Detailed Description

Base class for scale engines.

A scale engine trys to find "reasonable" ranges and step sizes for scales.

The layout of the scale can be varied with setAttribute().

Qwt offers implementations for logarithmic (log10) and linear scales. Contributions for other types of scale engines (date/time, log2 ... ) are welcome.

Member Function Documentation

void QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute ( Attribute  attribute,
bool  on = true 
)

Change a scale attribute

Parameters:
attribute Attribute to change
on On/Off
The behaviour of the scale engine can be changed with the following attributes:
QwtScaleEngine::IncludeReference
Build a scale which includes the reference value.
QwtScaleEngine::Symmetric
Build a scale which is symmetric to the reference value.
QwtScaleEngine::Floating
The endpoints of the scale are supposed to be equal the outmost included values plus the specified margins (see setMargins()). If this attribute is not* set, the endpoints of the scale will be integer multiples of the step size.
QwtScaleEngine::Inverted
Turn the scale upside down.

bool QwtScaleEngine::testAttribute ( Attribute  attribute  )  const

Check if a attribute is set.

Parameters:
attribute Attribute to be tested
See also:
QwtScaleEngine::setAttribute() for a description of the possible options.

Parameters:
attributes Set scale attributes

void QwtScaleEngine::setMargins ( double  mlo,
double  mhi 
)

Specify margins at the scale's endpoints.

Parameters:
mlo minimum distance between the scale's lower boundary and the smallest enclosed value
mhi minimum distance between the scale's upper boundary and the greatest enclosed value
Margins can be used to leave a minimum amount of space between the enclosed intervals and the boundaries of the scale.

virtual void QwtScaleEngine::autoScale ( int  maxNumSteps,
double &  x1,
double &  x2,
double &  stepSize 
) const [pure virtual]

Align and divide an interval

Parameters:
maxNumSteps Max. number of steps
x1 First limit of the interval (In/Out)
x2 Second limit of the interval (In/Out)
stepSize Step size (Return value)

Calculate a scale division.

Parameters:
x1 First interval limit
x2 Second interval limit
maxMajSteps Maximum for the number of major steps
maxMinSteps Maximum number of minor steps
stepSize Step size. If stepSize == 0.0, the scaleEngine calculates one.
