QwtScaleDraw(3)

NAME
QwtScaleDraw -

SYNOPSIS

Inherits QwtAbstractScaleDraw.

Detailed Description

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.

  void QwtScaleDraw::move (const QPoint & pos)

Move the position of the scale.

The meaning of the parameter pos depends on the alignment:

QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale
    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.

QwtScaleDraw::RightScale
    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.

QwtScaleDraw::TopScale
    The origin is the leftmost point of the backbone. The backbone is a horizontal line. Scale marks and labels are drawn above the backbone.

QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale
    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

Referenced by QwtThermo::layoutThermo(), and QwtScaleWidget::setScaleDraw().

  void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelAlignment (Qt::Alignment 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().

Definition at line 821 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

  void QwtScaleDraw::setLabelRotation (double rotation)

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.

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

Definition at line 779 of file qwt_scale_draw.cpp.

  void QwtScaleDraw::setLength (int length)

Set the length of the backbone.

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