Detailed Description

The Counter Widget.

A Counter consists of a label displaying a number and one ore more (up to three) push buttons on each side of the label which can be used to increment or decrement the counter's value.

A counter has a range from a minimum value to a maximum value and a step size. When the wrapping property is set the counter is circular.

The number of steps by which a button increments or decrements the value can be specified using setIncSteps(). The number of buttons can be changed with setNumButtons().

Example:

#include <qwt_counter.h>
QwtCounter *counter = new QwtCounter(parent);
counter->setRange(0.0, 100.0);                  // From 0.0 to 100
counter->setSingleStep( 1.0 );                  // Step size 1.0
counter->setNumButtons(2);                      // Two buttons each side
counter->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button1, 1);   // Button 1 increments 1 step
counter->setIncSteps(QwtCounter::Button2, 20);  // Button 2 increments 20 steps
connect(counter, SIGNAL(valueChanged(double)), myClass, SLOT(newValue(double)));

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtCounter::Button

Button index.

Enumerator

Button1: Button intended for minor steps.
Button2: Button intended for medium steps.
Button3: Button intended for large steps.
ButtonCnt: Number of buttons.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtCounter::QwtCounter (QWidget * parent = NULL) [explicit]

The counter is initialized with a range is set to [0.0, 1.0] with 0.01 as single step size. The value is invalid.

The default number of buttons is set to 2. The default increments are:

Button 1: 1 step
Button 2: 10 steps
Button 3: 100 steps

Parameters:

parent
