Detailed Description

Renderer for exporting a plot to a document, a printer or anything else, that is supported by QPainter/QPaintDevice.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtPlotRenderer::DiscardFlag

Disard flags.

Enumerator

DiscardNone: Render all components of the plot.
DiscardBackground: Don't render the background of the plot.
DiscardTitle: Don't render the title of the plot.
DiscardLegend: Don't render the legend of the plot.
DiscardCanvasBackground: Don't render the background of the canvas.
DiscardFooter: Don't render the footer of the plot.
DiscardCanvasFrame: Don't render the frame of the canvas

Note:

This flag has no effect when using style sheets, where the frame is part of the background

enum QwtPlotRenderer::LayoutFlag

Layout flags.

See also:

setLayoutFlag(), testLayoutFlag()

Enumerator

DefaultLayout: Use the default layout as on screen.
FrameWithScales: Instead of the scales a box is painted around the plot canvas, where the scale ticks are aligned to.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtPlotRenderer::QwtPlotRenderer (QObject * parent = NULL) [explicit]

Constructor

Parameters:

parent Parent object

Member Function Documentation

QwtPlotRenderer::DiscardFlags QwtPlotRenderer::discardFlags () const

Returns:

Flags, indicating what to discard from rendering

See also:

DiscardFlag, setDiscardFlags(), setDiscardFlag(), testDiscardFlag()

bool QwtPlotRenderer::exportTo (QwtPlot * plot, const QString & documentName, const QSizeF & sizeMM = QSizeF( 300, 200 ), int resolution = 85)

Execute a file dialog and render the plot to the selected file.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
documentName Default document name
sizeMM Size for the document in millimeters.
resolution Resolution in dots per Inch (dpi)

Returns:

True, when exporting was successful

See also:

renderDocument()

QwtPlotRenderer::LayoutFlags QwtPlotRenderer::layoutFlags () const

Returns:

Layout flags

LayoutFlag, setLayoutFlags(), setLayoutFlag(), testLayoutFlag()

void QwtPlotRenderer::render (QwtPlot * plot, QPainter * painter, const QRectF & plotRect) const [virtual]

Paint the contents of a QwtPlot instance into a given rectangle.

Parameters:

plot Plot to be rendered
painter Painter
plotRect Bounding rectangle

See also:

renderDocument(), renderTo(), QwtPainter::setRoundingAlignment()

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderCanvas (const QwtPlot * plot, QPainter * painter, const QRectF & canvasRect, const QwtScaleMap * maps) const [virtual]

Render the canvas into a given rectangle.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
painter Painter
maps Maps mapping between plot and paint device coordinates
canvasRect Canvas rectangle

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderDocument (QwtPlot * plot, const QString & fileName, const QSizeF & sizeMM, int resolution = 85)

Render a plot to a file

The format of the document will be auto-detected from the suffix of the file name.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
fileName Path of the file, where the document will be stored
sizeMM Size for the document in millimeters.
resolution Resolution in dots per Inch (dpi)

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderDocument (QwtPlot * plot, const QString & fileName, const QString & format, const QSizeF & sizeMM, int resolution = 85)

Render a plot to a file

Supported formats are:

pdf
Portable Document Format PDF
ps
Postcript
svg
Scalable Vector Graphics SVG
all image formats supported by Qt
see QImageWriter::supportedImageFormats()

Scalable vector graphic formats like PDF or SVG are superior to raster graphics formats.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
fileName Path of the file, where the document will be stored
format Format for the document
sizeMM Size for the document in millimeters.
resolution Resolution in dots per Inch (dpi)

renderTo(), render(), QwtPainter::setRoundingAlignment()

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderFooter (const QwtPlot * plot, QPainter * painter, const QRectF & footerRect) const [virtual]

Render the footer into a given rectangle.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
painter Painter
footerRect Bounding rectangle for the footer

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderLegend (const QwtPlot * plot, QPainter * painter, const QRectF & legendRect) const [virtual]

Render the legend into a given rectangle.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
painter Painter
legendRect Bounding rectangle for the legend

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderScale (const QwtPlot * plot, QPainter * painter, int axisId, int startDist, int endDist, int baseDist, const QRectF & scaleRect) const [virtual]

Paint a scale into a given rectangle. Paint the scale into a given rectangle.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
painter Painter
axisId Axis
startDist Start border distance
endDist End border distance
baseDist Base distance
scaleRect Bounding rectangle for the scale

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderTitle (const QwtPlot * plot, QPainter * painter, const QRectF & titleRect) const [virtual]

Render the title into a given rectangle.

Parameters:

plot Plot widget
painter Painter
titleRect Bounding rectangle for the title

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderTo (QwtPlot * plot, QPrinter & printer) const

Render the plot to a QPrinter. This function renders the contents of a QwtPlot instance to QPaintDevice object. The size is derived from the printer metrics.

Parameters:

plot Plot to be rendered
printer Printer to paint on

See also:

renderDocument(), render(), QwtPainter::setRoundingAlignment()

void QwtPlotRenderer::renderTo (QwtPlot * plot, QPaintDevice & paintDevice) const

Render the plot to a QPaintDevice. This function renders the contents of a QwtPlot instance to QPaintDevice object. The target rectangle is derived from its device metrics.

Parameters:

plot Plot to be rendered
paintDevice device to paint on, f.e a QImage
