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.

protected

Returns:

Scale draw

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:

scaleChange()

void QwtAbstractScale::scaleChange ( )

protectedvirtual

Notify changed scale.

Dummy empty implementation, intended to be overloaded by derived classes

Reimplemented in QwtThermo, and QwtSlider.

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	(	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::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

(

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::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
