QwtRasterData defines an interface to any type of raster data.

QwtRasterData is an abstract interface, that is used by QwtPlotRasterItem to find the values at the pixels of its raster.

Gaps inside the bounding rectangle of the data can be indicated by NaN values ( when WithoutGaps is disabled ).

Often a raster item is used to display values from a matrix. Then the derived raster data class needs to implement some sort of resampling, that maps the raster of the matrix into the requested raster of the raster item ( depending on resolution and scales of the canvas ).

QwtMatrixRasterData implements raster data, that returns values from a given 2D matrix.

typedef QFlags<Attribute > QwtRasterData::Attributes

An ORed combination of Attribute values.

Definition at line 74 of file qwt_raster_data.h.

typedef QFlags<ConrecFlag > QwtRasterData::ConrecFlags

An ORed combination of ConrecFlag values.

enum QwtRasterData::Attribute

Raster data attributes. Additional information that is used to improve processing of the data.

Enumerator

The bounding rectangle of the data is spanned by the interval(Qt::XAxis) and interval(Qt::YAxis).

WithoutGaps indicates, that the data has no gaps ( unknown values ) in this area and the result of value() does not need to be checked for NaN values.

Enabling this flag will have an positive effect on the performance of rendering a QwtPlotSpectrogram.

The default setting is false.

Note

NaN values indicate an undefined value

Definition at line 54 of file qwt_raster_data.h.

enum QwtRasterData::ConrecFlag

Flags to modify the contour algorithm.

Enumerator

Ignore all vertices on the same level.
Ignore all values, that are out of range.

QwtRasterData::ContourLines QwtRasterData::contourLines (const QRectF & rect, const QSize & raster, const QList< double > & levels, ConrecFlags flags) const [virtual]

Calculate contour lines

Parameters

rect Bounding rectangle for the contour lines
raster Number of data pixels of the raster data
levels List of limits, where to insert contour lines
flags Flags to customize the contouring algorithm

Returns

Calculated contour lines

Discard a raster. After the composition of an image QwtPlotSpectrogram calls discardRaster().

The default implementation does nothing, but if data has been loaded in initRaster(), it could deleted now.

initRaster(), value()

Definition at line 237 of file qwt_raster_data.cpp.

Initialize a raster. Before the composition of an image QwtPlotSpectrogram calls initRaster(), announcing the area and its resolution that will be requested.

The default implementation does nothing, but for data sets that are stored in files, it might be good idea to reimplement initRaster(), where the data is resampled and loaded into memory.

Parameters

area Area of the raster
raster Number of horizontal and vertical pixels

initRaster(), value()

Definition at line 221 of file qwt_raster_data.cpp.

Returns

Bounding interval for an axis

Implemented in QwtMatrixRasterData.

Pixel hint. pixelHint() returns the geometry of a pixel, that can be used to calculate the resolution and alignment of the plot item, that is representing the data.

Width and height of the hint need to be the horizontal and vertical distances between 2 neighbored points. The center of the hint has to be the position of any point ( it doesn't matter which one ).

An empty hint indicates, that there are values for any detail level.

Limiting the resolution of the image might significantly improve the performance and heavily reduce the amount of memory when rendering a QImage from the raster data.

The default implementation returns an empty rectangle recommending to render in target device ( f.e. screen ) resolution.

Parameters

area In most implementations the resolution of the data doesn't depend on the requested area.

Returns

Bounding rectangle of a pixel

Reimplemented in QwtMatrixRasterData.

Specify an attribute of the data

Parameters

Returns

the value at a raster position

Parameters
