QwtPlotHistogram represents a series of samples, where an interval is associated with a value ( $y = f([x1,x2])$ ).

The representation depends on the style() and an optional symbol() that is displayed for each interval.

Note

The term 'histogram' is used in a different way in the areas of digital image processing and statistics. Wikipedia introduces the terms 'image histogram' and 'color histogram' to avoid confusions. While 'image histograms' can be displayed by a QwtPlotCurve there is no applicable plot item for a 'color histogram' yet.

Histogram styles. The default style is QwtPlotHistogram::Columns.

See also

setStyle(), style(), setSymbol(), symbol(), setBaseline()

Enumerator

Draw an outline around the area, that is build by all intervals using the pen() and fill it with the brush(). The outline style requires, that the intervals are in increasing order and not overlapping.
Draw a column for each interval. When a symbol() has been set the symbol is used otherwise the column is displayed as plain rectangle using pen() and brush().
Draw a simple line using the pen() for each interval.
Styles >= UserStyle are reserved for derived classes that overload drawSeries() with additional application specific ways to display a histogram.

QwtColumnRect QwtPlotHistogram::columnRect (const QwtIntervalSample & sample, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const QwtScaleMap & yMap) const [protected], [virtual]

Calculate the area that is covered by a sample

Parameters

sample Sample
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.

Returns

Rectangle, that is covered by a sample

Definition at line 602 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Draw a column for a sample in Columns style().

When a symbol() has been set the symbol is used otherwise the column is displayed as plain rectangle using pen() and brush().

Parameters

painter Painter
rect Rectangle where to paint the column in paint device coordinates
sample Sample to be displayed

Note

In applications, where different intervals need to be displayed in a different way ( f.e different colors or even using different symbols) it is recommended to overload drawColumn().

Definition at line 653 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Draw a histogram in Columns style()

Parameters

painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the histogram will be painted to its last point.

Draw a histogram in Lines style()

Parameters

painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the histogram will be painted to its last point.

Draw a histogram in Outline style()

Parameters

painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the histogram will be painted to its last point.

Warning

The outline style requires, that the intervals are in increasing order and not overlapping.

Draw a subset of the histogram samples

Parameters

painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
canvasRect Contents rectangle of the canvas
from Index of the first sample to be painted
to Index of the last sample to be painted. If to < 0 the series will be painted to its last sample.

Set the value of the baseline. Each column representing an QwtIntervalSample is defined by its interval and the interval between baseline and the value of the sample.

The default value of the baseline is 0.0.

Parameters

value Value of the baseline

See also

baseline()

Definition at line 240 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Assign a brush, that is used in a style() depending way.

Parameters

brush New brush

pen(), brush()

Definition at line 174 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Build and assign a pen

In Qt5 the default pen width is 1.0 ( 0.0 in Qt4 ) what makes it non cosmetic ( see QPen::isCosmetic() ). This method has been introduced to hide this incompatibility.

Parameters

color Pen color
width Pen width
style Pen style

See also

pen(), brush()

Definition at line 137 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Assign a pen, that is used in a style() depending way.

Parameters

pen New pen

See also

pen(), brush()

Definition at line 148 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Initialize data with an array of samples.

Parameters

samples Vector of points

Definition at line 299 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Assign a series of samples

setSamples() is just a wrapper for setData() without any additional value - beside that it is easier to find for the developer.

Parameters

data Data

Warning

The item takes ownership of the data object, deleting it when its not used anymore.

Definition at line 315 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Set the histogram's drawing style

Parameters

style Histogram style

See also

HistogramStyle, style()

Definition at line 104 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Assign a symbol. In Column style an optional symbol can be assigned, that is responsible for displaying the rectangle that is defined by the interval and the distance between baseline() and value. When no symbol has been defined the area is displayed as plain rectangle using pen() and brush().

See also

style(), symbol(), drawColumn(), pen(), brush()

Note

In applications, where different intervals need to be displayed in a different way ( f.e different colors or even using different symbols) it is recommended to overload drawColumn().

QwtPlotHistogram::HistogramStyle QwtPlotHistogram::style () const

Returns

Style of the histogram

See also

HistogramStyle, setStyle()

Definition at line 119 of file qwt_plot_histogram.cpp.

Returns

Current symbol or NULL, when no symbol has been assigned
