Detailed Description

An abstract base class for classes containing a scale. QwtAbstractScale is used to provide classes with a QwtScaleDraw, and a QwtScaleDiv. The QwtScaleDiv might be set explicitely or calculated by a QwtScaleEngine.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

  QwtAbstractScale::QwtAbstractScale () Constructor

Creates a default QwtScaleDraw and a QwtLinearScaleEngine. Autoscaling is enabled, and the stepSize is initialized by 0.0.

  QwtAbstractScale::~QwtAbstractScale () [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

  QwtAbstractScaleDraw * QwtAbstractScale::abstractScaleDraw () [protected] Returns:
    Scale draw

See also:
    setAbstractScaleDraw()

  const QwtAbstractScaleDraw * QwtAbstractScale::abstractScaleDraw () const [protected] Returns:
    Scale draw

See also:
    setAbstractScaleDraw()

  bool QwtAbstractScale::autoScale () const Returns:
    true if autoscaling is enabled

  void QwtAbstractScale::rescale (double vmin, double vmax, double stepSize = 0.0) [protected] Recalculate the scale division and update the scale draw.

Parameters:
    vmin Lower limit of the scale interval
    vmax Upper limit of the scale interval
    stepSize Major step size

See also:
    scaleChange()

  void QwtAbstractScale::scaleChange () [protected, virtual]

Notify changed scale. Dummy empty implementation, intended to be overloaded by derived classes

Reimplemented in QwtSlider, and QwtThermo.

  QwtScaleEngine * QwtAbstractScale::scaleEngine () Returns:
    Scale engine

See also:
    setScaleEngine()

  const QwtScaleEngine * QwtAbstractScale::scaleEngine () const Returns:
    Scale engine

See also:
    setScaleEngine()

  const QwtScaleMap & QwtAbstractScale::scaleMap () const Returns:
    abstractScaleDraw()->scaleMap()

  int QwtAbstractScale::scaleMaxMajor () const Returns:
    Max. number of major tick intervals The default value is 5.

  int QwtAbstractScale::scaleMaxMinor () const Returns:
    Max. number of minor tick intervals The default value is 3.

  void QwtAbstractScale::setAbstractScaleDraw (QwtAbstractScaleDraw * scaleDraw) [protected]

Set a scale draw. scaleDraw has to be created with new and will be deleted in ~QwtAbstractScale or the next call of setAbstractScaleDraw.

  void QwtAbstractScale::setAutoScale ()

Advise the widget to control the scale range internally. Autoscaling is on by default.

See also:
    setScale(), autoScale()

  void QwtAbstractScale::setScale (const QwtScaleDiv & scaleDiv)

Specify a scale. Disable autoscaling and define a scale by a scale division

Parameters:
    scaleDiv Scale division

See also:
    setAutoScale()

  void QwtAbstractScale::setScale (const QwtDoubleInterval & interval, double stepSize = 0.0)

Specify a scale. Disable autoscaling and define a scale by an interval and a step size

Parameters:
    interval Interval
    stepSize major step size

See also:
    setAutoScale()

  void QwtAbstractScale::setScale (double vmin, double vmax, double stepSize = 0.0)

Specify a scale. Disable autoscaling and define a scale by an interval and a step size

Parameters:
    vmin lower limit of the scale interval
    vmax upper limit of the scale interval
    stepSize major step size

See also:
    setAutoScale()

  void QwtAbstractScale::setScaleEngine (QwtScaleEngine * scaleEngine)

Set a scale engine. The scale engine is responsible for calculating the scale division, and in case of auto scaling how to align the scale.

scaleEngine has to be created with new and will be deleted in ~QwtAbstractScale or the next call of setScaleEngine.

  void QwtAbstractScale::setScaleMaxMajor (int ticks)

Set the maximum number of major tick intervals. The scale's major ticks are calculated automatically such that the number of major intervals does not exceed ticks. The default value is 5.

Parameters:
    ticks maximal number of major ticks.

See also:
    QwtAbstractScaleDraw

  void QwtAbstractScale::setScaleMaxMinor (int ticks)

Set the maximum number of minor tick intervals. The scale's minor ticks are calculated automatically such that the number of minor intervals does not exceed ticks. The default value is 3.

Parameters:
    ticks
