A class for drawing scales.

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

After a scale division has been specified as a QwtScaleDiv object using QwtAbstractScaleDraw::setScaleDiv(const QwtScaleDiv &s), the scale can be drawn with the QwtAbstractScaleDraw::draw() member.

Alignment of the scale draw

See also:

setAlignment(), alignment()

Constructor. The range of the scale is initialized to [0, 100], The position is at (0, 0) with a length of 100. The orientation is QwtAbstractScaleDraw::Bottom.

QwtScaleDraw::Alignment QwtScaleDraw::alignment () const

Return alignment of the scale

See also:

setAlignment()

Find the bounding rect for the label. The coordinates of the rect are absolute coordinates ( calculated from pos() ). in direction of the tick.

Parameters:

font Font used for painting
value Value

See also:

labelRect()

Draws the baseline of the scale

Parameters:

painter Painter

See also:

drawTick(), drawLabel()

Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

Draws the label for a major scale tick

Parameters:

painter Painter
value Value

See also:

drawTick(), drawBackbone(), boundingLabelRect()

Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

Draw a tick

Parameters:

painter Painter
value Value of the tick
len Length of the tick

See also:

drawBackbone(), drawLabel()

Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

Calculate the width/height that is needed for a vertical/horizontal scale.

The extent is calculated from the pen width of the backbone, the major tick length, the spacing and the maximum width/height of the labels.

Parameters:

pen Pen that is used for painting backbone and ticks
font Font used for painting the labels

See also:

minLength()

Implements QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

Determine the minimum border distance. This member function returns the minimum space needed to draw the mark labels at the scale's endpoints.

Parameters:

font Font
start Start border distance
end End border distance

Returns:

the label flags

See also:

setLabelAlignment(), labelRotation()

Calculate the matrix that is needed to paint a label depending on its alignment and rotation.

Parameters:

pos Position where to paint the label
size Size of the label

See also:

setLabelAlignment(), setLabelRotation()

Find the position, where to paint a label

The position has a distance of majTickLength() + spacing() + 1 from the backbone. The direction depends on the alignment()

Parameters:

value Value

Find the bounding rect for the label. The coordinates of the rect are relative to spacing + ticklength from the backbone in direction of the tick.

Parameters:

font Font used for painting
value Value

Returns:

the label rotation

See also:

setLabelRotation(), labelAlignment()

Calculate the size that is needed to draw a label

Parameters:

font Label font
value Value

Returns:

the length of the backbone

See also:

setLength(), pos()

Parameters:

font Font

Returns:

the maximum height of a label

Parameters:

font Font

Returns:

the maximum width of a label

Determine the minimum distance between two labels, that is necessary that the texts don't overlap.

Parameters:

font Font

Returns:

The maximum width of a label

See also:

getBorderDistHint()

Calculate the minimum length that is needed to draw the scale

Parameters:

pen Pen that is used for painting backbone and ticks
font Font used for painting the labels

See also:

extent()

Move the position of the scale

See also:

move(const QPoint &)

Move the position of the scale. The meaning of the parameter pos depends on the alignment:

The origin is the topmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a vertical line. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the left of the backbone.
The origin is the topmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a vertical line. Scale marks and labels are drawn at the right of the backbone.
The origin is the leftmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a horizontal line. Scale marks and labels are drawn above the backbone.
The origin is the leftmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a horizontal line Scale marks and labels are drawn below the backbone.

Parameters:

pos Origin of the scale

See also:

pos(), setLength()

Return the orientation

TopScale, BottomScale are horizontal (Qt::Horizontal) scales, LeftScale, RightScale are vertical (Qt::Vertical) scales.

See also:

alignment()

Returns:

Origin of the scale

See also:

move(), length()

Set the alignment of the scale

The default alignment is QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale

See also:

alignment()

Change the label flags. Labels are aligned to the point ticklength + spacing away from the backbone.

The alignment is relative to the orientation of the label text. In case of an flags of 0 the label will be aligned depending on the orientation of the scale:

QwtScaleDraw::TopScale: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignTop
QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignBottom
QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale: Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter
QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignVCenter

Changing the alignment is often necessary for rotated labels.

Parameters:

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

See also:

setLabelRotation(), labelRotation(), labelAlignment()

Warning:

The various alignments might be confusing. The alignment of the label is not the alignment of the scale and is not the alignment of the flags (QwtText::flags()) returned from QwtAbstractScaleDraw::label().

Rotate all labels.

When changing the rotation, it might be necessary to adjust the label flags too. Finding a useful combination is often the result of try and error.

Parameters:

rotation Angle in degrees. When changing the label rotation, the label flags often needs to be adjusted too.

See also:

setLabelAlignment(), labelRotation(), labelAlignment().

Set the length of the backbone.

The length doesn't include the space needed for overlapping labels.

move(), minLabelDist()
