QwtSeriesData< T > - Abstract interface for iterating over samples.
Contents
Detailed Description
template<typenameT>
class QwtSeriesData< T >" Abstract interface for iterating over samples.
Qwt offers several implementations of the QwtSeriesData API, but in situations, where data of an
application specific format needs to be displayed, without having to copy it, it is recommended to
implement an individual data access.
A subclass of QwtSeriesData<QPointF> must implement:
• size()
Should return number of data points.
• sample()
Should return values x and y values of the sample at specific position as QPointF object.
• boundingRect()
Should return the bounding rectangle of the data series. It is used for autoscaling and might help
certain algorithms for displaying the data. You can use qwtBoundingRect() for an implementation but
often it is possible to implement a more efficient algorithm depending on the characteristics of the
series. The member d_boundingRect is intended for caching the calculated rectangle.
Member Function Documentation
template<typenameT>virtualQRectFQwtSeriesData<T>::boundingRect()const[purevirtual]
Calculate the bounding rect of all samples
The bounding rect is necessary for autoscaling and can be used for a couple of painting optimizations.
qwtBoundingRect(...) offers slow implementations iterating over the samples. For large sets it is
recommended to implement something faster f.e. by caching the bounding rectangle.
Returns:
Bounding rectangle
Implemented in QwtTradingChartData, QwtSetSeriesData, QwtIntervalSeriesData, QwtPoint3DSeriesData,
QwtPointSeriesData, QwtSyntheticPointData, QwtCPointerData, and QwtPointArrayData.
template<typenameT>virtualTQwtSeriesData<T>::sample(size_ti)const[purevirtual]
Return a sample
Parameters:i Index
Returns:
Sample at position i
Implemented in QwtArraySeriesData<T>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtIntervalSample>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtOHLCSample>, QwtArraySeriesData<QPointF>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtPoint3D>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtSetSample>, QwtSyntheticPointData, QwtCPointerData, and QwtPointArrayData.
template<typenameT>voidQwtSeriesData<T>::setRectOfInterest(constQRectF&rect)[virtual]
Set a the 'rect of interest'
QwtPlotSeriesItem defines the current area of the plot canvas as 'rectangle of interest' (
QwtPlotSeriesItem::updateScaleDiv() ). It can be used to implement different levels of details.
The default implementation does nothing.
Parameters:rect Rectangle of interest
Reimplemented in QwtSyntheticPointData.
template<typenameT>virtualsize_tQwtSeriesData<T>::size()const[purevirtual]Returns:
Number of samples
Implemented in QwtArraySeriesData<T>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtIntervalSample>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtOHLCSample>, QwtArraySeriesData<QPointF>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtPoint3D>, QwtArraySeriesData<QwtSetSample>, QwtSyntheticPointData, QwtCPointerData, and QwtPointArrayData.
