QwtPicker provides selections on a widget.

QwtPicker filters all enter, leave, mouse and keyboard events of a widget and translates them into an array of selected points.

The way how the points are collected depends on type of state machine that is connected to the picker. Qwt offers a couple of predefined state machines for selecting:

While these state machines cover the most common ways to collect points it is also possible to implement individual machines as well.

QwtPicker translates the picked points into a selection using the adjustedPoints() method. adjustedPoints() is intended to be reimplemented to fix up the selection according to application specific requirements. (F.e. when an application accepts rectangles of a fixed aspect ratio only.)

Optionally QwtPicker support the process of collecting points by a rubber band and tracker displaying a text for the current mouse position.

Example

#include <qwt_picker.h>
#include <qwt_picker_machine.h>
QwtPicker *picker = new QwtPicker(widget);
picker->setStateMachine(new QwtPickerDragRectMachine);
picker->setTrackerMode(QwtPicker::ActiveOnly);
picker->setRubberBand(QwtPicker::RectRubberBand);

The state machine triggers the following commands:

The picker is active (isActive()), between begin() and end(). In active state the rubber band is displayed, and the tracker is visible in case of trackerMode is ActiveOnly or AlwaysOn.

The cursor can be moved using the arrow keys. All selections can be aborted using the abort key. (QwtEventPattern::KeyPatternCode)

Warning:

In case of QWidget::NoFocus the focus policy of the observed widget is set to QWidget::WheelFocus and mouse tracking will be manipulated while the picker is active, or if trackerMode() is AlwayOn.

enum QwtPicker::DisplayMode

Display mode.

See also:

setTrackerMode(), trackerMode(), isActive()

Enumerator

Display never.
Display always.
Display only when the selection is active.

enum QwtPicker::ResizeMode

Controls what to do with the selected points of an active selection when the observed widget is resized.

The default value is QwtPicker::Stretch.

See also:

setResizeMode()

Enumerator

All points are scaled according to the new size,.
All points remain unchanged.

enum QwtPicker::RubberBand

Rubber band style

The default value is QwtPicker::NoRubberBand.

See also:

setRubberBand(), rubberBand()

Enumerator

No rubberband.
A horizontal line ( only for QwtPickerMachine::PointSelection )
A vertical line ( only for QwtPickerMachine::PointSelection )
A crosshair ( only for QwtPickerMachine::PointSelection )
A rectangle ( only for QwtPickerMachine::RectSelection )
An ellipse ( only for QwtPickerMachine::RectSelection )
A polygon ( only for QwtPickerMachine::PolygonSelection )
Values >= UserRubberBand can be used to define additional rubber bands.

Constructor

Creates an picker that is enabled, but without a state machine. rubber band and tracker are disabled.

Parameters:

parent Parent widget, that will be observed

Constructor

Parameters:

rubberBand Rubber band style
trackerMode Tracker mode
parent Parent widget, that will be observed

Validate and fix up the selection. Accepts all selections unmodified

Parameters:

selection Selection to validate and fix up

Returns:

true, when accepted, false otherwise

Reimplemented in QwtPlotZoomer.

A signal indicating, when the picker has been activated. Together with setEnabled() it can be used to implement selections with more than one picker.

Parameters:

on True, when the picker has been activated

Map the pickedPoints() into a selection() adjustedPoints() maps the points, that have been collected on the parentWidget() into a selection(). The default implementation simply returns the points unmodified.

The reason, why a selection() differs from the picked points depends on the application requirements. F.e. :

  • A rectangular selection might need to have a specific aspect ratio only.
  • A selection could accept non intersecting polygons only.
  • ...

The example below is for a rectangular selection, where the first point is the center of the selected rectangle.

Example

QPolygon MyPicker::adjustedPoints( const QPolygon &points ) const
{
    QPolygon adjusted;
    if ( points.size() == 2 )
    {
        const int width = qAbs( points[1].x() - points[0].x() );
        const int height = qAbs( points[1].y() - points[0].y() );
        QRect rect( 0, 0, 2 * width, 2 * height );
        rect.moveCenter( points[0] );
        adjusted += rect.topLeft();
        adjusted += rect.bottomRight();
    }
    return adjusted;
}

Parameters:

points Selected points

Always false.
