## Detailed Description

QwtPlotZoomer provides stacked zooming for a plot widget.

QwtPlotZoomer offers rubberband selections on the plot canvas, translating the selected rectangles into plot coordinates and adjusting the axes to them. Zooming can repeated as often as possible, limited only by maxStackDepth() or minZoomSize(). Each rectangle is pushed on a stack.

Zoom rectangles can be selected depending on selectionFlags() using the mouse or keyboard (QwtEventPattern, QwtPickerMachine). QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect3/QwtEventPatternKeyUndo, or QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect6/QwtEventPatternKeyRedo walk up and down the zoom stack. QwtEventPattern::MouseSelect2 or QwtEventPattern::KeyHome unzoom to the initial size.

QwtPlotZoomer is tailored for plots with one x and y axis, but it is allowed to attach a second QwtPlotZoomer for the other axes.

Note:
  The realtime example includes an derived zoomer class that adds scrollbars to the plot canvas.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtPlotZoomer::QwtPlotZoomer | ( | QwtPlotCanvas * | canvas,
|  | bool | doReplot = `true`
| ) | `[explicit]`

  | Create a zoomer for a plot canvas. The zoomer is set to those x- and y-axis of the parent plot of the canvas that are enabled. If both or no x-axis are enabled, the picker is set to QwtPlot::xBottom. If both or no y-axis are enabled, it is set to QwtPlot::yLeft. The selectionFlags() are set to QwtPicker::RectSelection & QwtPicker::ClickSelection, the tracker mode to QwtPicker::ActiveOnly. Parameters:
  | canvas | Plot canvas to observe, also the parent object
  | doReplot | Call replot for the attached plot before initializing the zoomer with its scales. This might be necessary, when the plot is in a state with pending scale changes.

void QwtPlotZoomer::setMaxStackDepth | ( | int | depth | ) |

  | Limit the number of recursive zoom operations to depth. A value of -1 set the depth to unlimited, 0 disables zooming. If the current zoom rectangle is below depth, the plot is unzoomed. Parameters:
  | depth | Maximum for the stack depth
See also: maxStackDepth() Note: depth doesn't include the zoom base, so zoomStack().count() might be maxStackDepth() + 1. Definition at line 145 of file qwt_plot_zoomer.cpp. References zoom().

void QwtPlotZoomer::setSelectionFlags | ( | int | flags | ) | `[virtual]`

  | Set the selection flags Parameters:

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase | ( | const QwtDoubleRect & | base | ) | `[virtual]`

  | Set the initial size of the zoomer. base is united with the current scaleRect() and the zoom stack is reinitalized with it as zoom base. plot is zoomed to scaleRect(). Parameters:

See also: zoomBase(), scaleRect() Definition at line 231 of file qwt_plot_zoomer.cpp. References QwtPlotPicker::plot(), rescale(), and QwtPlotPicker::scaleRect().

void QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Reinitialized the zoom stack with scaleRect() as base. See also: zoomBase(), scaleRect() Warning: Calling QwtPlot::setAxisScale() while QwtPlot::autoReplot() is false leaves the axis in an 'intermediate' state. In this case, to prevent buggy behaviour, you must call QwtPlot::replot() before calling QwtPlotZoomer::setZoomBase(). This quirk will be removed in a future release.

void QwtPlotZoomer::zoom | ( | int | offset | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

  | Zoom in or out. Activate a rectangle on the zoom stack with an offset relative to the current position. Negative values of offest will zoom out, positive zoom in. A value of 0 zooms out to the zoom base. Parameters:
  | offset | Offset relative to the current position of the zoom stack.
