Detailed Description

A 2-D plotting widget.

QwtPlot is a widget for plotting two-dimensional graphs. An unlimited number of plot items can be displayed on its canvas. Plot items might be curves (QwtPlotCurve), markers (QwtPlotMarker), the grid (QwtPlotGrid), or anything else derived from QwtPlotItem. A plot can have up to four axes, with each plot item attached to an x- and a y axis. The scales at the axes can be explicitly set (QwtScaleDiv), or are calculated from the plot items, using algorithms (QwtScaleEngine) which can be configured separately for each axis.

The simpleplot example is a good starting point to see how to set up a plot widget.

Example: The following example shows (schematically) the most simple way to use QwtPlot. By default, only the left and bottom axes are visible and their scales are computed automatically.
#include <qwt_plot.h>

#include <qwt_plot_curve.h>

QwtPlot *myPlot = new QwtPlot( "Two Curves", parent );

// add curves

QwtPlotCurve *curve1 = new QwtPlotCurve( "Curve 1" );

QwtPlotCurve *curve2 = new QwtPlotCurve( "Curve 2" );

// connect or copy the data to the curves

curve1->setData( ... );

curve2->setData( ... );

curve1->attach( myPlot );

curve2->attach( myPlot );

// finally, refresh the plot

myPlot->replot();

Definition at line 670 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ infoToItem()

QwtPlotItem * QwtPlot::infoToItem ( const QVariant & itemInfo ) const

virtual

Identify the plot item according to an item info object, that has bee generated from itemToInfo().

The default implementation simply tries to unwrap a QwtPlotItem pointer:

if ( itemInfo.canConvert<QwtPlotItem *>() )

return qvariant_cast<QwtPlotItem *>( itemInfo );

QwtPlotItem

Base class for items on the plot canvas.

Definition qwt_plot_item.h:67

Parameters

itemInfo Plot item

Returns: A plot item, when successful, otherwise a NULL pointer.

See also: itemToInfo()

Definition at line 1159 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ insertLegend()

void QwtPlot::insertLegend	(	QwtAbstractLegend *	legend,
		QwtPlot::LegendPosition	pos = QwtPlot::RightLegend,
		double	ratio = -1.0 )

Insert a legend.

If the position legend is QwtPlot::LeftLegend or QwtPlot::RightLegend the legend will be organized in one column from top to down. Otherwise the legend items will be placed in a table with a best fit number of columns from left to right.

insertLegend() will set the plot widget as parent for the legend. The legend will be deleted in the destructor of the plot or when another legend is inserted.

Legends, that are not inserted into the layout of the plot widget need to connect to the legendDataChanged() signal. Calling updateLegend() initiates this signal for an initial update. When the application code wants to implement its own layout this also needs to be done for rendering plots to a document ( see QwtPlotRenderer ).

Parameters

legend	Legend
pos	The legend's position. For top/left position the number of columns will be limited to 1, otherwise it will be set to unlimited.
ratio	Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk 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: legend(), QwtPlotLayout::legendPosition(), QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition()

Definition at line 927 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ invTransform()

double QwtPlot::invTransform	(	QwtAxisId	axisId,
		double	pos ) const

Transform the x or y coordinate of a position in the drawing region into a value.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
pos	position

Returns: Position as axis coordinate

Warning: The position can be an x or a y coordinate, depending on the specified axis.

Definition at line 401 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ isAxisValid()

bool QwtPlot::isAxisValid ( QwtAxisId axisId ) const

Checks if an axis is valid

Parameters

axisId axis

Returns: true if the specified axis exists, otherwise false

Note: This method is equivalent to QwtAxis::isValid( axisId ) and simply checks if axisId is one of the values of QwtAxis::Position. It is a placeholder for future releases, where it will be possible to have a customizable number of axes ( multiaxes branch ) at each side.

Definition at line 132 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ setAutoReplot()

void QwtPlot::setAutoReplot ( bool tf = true )

Set or reset the autoReplot option.

If the autoReplot option is set, the plot will be updated implicitly by manipulating member functions. Since this may be time-consuming, it is recommended to leave this option switched off and call replot() explicitly if necessary.

The autoReplot option is set to false by default, which means that the user has to call replot() in order to make changes visible.

Parameters

tf	`true` or `false`. Defaults to `true`.

See also: replot()

This member function is used to switch back to autoscaling mode after a fixed scale has been set. Autoscaling is enabled by default.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
on	On/Off

See also: setAxisScale(), setAxisScaleDiv(), updateAxes()

Note: The autoscaling flag has no effect until updateAxes() is executed ( called by replot() ).

Parameters

axisId	Axis
min	Minimum of the scale
max	Maximum of the scale
stepSize	Major step size. If `step == 0`, the step size is calculated automatically using the maxMajor setting.

