Detailed Description

Layout engine for QwtPlot.

It is used by the QwtPlot widget to organize its internal widgets or by QwtPlot::print() to render its content to a QPaintDevice like a QPrinter, QPixmap/QImage or QSvgRenderer.

Align the legend to the canvas

Parameters:

canvasRect Geometry of the canvas
legendRect Maximum geometry for the legend

Returns:

Geometry for the aligned legend

void QwtPlotLayout::alignScales (Options options, QRectF & canvasRect, QRectF scaleRect[QwtPlot::axisCnt]) const [protected]

Align the ticks of the axis to the canvas borders using the empty corners.

Parameters:

options Layout options
canvasRect Geometry of the canvas ( IN/OUT )
scaleRect Geometries of the scales ( IN/OUT )

Options

int QwtPlotLayout::canvasMargin (int axisId) const

Parameters:

axisId Axis index

Returns:

Margin around the scale tick borders

See also:

setCanvasMargin()

QRectF QwtPlotLayout::canvasRect () const

Returns:

Geometry for the canvas

See also:

void QwtPlotLayout::expandLineBreaks (Options options, const QRectF & rect, int & dimTitle, int & dimFooter, int dimAxes[QwtPlot::axisCnt]) const [protected]

Expand all line breaks in text labels, and calculate the height of their widgets in orientation of the text.

Parameters:

options Options how to layout the legend
rect Bounding rectangle for title, footer, axes and canvas.
dimTitle Expanded height of the title widget
dimFooter Expanded height of the footer widget
dimAxes Expanded heights of the axis in axis orientation.

Parameters:

axis Axis index

Returns:

void QwtPlotLayout::setAlignCanvasToScale (int axisId, bool on)

Change the align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting. The canvas may:

extend beyond the axis scale ends to maximize its size,
align with the axis scale ends to control its size.

The axisId parameter is somehow confusing as it identifies a border of the plot and not the axes, that are aligned. F.e when QwtPlot::yLeft is set, the left end of the the x-axes ( QwtPlot::xTop, QwtPlot::xBottom ) is aligned.

Parameters:

axisId Axis index
on New align-canvas-to-axis-scales setting

See also:

setCanvasMargin(), alignCanvasToScale(), setAlignCanvasToScales()

Warning:

In case of on == true canvasMargin() will have no effect

void QwtPlotLayout::setAlignCanvasToScales (bool on)

Set the align-canvas-to-axis-scales flag for all axes.

Parameters:

on True/False

See also:

setAlignCanvasToScale(), alignCanvasToScale()

void QwtPlotLayout::setCanvasMargin (int margin, int axis = -1)

Change a margin of the canvas. The margin is the space above/below the scale ticks. A negative margin will be set to -1, excluding the borders of the scales.

Parameters:

margin New margin
axis One of QwtPlot::Axis. Specifies where the position of the margin. -1 means margin at all borders.

See also:

canvasMargin()

Warning:

The margin will have no effect when alignCanvasToScale() is true

void QwtPlotLayout::setCanvasRect (const QRectF & rect) [protected]

Set the geometry for the canvas. This method is intended to be used from derived layouts overloading activate()

See also:

canvasRect(), activate()

void QwtPlotLayout::setFooterRect (const QRectF & rect) [protected]

Set the geometry for the footer. This method is intended to be used from derived layouts overloading activate()

See also:

footerRect(), activate()

void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition (QwtPlot::LegendPosition pos, double ratio)

Specify the position of the legend.

Parameters:

pos The legend's position.
ratio Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, footer, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.

See also:

QwtPlot::setLegendPosition()

void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendPosition (QwtPlot::LegendPosition pos)

Specify the position of the legend.

Parameters:

pos The legend's position. Valid values are QwtPlot::LeftLegend, QwtPlot::RightLegend, QwtPlot::TopLegend, QwtPlot::BottomLegend.

See also:

QwtPlot::setLegendPosition()

void QwtPlotLayout::setLegendRatio (double ratio)

Specify the relative size of the legend in the plot

Parameters:

ratio Ratio between legend and the bounding rectangle of title, footer, canvas and axes. The legend will be shrunk if it would need more space than the given ratio. The ratio is limited to ]0.0 .. 1.0]. In case of <= 0.0 it will be reset to the default ratio. The default vertical/horizontal ratio is 0.33/0.5.
