Detailed Description

QwtRasterData defines an interface to any type of raster data.

QwtRasterData is an abstract interface, that is used by QwtPlotRasterItem to find the values at the pixels of its raster.

Often a raster item is used to display values from a matrix. Then the derived raster data class needs to implement some sort of resampling, that maps the raster of the matrix into the requested raster of the raster item ( depending on resolution and scales of the canvas ).

Constructor

Parameters:
boundingRectBounding rectangle

Member Function Documentation

QwtDoubleRect QwtRasterData::boundingRect ( ) const
Returns:
Bounding rectangle

QwtRasterData::ContourLines QwtRasterData::contourLines ( const QwtDoubleRect &  rect,
const QSize &  raster,
const QList< double > &  levels,
int  flags 
) const

Calculate contour lines

void QwtRasterData::discardRaster ( )
virtual

Discard a raster.

After the composition of an image QwtPlotSpectrogram calls discardRaster().

The default implementation does nothing, but if data has been loaded in initRaster(), it could deleted now.

See also:
initRaster(), value()
void QwtRasterData::initRaster ( const QwtDoubleRect &  ,
const QSize &  raster 
)
virtual

Initialize a raster.

Before the composition of an image QwtPlotSpectrogram calls initRaster, announcing the area and its resolution that will be requested.

The default implementation does nothing, but for data sets that are stored in files, it might be good idea to reimplement initRaster, where the data is resampled and loaded into memory.

Parameters:
rectArea of the raster
rasterNumber of horizontal and vertical pixels
See also:
initRaster(), value()
virtual QwtDoubleInterval QwtRasterData::range ( ) const
pure virtual
Returns:
the range of the values
QSize QwtRasterData::rasterHint ( const QwtDoubleRect &  ) const
virtual

Find the raster of the data for an area.

The resolution is the number of horizontal and vertical pixels that the data can return for an area. An invalid resolution indicates that the data can return values for any detail level.

The resolution will limit the size of the image that is rendered from the data. F.e. this might be important when printing a spectrogram to a A0 printer with 600 dpi.

The default implementation returns an invalid resolution (size)

Parameters:
rectIn most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested rectangle.
Returns:
Resolution, as number of horizontal and vertical pixels
void QwtRasterData::setBoundingRect ( const QwtDoubleRect &  boundingRect)
virtual

Set the bounding rect ( == area, un plot coordinates )

Parameters:
boundingRectBounding rectangle
See also:
boundingRect()
virtual double QwtRasterData::value ( double  x,
double  y 
) const
pure virtual
Returns:
the value at a raster position
Parameters:
xX value in plot coordinates
yY value in plot coordinates