The scale division will be stored locally only until the next call of updateAxes(). So updates of the scale widget usually happen delayed with the next replot.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
scaleDiv	Scale division

See also: setAxisScale(), setAxisAutoScale()

Definition at line 506 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

See also: axisScaleEngine()

Definition at line 169 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ setAxisTitle() [1/2]

void QwtPlot::setAxisTitle	(	QwtAxisId	axisId,
		const QString &	title )

Change the title of a specified axis.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
title	axis title

Definition at line 628 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ setAxisTitle() [2/2]

void QwtPlot::setAxisTitle	(	QwtAxisId	axisId,
		const QwtText &	title )

Change the title of a specified axis.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
title	Axis title

Definition at line 640 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ setAxisVisible()

void QwtPlot::setAxisVisible	(	QwtAxisId	axisId,
		bool	on = true )

Hide or show a specified axis.

Curves, markers and other items can be attached to hidden axes, and transformation of screen coordinates into values works as normal.

Only QwtAxis::XBottom and QwtAxis::YLeft are enabled by default.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
on	`true` (visible) or `false` (hidden)

Definition at line 380 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ setCanvas()

void QwtPlot::setCanvas ( QWidget * canvas )

Set the drawing canvas of the plot widget.

QwtPlot invokes methods of the canvas as meta methods ( see QMetaObject ). In opposite to using conventional C++ techniques like virtual methods they allow to use canvas implementations that are derived from QWidget or QGLWidget.

The following meta methods could be implemented:

replot() When the canvas doesn't offer a replot method, QwtPlot calls update() instead.
borderPath() The border path is necessary to clip the content of the canvas When the canvas doesn't have any special border ( f.e rounded corners ) it is o.k. not to implement this method.

The default canvas is a QwtPlotCanvas

Parameters

canvas Canvas Widget

See also: canvas()

Definition at line 213 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ setCanvasBackground()

void QwtPlot::setCanvasBackground ( const QBrush & brush )

Change the background of the plotting area.

Sets brush to QPalette::Window of all color groups of the palette of the canvas. Using canvas()->setPalette() is a more powerful way to set these colors.

Parameters

brush New background brush

See also: canvasBackground()

Definition at line 873 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ setFooter() [1/2]

void QwtPlot::setFooter ( const QString & text )

Change the text the footer

Parameters

text	New text of the footer

Definition at line 372 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ setFooter() [2/2]

void QwtPlot::setFooter ( const QwtText & text )

Change the text the footer

Parameters

text	New text of the footer

Definition at line 385 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ setPlotLayout()

void QwtPlot::setPlotLayout ( QwtPlotLayout * layout )

Assign a new plot layout.

Parameters

layout Layout()

See also: plotLayout()

Definition at line 418 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ setTitle() [1/2]

void QwtPlot::setTitle ( const QString & title )

Change the plot's title

Parameters

title New title

Definition at line 328 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ setTitle() [2/2]

void QwtPlot::setTitle ( const QwtText & title )

Change the plot's title

Parameters

title New title

Definition at line 341 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ sizeHint()

QSize QwtPlot::sizeHint ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns: Size hint for the plot widget

See also: minimumSizeHint()

Definition at line 480 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ title()

QwtText QwtPlot::title ( ) const

Returns: Title of the plot

Definition at line 351 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ titleLabel() [1/2]

QwtTextLabel * QwtPlot::titleLabel ( )

Returns: Title label widget.

Definition at line 357 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ titleLabel() [2/2]

const QwtTextLabel * QwtPlot::titleLabel ( ) const

Returns: Title label widget.

Definition at line 363 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ transform()

double QwtPlot::transform	(	QwtAxisId	axisId,
		double	value ) const

Transform a value into a coordinate in the plotting region.

Parameters

axisId	Axis
value	value

Returns: X or Y coordinate in the plotting region corresponding to the value.

Definition at line 418 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ updateAxes()

void QwtPlot::updateAxes ( )

Rebuild the axes scales.

In case of autoscaling the boundaries of a scale are calculated from the bounding rectangles of all plot items, having the QwtPlotItem::AutoScale flag enabled ( QwtScaleEngine::autoScale() ). Then a scale division is calculated ( QwtScaleEngine::didvideScale() ) and assigned to scale widget.

When the scale boundaries have been assigned with setAxisScale() a scale division is calculated ( QwtScaleEngine::didvideScale() ) for this interval and assigned to the scale widget.

When the scale has been set explicitly by setAxisScaleDiv() the locally stored scale division gets assigned to the scale widget.

The scale widget indicates modifications by emitting a QwtScaleWidget::scaleDivChanged() signal.

updateAxes() is usually called by replot().

Definition at line 670 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp.

◆ updateCanvasMargins()

void QwtPlot::updateCanvasMargins ( )

Update the canvas margins.

Plot items might indicate, that they need some extra space at the borders of the canvas by the QwtPlotItem::Margins flag.

getCanvasMarginsHint(), QwtPlotItem::getCanvasMarginHint()

Definition at line 706 of file qwt_plot.cpp.

◆ updateLayout()

void QwtPlot::updateLayout ( )

virtual
