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 #include 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 78 of file qwt_plot.h.

With this map pixel coordinates can translated to plot coordinates and vice versa. See also QwtScaleMap, transform(), invTransform() Definition at line 800 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::drawCanvas (QPainter * painter) [virtual] Redraw the canvas. Parameters painter Painter used for drawing Warning drawCanvas calls drawItems what is also used for printing. Applications that like to add individual plot items better overload drawItems() See also drawItems() Definition at line 742 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::drawItems (QPainter * painter, const QRectF & canvasRect, const QwtScaleMap maps[QwtAxis::AxisPositions]) const [virtual] Redraw the canvas items. Parameters painter Painter used for drawing canvasRect Bounding rectangle where to paint maps QwtAxis::AxisCount maps, mapping between plot and paint device coordinates Note Usually canvasRect is contentsRect() of the plot canvas. Due to a bug in Qt this rectangle might be wrong for certain frame styles ( f.e QFrame::Box ) and it might be necessary to fix the margins manually using QWidget::setContentsMargins() Definition at line 764 of file qwt_plot.cpp. bool QwtPlot::event (QEvent * event) [override], [virtual] Adds handling of layout requests. Parameters event Event Returns See QFrame::event() Definition at line 237 of file qwt_plot.cpp. bool QwtPlot::eventFilter (QObject * object, QEvent * event) [override], [virtual] Event filter. The plot handles the following events for the canvas: o QEvent::Resize The canvas margins might depend on its size o QEvent::ContentsRectChange The layout needs to be recalculated Parameters object Object to be filtered event Event Returns See QFrame::eventFilter() See also updateCanvasMargins(), updateLayout() Definition at line 271 of file qwt_plot.cpp. QwtText QwtPlot::footer () const Returns Text of the footer Definition at line 395 of file qwt_plot.cpp. QwtTextLabel * QwtPlot::footerLabel () Returns Footer label widget.

