.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
\fBQwtColorMap\fP is used to map values into colors\&. 

For displaying 3D data on a 2D plane the 3rd dimension is often displayed using colors, like f\&.e in a spectrogram\&.
.PP
Each color map is optimized to return colors for only one of the following image formats:
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
QImage::Format_Indexed8
.br

.IP "\(bu" 2
QImage::Format_ARGB32

RGB
.br
 The map is intended to map into QRgb values\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
Indexed
.br
 The map is intended to map into 8 bit values, that are indices into the color table\&.

.PP 
.SS "QColor QwtColorMap::color (const \fBQwtDoubleInterval\fP &interval, doublevalue) const\fC [inline]\fP"
Map a value into a color
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIinterval\fP Valid interval for values 
.br
\fIvalue\fP Value
.RE
.PP
\fBReturns:\fP
.RS 4
Color corresponding to value
.RE
.PP
\fBWarning:\fP
.RS 4
This method is slow for Indexed color maps\&. If it is necessary to map many values, its better to get the color table once and find the color using \fBcolorIndex()\fP\&.

.SS "virtual unsigned char QwtColorMap::colorIndex (const \fBQwtDoubleInterval\fP &interval, doublevalue) const\fC [pure virtual]\fP"
Map a value of a given interval into a color index 
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIinterval\fP Range for the values 
.br
\fIvalue\fP Value 
.RE
.PP
\fBReturns:\fP
.RS 4
color index, corresponding to value 
.RE

Implemented in \fBQwtLinearColorMap\fP\&.
.SS "QwtColorTable QwtColorMap::colorTable (const \fBQwtDoubleInterval\fP &interval) const\fC [virtual]\fP"
Build and return a color map of 256 colors
.PP
The color table is needed for rendering indexed images in combination with using \fBcolorIndex()\fP\&.
