Detailed Description

QwtColorMap 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.
Each color map is optimized to return colors for only one of the following image formats:
•
QImage::Format_Indexed8
 
•
QImage::Format_ARGB32

QwtPlotSpectrogram, QwtScaleWidget

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtColorMap::Format Format for color mapping

See also:
rgb(), colorIndex(), colorTable()
Enumerator:
RGB
The map is intended to map into QRgb values.
Indexed
The map is intended to map into 8 bit values, that are indices into the color table.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtColorMap::QwtColorMap ( Formatformat = QwtColorMap::RGB)

Constructor.

QwtColorMap::~QwtColorMap () [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

QColor QwtColorMap::color (const QwtInterval &interval, doublevalue) const [inline] Map a value into a color

Parameters:
interval Valid interval for values
 
value Value
Returns:
Color corresponding to value
Warning:
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 colorIndex().

virtual unsigned char QwtColorMap::colorIndex (const QwtInterval &interval, doublevalue) const [pure virtual] Map a value of a given interval into a color index

Parameters:
interval Range for the values
 
value Value
Returns:
color index, corresponding to value
Implemented in QwtLinearColorMap.

QwtColorTable QwtColorMap::colorTable (const QwtInterval &interval) const [virtual] Build and return a color map of 256 colors

The color table is needed for rendering indexed images in combination with using colorIndex().
Parameters:
interval Range for the values
Returns:
A color table, that can be used for a QImage

QwtColorMap::Format QwtColorMap::format () const [inline] Returns:

Intended format of the color map
See also:
Format

virtual QRgb QwtColorMap::rgb (const QwtInterval &interval, doublevalue) const [pure virtual] Map a value of a given interval into a rgb value.

Parameters:
interval Range for the values
 
value Value
Returns:
rgb value, corresponding to value
Implemented in QwtLinearColorMap, and QwtAlphaColorMap.