Definition at line 407 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::getCanvasMarginsHint (const QwtScaleMap maps[], const QRectF & canvasRect, double & left, double & top, double & right, double & bottom) const [virtual] Calculate the canvas margins. Parameters maps QwtAxis::AxisCount maps, mapping between plot and paint device coordinates canvasRect Bounding rectangle where to paint left Return parameter for the left margin top Return parameter for the top margin right Return parameter for the right margin bottom Return parameter for the bottom margin Plot items might indicate, that they need some extra space at the borders of the canvas by the QwtPlotItem::Margins flag. updateCanvasMargins(), QwtPlotItem::getCanvasMarginHint() Definition at line 670 of file qwt_plot.cpp. 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() ) return qvariant_cast( itemInfo ); 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. 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. 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 397 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. 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. bool QwtPlot::isAxisVisible (QwtAxisId axisId) const Returns True, if a specified axis is visible Parameters axisId Axis Definition at line 225 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::itemAttached (QwtPlotItem * plotItem, bool on) [signal] A signal indicating, that an item has been attached/detached Parameters plotItem Plot item on Attached/Detached QVariant QwtPlot::itemToInfo (QwtPlotItem * plotItem) const [virtual] Build an information, that can be used to identify a plot item on the legend. The default implementation simply wraps the plot item into a QVariant object. When overloading itemToInfo() usually infoToItem() needs to reimplemeted too. Parameters plotItem Plot item Returns Plot item embedded in a QVariant See also infoToItem() Definition at line 1139 of file qwt_plot.cpp. QwtAbstractLegend * QwtPlot::legend () Returns the plot's legend See also insertLegend() Definition at line 445 of file qwt_plot.cpp. const QwtAbstractLegend * QwtPlot::legend () const Returns the plot's legend See also insertLegend() Definition at line 454 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::legendDataChanged (const QVariant & itemInfo, const QList< QwtLegendData > & data) [signal] A signal with the attributes how to update the legend entries for a plot item. Parameters itemInfo Info about a plot item, build from itemToInfo() data Attributes of the entries ( usually <= 1 ) for the plot item. See also itemToInfo(), infoToItem(), QwtAbstractLegend::updateLegend() QwtPlotLayout * QwtPlot::plotLayout () Returns the plot's layout Definition at line 430 of file qwt_plot.cpp. const QwtPlotLayout * QwtPlot::plotLayout () const Returns the plot's layout Definition at line 436 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::replot () [virtual], [slot] Redraw the plot. If the autoReplot option is not set (which is the default) or if any curves are attached to raw data, the plot has to be refreshed explicitly in order to make changes visible. See also updateAxes(), setAutoReplot() Definition at line 545 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::resizeEvent (QResizeEvent * e) [override], [protected], [virtual] Resize and update internal layout Parameters e Resize event Definition at line 530 of file qwt_plot.cpp. 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() Definition at line 310 of file qwt_plot.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisAutoScale (QwtAxisId axisId, bool on = true) Enable autoscaling for a specified axis. 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() ). Definition at line 449 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisFont (QwtAxisId axisId, const QFont & font) Change the font of an axis. Parameters axisId Axis font Font Warning This function changes the font of the tick labels, not of the axis title. Definition at line 430 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisLabelAlignment (QwtAxisId axisId, Qt::Alignment alignment) Change the alignment of the tick labels Parameters axisId Axis alignment Or'd Qt::AlignmentFlags see See also QwtScaleDraw::setLabelAlignment() Definition at line 549 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisLabelRotation (QwtAxisId axisId, double rotation) Rotate all tick labels Parameters axisId Axis rotation Angle in degrees. When changing the label rotation, the label alignment might be adjusted too. See also QwtScaleDraw::setLabelRotation(), setAxisLabelAlignment() Definition at line 564 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisMaxMajor (QwtAxisId axisId, int maxMajor) Set the maximum number of major scale intervals for a specified axis Parameters axisId Axis maxMajor Maximum number of major steps See also axisMaxMajor() Definition at line 602 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisMaxMinor (QwtAxisId axisId, int maxMinor) Set the maximum number of minor scale intervals for a specified axis Parameters axisId Axis maxMinor Maximum number of minor steps See also axisMaxMinor() Definition at line 578 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisScale (QwtAxisId axisId, double min, double max, double stepSize = 0) Disable autoscaling and specify a fixed scale for a selected axis. In updateAxes() the scale engine calculates a scale division from the specified parameters, that will be assigned to the scale widget. So updates of the scale widget usually happen delayed with the next 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. See also setAxisMaxMajor(), setAxisAutoScale(), axisStepSize(), QwtScaleEngine::divideScale() Definition at line 473 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisScaleDiv (QwtAxisId axisId, const QwtScaleDiv & scaleDiv) Disable autoscaling and specify a fixed scale for a selected axis. 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 502 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisScaleDraw (QwtAxisId axisId, QwtScaleDraw * scaleDraw) Set a scale draw. Parameters axisId Axis scaleDraw Object responsible for drawing scales. By passing scaleDraw it is possible to extend QwtScaleDraw functionality and let it take place in QwtPlot. Please note that scaleDraw has to be created with new and will be deleted by the corresponding QwtScale member ( like a child object ). See also QwtScaleDraw, QwtScaleWidget Warning The attributes of scaleDraw will be overwritten by those of the previous QwtScaleDraw. Definition at line 532 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisScaleEngine (QwtAxisId axisId, QwtScaleEngine * scaleEngine) Change the scale engine for an axis Parameters axisId Axis scaleEngine Scale engine See also axisScaleEngine() Definition at line 169 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisTitle (QwtAxisId axisId, const QString & title) Change the title of a specified axis. Parameters axisId Axis title axis title Definition at line 624 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. void QwtPlot::setAxisTitle (QwtAxisId axisId, const QwtText & title) Change the title of a specified axis. Parameters axisId Axis title Axis title Definition at line 636 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. 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 376 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. 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: o replot() When the canvas doesn't offer a replot method, QwtPlot calls update() instead. o 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. 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. 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. 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. void QwtPlot::setPlotLayout (QwtPlotLayout * layout) Assign a new plot layout.

Definition at line 357 of file qwt_plot.cpp. const QwtTextLabel * QwtPlot::titleLabel () const Returns Title label widget. Definition at line 363 of file qwt_plot.cpp. 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 414 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. 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(). See also setAxisAutoScale(), setAxisScale(), setAxisScaleDiv(), replot() QwtPlotItem::boundingRect() Definition at line 666 of file qwt_plot_axis.cpp. 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. void QwtPlot::updateLayout () [virtual] Adjust plot content to its current size.
