Detailed Description
Base class for items on the plot canvas.
A plot item is 'something', that can be painted on the plot canvas, or
only affects the scales of the plot widget. They can be categorized as:
· Representator
A 'Representator' is an item that represents some sort of data on
the plot canvas. The different representator classes are organized
according to the characteristics of the data:
· QwtPlotMarker Represents a point or a horizontal/vertical
coordinate
· QwtPlotCurve Represents a series of points
· QwtPlotSpectrogram ( QwtPlotRasterItem ) Represents raster data
· ...
· Decorators
A 'Decorator' is an item, that displays additional information, that
is not related to any data:
· QwtPlotGrid
· QwtPlotScaleItem
· QwtPlotSvgItem
· ...
Depending on the QwtPlotItem::ItemAttribute flags, an item is included
into autoscaling or has an entry on the legnd.
Before misusing the existing item classes it might be better to
implement a new type of plot item ( don't implement a watermark as
spectrogram ). Deriving a new type of QwtPlotItem primarily means to
implement the YourPlotItem::draw() method.
See also:
The cpuplot example shows the implementation of additional plot
items.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
QwtPlotItem::QwtPlotItem (const QwtText &title = QwtText()) [explicit]
Constructor
Parameters:
title Title of the item
Member Function Documentation
void QwtPlotItem::attach (QwtPlot *plot)
Attach the item to a plot. This method will attach a QwtPlotItem to the
QwtPlot argument. It will first detach the QwtPlotItem from any plot
from a previous call to attach (if necessary). If a NULL argument is
passed, it will detach from any QwtPlot it was attached to.
Parameters:
plot Plot widget
See also:
QwtPlotItem::detach()
QwtDoubleRect QwtPlotItem::boundingRect () const [virtual]
Returns:
An invalid bounding rect: QwtDoubleRect(1.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0)
Reimplemented in QwtPlotCurve, QwtPlotMarker, QwtPlotSpectrogram, and
QwtPlotSvgItem.
void QwtPlotItem::detach () [inline]
This method detaches a QwtPlotItem from any QwtPlot it has been
associated with. detach() is equivalent to calling attach( NULL )
See also:
attach( QwtPlot* plot )
virtual void QwtPlotItem::draw (QPainter *painter, const QwtScaleMap &xMap,
const QwtScaleMap &yMap, const QRect &canvasRect) const [pure virtual]
Draw the item. Parameters:
painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
canvasRect Contents rect of the canvas in painter coordinates
Implemented in QwtPlotCurve, QwtPlotMarker, QwtPlotScaleItem,
QwtPlotSpectrogram, QwtPlotRasterItem, QwtPlotGrid, and QwtPlotSvgItem.
QwtDoubleRect QwtPlotItem::invTransform (const QwtScaleMap &xMap, const
QwtScaleMap &yMap, const QRect &rect) const
Transform a rectangle from paint to scale coordinates
Parameters:
xMap X map
yMap Y map
rect Rectangle in paint coordinates
Returns:
Rectangle in scale coordinates
See also:
transform()
bool QwtPlotItem::isVisible () const
Returns:
true if visible
See also:
setVisible(), show(), hide()
void QwtPlotItem::itemChanged () [virtual]
Update the legend and call QwtPlot::autoRefresh for the parent plot.
See also:
updateLegend()
QWidget * QwtPlotItem::legendItem () const [virtual]
Allocate the widget that represents the item on the legend. The default
implementation is made for QwtPlotCurve and returns a QwtLegendItem(),
but an item could be represented by any type of widget, by overloading
legendItem() and updateLegend().
Returns:
QwtLegendItem()
See also:
updateLegend()QwtLegend()
Implements QwtLegendItemManager.
QRect QwtPlotItem::paintRect (const QwtScaleMap &xMap, const QwtScaleMap
&yMap) const
Calculate the bounding paint rect of 2 maps. Parameters:
xMap X map
yMap X map
Returns:
Bounding rect of the scale maps
int QwtPlotItem::rtti () const [virtual]
Return rtti for the specific class represented. QwtPlotItem is simply a
virtual interface class, and base classes will implement this method
with specific rtti values so a user can differentiate them.
The rtti value is useful for environments, where the runtime type
information is disabled and it is not possible to do a
dynamic_cast<...>.
Returns:
rtti value
See also:
RttiValues
Reimplemented in QwtPlotCurve, QwtPlotSpectrogram, QwtPlotMarker,
QwtPlotScaleItem, QwtPlotSvgItem, and QwtPlotGrid.
QwtDoubleRect QwtPlotItem::scaleRect (const QwtScaleMap &xMap, const
QwtScaleMap &yMap) const
Calculate the bounding scale rect of 2 maps. Parameters:
xMap X map
yMap X map
Returns:
Bounding rect of the scale maps
void QwtPlotItem::setAxis (intxAxis, intyAxis)

void QwtPlotItem::updateLegend (QwtLegend *legend) const [virtual]
Update the widget that represents the item on the legend.
updateLegend() is called from itemChanged() to adopt the widget
representing the item on the legend to its new configuration.

QwtLegendItem(), but an item could be represented by any type of
widget, by overloading legendItem() and updateLegend().
Parameters:
legend Legend

void QwtPlotItem::updateScaleDiv (const QwtScaleDiv &, const QwtScaleDiv &)
[virtual]
Update the item to changes of the axes scale division. Update the item,
when the axes of plot have changed. The default implementation does
nothing, but items that depend on the scale division (like
QwtPlotGrid()) have to reimplement updateScaleDiv()
Parameters:
xScaleDiv Scale division of the x-axis
yScaleDiv Scale division of the y-axis
See also:
QwtPlot::updateAxes()
Reimplemented in QwtPlotScaleItem, and QwtPlotGrid.
