Detailed Description

Synthetic point data.

QwtSyntheticPointData provides a fixed number of points for an interval. The points are calculated in equidistant steps in x-direction.

If the interval is invalid, the points are calculated for the ’rectangle of interest’, what normally is the displayed area on the plot canvas. In this mode you get different levels of detail, when zooming in/out.

Example

The following example shows how to implement a sinus curve.

#include <cmath>
#include <qwt_series_data.h>
#include <qwt_plot_curve.h>
#include <qwt_plot.h>
#include <qapplication.h>

class SinusData: public QwtSyntheticPointData
{
public:
SinusData():
QwtSyntheticPointData( 100 )
{
}

virtual double y( double x ) const
{
return qSin( x );
}
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );

QwtPlot plot;
plot.setAxisScale( QwtPlot::xBottom, 0.0, 10.0 );
plot.setAxisScale( QwtPlot::yLeft, -1.0, 1.0 );

QwtPlotCurve *curve = new QwtPlotCurve( "y = sin(x)" );
curve->setData( new SinusData() );
curve->attach( &plot );

plot.show();
return a.exec();
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtSyntheticPointData::QwtSyntheticPointData (size_t size, constQwtInterval & interval = QwtInterval())

Constructor

Parameters:

size Number of points
interval Bounding interval for the points

See also:

setInterval() , setSize()

Member Function Documentation

QRectF QwtSyntheticPointData::boundingRect () const [virtual]

Calculate the bounding rectangle. This implementation iterates over all points, what could often be implemented much faster using the characteristics of the series. When there are many points it is recommended to overload and reimplement this method using the characteristics of the series ( if possible ).

Returns:

Bounding rectangle

Implements QwtSeriesData< QPointF > .

QwtInterval QwtSyntheticPointData::interval () const

Returns:

Bounding interval

See also:

setInterval() , size()

QRectF QwtSyntheticPointData::rectOfInterest () const

Returns:

See also:

setRectOfInterest()

QPointF QwtSyntheticPointData::sample (size_t index) const [virtual]

Calculate the point from an index

Parameters:

index Index

Returns:

QPointF(x(index), y(x(index)));

Warning:

For invalid indices ( index < 0 || index >= size() ) (0, 0) is returned.

Implements QwtSeriesData< QPointF > .

void QwtSyntheticPointData::setInterval (const QwtInterval & interval)

Set the bounding interval

Parameters:

interval Interval

See also:

interval() , setSize()

void QwtSyntheticPointData::setRectOfInterest (const QRectF & rect)[virtual]

Set a the ’rectangle of interest’

QwtPlotSeriesItem defines the current area of the plot canvas as ’rect of interest’ ( QwtPlotSeriesItem::updateScaleDiv() ).

If interval() .isValid() == false the x values are calculated in the interval rect.left() -> rect.right().

See also:

rectOfInterest()

Reimplemented from QwtSeriesData< QPointF > .

void QwtSyntheticPointData::setSize (size_t size)

Change the number of points

Parameters:

size Number of points

See also:

size() , setInterval()

size_t QwtSyntheticPointData::size () const [virtual]

Returns:

Number of points

See also:

setSize() , interval()

Implements QwtSeriesData< QPointF > .

double QwtSyntheticPointData::x (uint index) const [virtual]

Calculate a x-value from an index

x values are calculated by dividing an interval into equidistant steps. If !interval().isValid() the interval is calculated from the ’rectangle of interest’.

Parameters:

index Index of the requested point

Returns:

Calculated x coordinate

See also:

interval() , rectOfInterest() , y()

virtual double QwtSyntheticPointData::y (double x) const [pure virtual]

Calculate a y value for a x value

Parameters:

x x value

Returns:

Corresponding y value
