Detailed Description

Layout engine for QwtPlot.

It is used by the QwtPlot widget to organize its internal widgets or by QwtPlot::print() to render its content to a QPaintDevice like a QPrinter, QPixmap/QImage or QSvgRenderer.


Member Enumeration Documentation

Options to configure the plot layout engine

  • AlignScales
    Unused
  • IgnoreScrollbars
    Ignore the dimension of the scrollbars. There are no scrollbars, when the plot is rendered to a paint device (QwtPlot::print() ).
  • IgnoreFrames
    Ignore all frames. QwtPlot::print() doesn't paint them.
  • IgnoreMargin
    Ignore the margin().
  • IgnoreLegend
    Ignore the legend.

void QwtPlotLayout::activate ( const QwtPlot plot,
const QRect &  plotRect,
int  options = 0 
)
virtual

plotRectRect where to place the components
optionsOptions
See also:
invalidate(), Options, titleRect(), legendRect(), scaleRect(), canvasRect()
bool QwtPlotLayout::alignCanvasToScales ( ) const

Return the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting. The canvas may:

  • extend beyond the axis scale ends to maximize its size
  • align with the axis scale ends to control its size.
Returns:
align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting
See also:
setAlignCanvasToScales, setCanvasMargin()
Note:
In this context the term 'scale' means the backbone of a scale.

const QRect &  legendRect 
) const
protected

Align the legend to the canvas

Parameters:
canvasRectGeometry of the canvas
legendRectMaximum geometry for the legend
Returns:
Geometry for the aligned legend
void QwtPlotLayout::alignScales ( int  options,
QRect &  canvasRect,
QRect  scaleRect[QwtPlot::axisCnt] 
) const
protected

Align the ticks of the axis to the canvas borders using the empty corners.

See also:
Options
int QwtPlotLayout::canvasMargin ( int  axis) const
Returns:
Margin around the scale tick borders
See also:
setCanvasMargin()
const QRect & QwtPlotLayout::canvasRect ( ) const
Returns:
Geometry for the canvas

activate(), invalidate()
void QwtPlotLayout::expandLineBreaks ( int  options,
const QRect &  rect,
int &  dimTitle,
int  dimAxis[QwtPlot::axisCnt] 
) const
protected

Expand all line breaks in text labels, and calculate the height of their widgets in orientation of the text.

Parameters:
optionsOptions how to layout the legend
rectBounding rect for title, axes and canvas.
dimTitleExpanded height of the title widget
dimAxisExpanded heights of the axis in axis orientation.

double QwtPlotLayout::legendRatio ( ) const
Returns:
The relative size of the legend in the plot.
See also:

const QRect & QwtPlotLayout::legendRect ( ) const
Returns:
Geometry for the legend

int QwtPlotLayout::margin ( ) const
Returns:
margin
See also:

QSize QwtPlotLayout::minimumSizeHint ( const QwtPlot plot) const
virtual

Return a minimum size hint.

Parameters:
axisAxis index
Returns:
Geometry for the scale

void QwtPlotLayout::setAlignCanvasToScales ( bool  alignCanvasToScales)

Change the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting. The canvas may:

  • extend beyond the axis scale ends to maximize its size,
  • align with the axis scale ends to control its size.
Parameters:
alignCanvasToScalesNew align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting
See also:
setCanvasMargin()
Note:
In this context the term 'scale' means the backbone of a scale.
Warning:
In case of alignCanvasToScales == true canvasMargin will have no effect
void QwtPlotLayout::setCanvasMargin ( int  margin,
int  axis = -1 
)

Change a margin of the canvas. The margin is the space above/below the scale ticks. A negative margin will be set to -1, excluding the borders of the scales.

Parameters:
marginNew margin
axisOne of QwtPlot::Axis. Specifies where the position of the margin. -1 means margin at all borders.
See also:
canvasMargin()
Warning:
The margin will have no effect when alignCanvasToScales is true
void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition ( QwtPlot::LegendPosition  pos,
double  ratio 
)

Specify the position of the legend.

Parameters:
posThe legend's position.
ratioRatio between legend and the bounding rect of title, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrinked if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
See also:
QwtPlot::setLegendPosition()
void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition ( QwtPlot::LegendPosition  pos)

Specify the position of the legend.

Parameters:
posThe legend's position. Valid values are QwtPlot::LeftLegend, QwtPlot::RightLegend, QwtPlot::TopLegend, QwtPlot::BottomLegend.
See also:
QwtPlot::setLegendPosition()
void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendRatio ( double  ratio)

Specify the relative size of the legend in the plot

Parameters:
ratioRatio between legend and the bounding rect of title, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrinked if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
void QwtPlotLayout::setMargin ( int  margin)

Change the margin of the plot. The margin is the space around all components.

Parameters:
marginnew margin
See also:
margin(), setSpacing(), QwtPlot::setMargin()
void QwtPlotLayout::setSpacing ( int  spacing)

Change the spacing of the plot. The spacing is the distance between the plot components.

Parameters:
