NAME

QwtScaleDraw

SYNOPSIS

Inherits QwtDiMap.
Inherited by QwtDialScaleDraw.

Detailed Description

A class for drawing scales.

QwtScaleDraw can be used to draw linear or logarithmic scales. A scale has an origin, an orientation and a length, which all can be specified with QwtScaleDraw::setGeometry(). The labels can be rotated and aligned to the ticks using QwtScaleDraw::setLabelRotation(), QwtScaleDraw::setLabelAlignment().

After a scale division has been specified as a QwtScaleDiv object using QwtScaleDraw::setScale(const QwtScaleDiv &s), or determined internally using QwtScaleDraw::setScale(double vmin, double vmax, int maxMajIntv, int maxMinIntv, double step = 0.0, int logarithmic = 0), the scale can be drawn with the QwtScaleDraw::draw() member.

void QwtScaleDraw::setAngleRange (double angle1, double angle2)

Adjust the baseline circle segment for round scales.

The baseline will be drawn from min(angle1,angle2) to max(angle1,
angle2). The settings have no effect if the scale orientation is not
set to QwtScaleDraw::Round. The default setting is [ -135, 135 ]. An
angle of 0 degrees corresponds to the 12 o'clock position, and positive angles count in a clockwise direction.

Parameters:

angle1
angle2 boundaries of the angle interval in degrees.

Warning:

· The angle range is limited to [-360, 360] degrees. Angles

exceeding this range will be clipped.

· For angles more than 359 degrees above or below min(angle1,

angle2), scale marks will not be drawn.

· If you need a counterclockwise scale, use QwtScaleDiv::setRange

void QwtScaleDraw::setGeometry (int xorigin, int yorigin, int length,

Orientation o)
Specify the geometry of the scale.
The parameters xorigin, yorigin and length have different meanings,
dependent on the orientation:
QwtScaleDraw::Left

The origin is the topmost point of the baseline. The baseline is a vertical line with the specified length. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the left of the baseline.

QwtScaleDraw::Right

The origin is the topmost point of the baseline. The baseline is a vertical line with the specified length. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the right of the baseline.

QwtScaleDraw::Top

The origin is the leftmost point of the baseline. The baseline is a horizontal line with the specified length. Scale marks and labels
are drawn above the baseline.

QwtScaleDraw::Bottom

The origin is the leftmost point of the baseline. The baseline is a horizontal line with the specified length. Scale marks and labels
are drawn below the baseline.

QwtScaleDraw::Round

The origin is the top left corner of the bounding rectangle of the baseline circle. The baseline is the segment of a circle with a
diameter of the specified length. Scale marks and labels are drawn outside the baseline circle.

Parameters:

xorigin x coordinate of the origin
yorigin y coordinate of the origin
length length or diameter of the scale, excluding border distance o The orientation

void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelAlignment (int alignment)

Labels are aligned to the point ticklength + margin away from the
backbone. The alignment is relative to the orientation of the label
text. In case of an alignment of 0 the label will be aligned depending on the orientation of the scale:
QwtScaleDraw::Top: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignTop

QwtScaleDraw::Bottom: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignBottom
QwtScaleDraw::Left: Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter
QwtScaleDraw::Right: Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignVCenter

Changing the alignment is often necessary for rotated labels.
Parameters:

alignment Or'd Qt::AlignmentFlags <see qnamespace.h>

Warning:

Alignment of labels is not implemented for round scales.
