Detailed Description

A class for drawing datetime scales.

QwtDateScaleDraw displays values as datetime labels. The format of the labels depends on the alignment of the major tick labels.

The default format strings are:

  • Millisecond
    "hh:mm:ss:zzz\nddd dd MMM yyyy"
  • Second
    "hh:mm:ss\nddd dd MMM yyyy"
  • Minute
    "hh:mm\nddd dd MMM yyyy"
  • Hour
    "hh:mm\nddd dd MMM yyyy"
  • Day
    "ddd dd MMM yyyy"
  • Week
    "Www yyyy"
  • Month
    "MMM yyyy"
  • Year
    "yyyy"

The format strings can be modified using setDateFormat() or individually for each tick label by overloading dateFormatOfDate(),

Usually QwtDateScaleDraw is used in combination with QwtDateScaleEngine, that calculates scales for datetime intervals.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QwtDateScaleDraw()

QwtDateScaleDraw::QwtDateScaleDraw ( Qt::TimeSpec  timeSpec = Qt::LocalTime)
explicit

Constructor.

The default setting is to display tick labels for the given time specification. The first week of a year is defined like for QwtDate::FirstThursday.

Parameters
timeSpecTime specification
See also
setTimeSpec(), setWeek0Type()

Definition at line 48 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ dateFormat()

QString QwtDateScaleDraw::dateFormat ( QwtDate::IntervalType  intervalType) const
Parameters
intervalTypeInterval type
Returns
Default format string for an datetime interval type
See also
setDateFormat(), dateFormatOfDate()

Definition at line 152 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ dateFormatOfDate()

QString QwtDateScaleDraw::dateFormatOfDate ( const QDateTime &  dateTime,
QwtDate::IntervalType  intervalType 
) const
protectedvirtual

Format string for the representation of a datetime

dateFormatOfDate() is intended to be overloaded for situations, where formats are individual for specific datetime values.

The default setting ignores dateTime and return the default format for the interval type.

Parameters
dateTimeDatetime value
intervalTypeInterval type
Returns
Format string
See also
setDateFormat(), QwtDate::toString()

Definition at line 180 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ intervalType()

QwtDate::IntervalType QwtDateScaleDraw::intervalType ( const QwtScaleDiv scaleDiv) const
protectedvirtual

Find the less detailed datetime unit, where no rounding errors happen.

Parameters
scaleDivScale division
Returns
Interval type
See also
dateFormatOfDate()

Definition at line 223 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ label()

QwtText QwtDateScaleDraw::label ( double  value) const
overridevirtual

Convert a value into its representing label.

The value is converted to a datetime value using toDateTime() and converted to a plain text using QwtDate::toString().

Parameters
valueValue
Returns
Label string.
See also
dateFormatOfDate()

Reimplemented from QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

Definition at line 205 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setDateFormat()

void QwtDateScaleDraw::setDateFormat ( QwtDate::IntervalType  intervalType,
const QString &  format 
)

Set the default format string for an datetime interval type

Parameters
intervalTypeInterval type
formatDefault format string

dateFormat(), dateFormatOfDate(), QwtDate::toString()

Definition at line 137 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setTimeSpec()

void QwtDateScaleDraw::setTimeSpec ( Qt::TimeSpec  timeSpec)

Set the time specification used for the tick labels

Parameters
timeSpecTime specification
See also
timeSpec(), setUtcOffset(), toDateTime()

Definition at line 65 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setUtcOffset()

void QwtDateScaleDraw::setUtcOffset ( int  seconds)

Set the offset in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time

Parameters
secondsOffset in seconds
Note
The offset has no effect beside for the time specification Qt::OffsetFromUTC.
See also
QDate::utcOffset(), setTimeSpec(), toDateTime()

Definition at line 89 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ setWeek0Type()

void QwtDateScaleDraw::setWeek0Type ( QwtDate::Week0Type  week0Type)

Sets how to identify the first week of a year.

Parameters
week0TypeMode how to identify the first week of a year
See also
week0Type().
Note
week0Type has no effect beside for intervals classified as QwtDate::Week.

Definition at line 115 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ timeSpec()

Qt::TimeSpec QwtDateScaleDraw::timeSpec ( ) const
Returns
Time specification used for the tick labels
See also
setTimeSpec(), utcOffset(), toDateTime()

Definition at line 74 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ toDateTime()

QDateTime QwtDateScaleDraw::toDateTime ( double  value) const

Translate a double value into a QDateTime object.

Returns
QDateTime object initialized with timeSpec() and utcOffset().
See also
timeSpec(), utcOffset(), QwtDate::toDateTime()

Definition at line 269 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ utcOffset()

int QwtDateScaleDraw::utcOffset ( ) const
Returns
Offset in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time
Note
The offset has no effect beside for the time specification Qt::OffsetFromUTC.
See also
QDate::setUtcOffset(), setTimeSpec(), toDateTime()

Definition at line 101 of file qwt_date_scale_draw.cpp.

◆ week0Type()
