drawLegendIdentifier	(	QPainter *	,
		const QRectF &
	)		const `[inline, virtual, inherited]`

QwtLegendItem can display an icon-identifier followed by a text. The icon helps to identify a plot item on the plot canvas and depends on the type of information, that is displayed.

The default implementation paints nothing.

Reimplemented in QwtPlotCurve, QwtPlotIntervalCurve, QwtPlotMarker, and QwtPlotHistogram.

void QwtPlotItem::hide ( ) [inherited]

Hide the item.

QwtScaleMap QwtPlotRasterItem::imageMap	(	Qt::Orientation	orientation,
		const QwtScaleMap &	map,
		const QRectF &	area,
		const QSize &	imageSize,
		double	pixelSize
	)		const `[protected, virtual]`

Calculate a scale map for painting to an image.

Parameters:

orientation	Orientation, Qt::Horizontal means a X axis
map	Scale map for rendering the plot item
area	Area to be painted on the image
imageSize	Image size
pixelSize	Width/Height of a data pixel

QwtInterval QwtPlotRasterItem::interval ( Qt::Axis axis ) const [virtual]

Returns:: Bounding interval for an axis

This method is intended to be reimplemented by derived classes. The default implementation returns an invalid interval.

Parameters:

axis	X, Y, or Z axis

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

void QwtPlotRasterItem::invalidateCache ( )

Invalidate the paint cache

See also:: setCachePolicy()

bool QwtPlotItem::isVisible ( ) const [inherited]

Returns:: true if visible

See also:: setVisible(), show(), hide()

void QwtPlotItem::itemChanged ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Update the legend and call QwtPlot::autoRefresh for the parent plot.

See also:: updateLegend()

QWidget * QwtPlotItem::legendItem ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Allocate the widget that represents the item on the legend.

The default implementation returns a QwtLegendItem(), but an item could be represented by any type of widget, by overloading legendItem() and updateLegend().

Returns:: QwtLegendItem()

See also:: updateLegend() QwtLegend()

Implements QwtLegendItemManager.

QRectF QwtPlotItem::paintRect	(	const QwtScaleMap &	xMap,
		const QwtScaleMap &	yMap
	)		const `[inherited]`

Calculate the bounding paint rect of 2 maps.

Parameters:

xMap	X map
yMap	X map

Returns:: Bounding paint rect of the scale maps, normalized

QRectF QwtPlotRasterItem::pixelHint ( const QRectF & area ) const [virtual]

Pixel hint.

The geometry of a pixel is used to calculated the resolution and alignment of the rendered image.

Width and height of the hint need to be the horizontal and vertical distances between 2 neighboured points. The center of the hint has to be the position of any point ( it doesn't matter which one ).

Limiting the resolution of the image might significantly improve the performance and heavily reduce the amount of memory when rendering a QImage from the raster data.

The default implementation returns an empty rectangle (QRectF()), meaning, that the image will be rendered in target device ( f.e screen ) resolution.

Parameters:

area	In most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested area.

Returns:: Bounding rectangle of a pixel

See also:: render(), renderImage()

Reimplemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

QwtPlot * QwtPlotItem::plot ( ) const [inherited]

Return attached plot.

virtual QImage QwtPlotRasterItem::renderImage	(	const QwtScaleMap &	xMap,
		const QwtScaleMap &	yMap,
		const QRectF &	area,
		const QSize &	imageSize
	)		const `[protected, pure virtual]`

Render an image.

An implementation of render() might iterate over all pixels of imageRect. Each pixel has to be translated into the corresponding position in scale coordinates using the maps. This position can be used to look up a value in a implementation specific way and to map it into a color.

Parameters:

xMap	X-Scale Map
yMap	Y-Scale Map
area	Requested area for the image in scale coordinates
imageSize	Requested size of the image

Implemented in QwtPlotSpectrogram.

int QwtPlotItem::rtti ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Return rtti for the specific class represented. QwtPlotItem is simply a virtual interface class, and base classes will implement this method with specific rtti values so a user can differentiate them.

The rtti value is useful for environments, where the runtime type information is disabled and it is not possible to do a dynamic_cast<...>.

Returns:: rtti value

See also:: RttiValues

Reimplemented in QwtPlotCurve, QwtPlotIntervalCurve, QwtPlotSpectrogram, QwtPlotHistogram, QwtPlotMarker, QwtPlotScaleItem, QwtPlotSvgItem, QwtPlotSpectroCurve, and QwtPlotGrid.

QRectF QwtPlotItem::scaleRect	(	const QwtScaleMap &	xMap,

Parameters:

xMap	X map
yMap	X map

Returns:: Bounding scale rect of the scale maps, normalized

void QwtPlotRasterItem::setAlpha ( int alpha )

Set an alpha value for the raster data.

Often a plot has several types of raster data organized in layers. ( f.e a geographical map, with weather statistics ). Using setAlpha() raster items can be stacked easily.

The alpha value is a value [0, 255] to control the transparency of the image. 0 represents a fully transparent color, while 255 represents a fully opaque color.

Parameters:

alpha Alpha value

alpha >= 0
All alpha values of the pixels returned by renderImage() will be set to alpha, beside those with an alpha value of 0 (invalid pixels).
alpha < 0 The alpha values returned by renderImage() are not changed.
