Detailed Description

A class for drawing scales.
QwtScaleDraw can be used to draw linear or logarithmic scales. A scale has a position, an alignment and a length, which can be specified . The labels can be rotated and aligned to the ticks using setLabelRotation() and setLabelAlignment().
After a scale division has been specified as a QwtScaleDiv object using QwtAbstractScaleDraw::setScaleDiv(const QwtScaleDiv &s), the scale can be drawn with the QwtAbstractScaleDraw::draw() member.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtScaleDraw::Alignment

drawTick(), drawBackbone(), boundingLabelRect()
Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

void QwtScaleDraw::drawTick (QPainter *painter, doublevalue, intlen) const [protected], [virtual]

Draw a tick
Parameters:

value Value of the tick
 
len Length of the tick
See also:
drawBackbone(), drawLabel()
Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

int QwtScaleDraw::extent (const QPen &pen, const QFont &font) const [virtual]

Calculate the width/height that is needed for a vertical/horizontal scale.
The extent is calculated from the pen width of the backbone, the major tick length, the spacing and the maximum width/height of the labels.
Parameters:
pen Pen that is used for painting backbone and ticks
 
font Font used for painting the labels
See also:
minLength()
Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

void QwtScaleDraw::getBorderDistHint (const QFont &font, int &start, int &end) const

Determine the minimum border distance. This member function returns the minimum space needed to draw the mark labels at the scale's endpoints.
Parameters:
font Font
 
start Start border distance
 
end End border distance

Qt::Alignment QwtScaleDraw::labelAlignment () const

Returns:
the label flags
See also:
setLabelAlignment(), labelRotation()

QMatrix QwtScaleDraw::labelMatrix (const QPoint &pos, const QSize &size) const [protected]

Calculate the matrix that is needed to paint a label depending on its alignment and rotation.
Parameters:
pos Position where to paint the label
 
size Size of the label
See also:
setLabelAlignment(), setLabelRotation()

QPoint QwtScaleDraw::labelPosition (doublevalue) const

Find the position, where to paint a label
The position has a distance of majTickLength() + spacing() + 1 from the backbone. The direction depends on the alignment()
Parameters:
value Value

QRect QwtScaleDraw::labelRect (const QFont &font, doublevalue) const

Find the bounding rect for the label. The coordinates of the rect are relative to spacing + ticklength from the backbone in direction of the tick.
Parameters:
font Font used for painting
 
value Value

double QwtScaleDraw::labelRotation () const

Returns:
the label rotation
See also:
setLabelRotation(), labelAlignment()

QSize QwtScaleDraw::labelSize (const QFont &font, doublevalue) const

Calculate the size that is needed to draw a label
Parameters:
font Label font
 
value Value

int QwtScaleDraw::length () const

Returns:
the length of the backbone
See also:
setLength(), pos()

int QwtScaleDraw::maxLabelHeight (const QFont &font) const

Parameters:
font Font
Returns:
the maximum height of a label

int QwtScaleDraw::maxLabelWidth (const QFont &font) const

Parameters:
font Font
Returns:
the maximum width of a label

int QwtScaleDraw::minLabelDist (const QFont &font) const

Determine the minimum distance between two labels, that is necessary that the texts don't overlap.
Parameters:
font Font
Returns:
The maximum width of a label
See also:
getBorderDistHint()

int QwtScaleDraw::minLength (const QPen &pen, const QFont &font) const

Calculate the minimum length that is needed to draw the scale
Parameters:
pen Pen that is used for painting backbone and ticks
 
font Font used for painting the labels
See also:
extent()

void QwtScaleDraw::move (intx, inty) [inline]

Move the position of the scale
See also:
move(const QPoint &)

void QwtScaleDraw::move (const QPoint &pos)

Move the position of the scale. The meaning of the parameter pos depends on the alignment:
QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale
The origin is the topmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a vertical line. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the left of the backbone.
QwtScaleDraw::RightScale
The origin is the topmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a vertical line. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the right of the backbone.
QwtScaleDraw::TopScale
The origin is the leftmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a horizontal line. Scale marks and labels are drawn above the backbone.
QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale
The origin is the leftmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a horizontal line Scale marks and labels are drawn below the backbone.
Parameters:
pos Origin of the scale
See also:
pos(), setLength()

Qt::Orientation QwtScaleDraw::orientation () const

Return the orientation
TopScale, BottomScale are horizontal (Qt::Horizontal) scales, LeftScale, RightScale are vertical (Qt::Vertical) scales.
See also:
alignment()

QPoint QwtScaleDraw::pos () const

Returns:
Origin of the scale
See also:
move(), length()

void QwtScaleDraw::setAlignment ( Alignmentalign)

Set the alignment of the scale
The default alignment is QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale
See also:
alignment()

void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelAlignment (Qt::Alignmentalignment)

Change the label flags. Labels are aligned to the point ticklength + spacing away from the backbone.
The alignment is relative to the orientation of the label text. In case of an flags of 0 the label will be aligned depending on the orientation of the scale:
QwtScaleDraw::TopScale: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignTop
QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignBottom
QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale: Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter
QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignVCenter
Changing the alignment is often necessary for rotated labels.
Parameters:
alignment Or'd Qt::AlignmentFlags <see qnamespace.h>
See also:
setLabelRotation(), labelRotation(), labelAlignment()
Warning:
The various alignments might be confusing. The alignment of the label is not the alignment of the scale and is not the alignment of the flags (QwtText::flags()) returned from QwtAbstractScaleDraw::label().

void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelRotation (doublerotation)

Rotate all labels.
When changing the rotation, it might be necessary to adjust the label flags too. Finding a useful combination is often the result of try and error.
Parameters:
rotation Angle in degrees. When changing the label rotation, the label flags often needs to be adjusted too.
See also:
setLabelAlignment(), labelRotation(), labelAlignment().

void QwtScaleDraw::setLength (intlength)

Set the length of the backbone.
The length doesn't include the space needed for overlapping labels.

move(), minLabelDist()
