Definition at line 1421 of file qwt_painter.cpp.

isAligning()

bool QwtPainter::isAligning ( const QPainter * painter )

static

Check if the painter is using a paint engine, that aligns coordinates to integers. Today these are all paint engines beside QPaintEngine::Pdf and QPaintEngine::SVG.

If we have an integer based paint engine it is also checked if the painter has a transformation matrix, that rotates or scales.

Parameters

painter

Painter

Returns

true, when the painter is aligning

See also

setRoundingAlignment()

Definition at line 257 of file qwt_painter.cpp.

isX11GraphicsSystem()

bool QwtPainter::isX11GraphicsSystem ( )

static

Check is the application is running with the X11 graphics system that has some special capabilities that can be used for incremental painting to a widget.

Returns

True, when the graphics system is X11

Definition at line 223 of file qwt_painter.cpp.

polylineSplitting()

bool QwtPainter::polylineSplitting ( )

inlinestatic

Returns

True, when line splitting for the raster paint engine is enabled.

See also

setPolylineSplitting()

Definition at line 170 of file qwt_painter.h.

roundingAlignment() [1/2]

bool QwtPainter::roundingAlignment ( )

inlinestatic

Check whether coordinates should be rounded, before they are painted to a paint engine that rounds to integer values. For other paint engines ( PDF, SVG ), this flag has no effect.

Returns

True, when rounding is enabled

See also

setRoundingAlignment(), isAligning()

Definition at line 183 of file qwt_painter.h.

roundingAlignment() [2/2]

bool QwtPainter::roundingAlignment ( const QPainter * painter )

inlinestatic

Returns

roundingAlignment() && isAligning(painter);

Parameters

painter

Painter

Definition at line 192 of file qwt_painter.h.

scaledFont()

QFont QwtPainter::scaledFont ( const QFont & font, const QPaintDevice * paintDevice = NULL )

static

Adjust the DPI value of font according to the DPI value of the paint device

Parameters

font	Unscaled font
paintDevice	Paint device providing a DPI value. If paintDevice == null the DPI value of the primary screen will be used

Returns

Font being adjusted to the DPI value of the paint device

Definition at line 1440 of file qwt_painter.cpp.

setPolylineSplitting()

void QwtPainter::setPolylineSplitting ( bool enable )

static

En/Disable line splitting for the raster paint engine.

In some Qt versions the raster paint engine paints polylines of many points much faster when they are split in smaller chunks: f.e all supported Qt versions >= Qt 5.0 when drawing an antialiased polyline with a pen width >=2.

Also the raster paint engine has a nasty bug in many versions ( Qt 4.8 - ... ) for short lines ( https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/99456 ), that is worked around in this mode.

The default setting is true.

See also

polylineSplitting()

Definition at line 325 of file qwt_painter.cpp.

setRoundingAlignment()

void QwtPainter::setRoundingAlignment ( bool enable )

static

Enable whether coordinates should be rounded, before they are painted to a paint engine that floors to integer values. For other paint engines ( PDF, SVG ) this flag has no effect. QwtPainter stores this flag only, the rounding itself is done in the painting code ( f.e the plot items ).

The default setting is true.

roundingAlignment(), isAligning()
