template<typename T>

class QwtSeriesData< T >" Abstract interface for iterating over samples.

Qwt offers several implementations of the QwtSeriesData API, but in situations, where data of an application specific format needs to be displayed, without having to copy it, it is recommended to implement an individual data access.

A subclass of QwtSeriesData<QPointF> must implement:

• size()
  Should return number of data points.
• sample()
  Should return values x and y values of the sample at specific position as QPointF object.
• boundingRect()
  Should return the bounding rectangle of the data series. It is used for autoscaling and might help certain algorithms for displaying the data. You can use qwtBoundingRect() for an implementation but often it is possible to implement a more efficient algorithm depending on the characteristics of the series. The member d_boundingRect is intended for caching the calculated rectangle.

template<typename T> virtual QRectF QwtSeriesData< T >::boundingRect () const [pure virtual]

Calculate the bounding rect of all samples

The bounding rect is necessary for autoscaling and can be used for a couple of painting optimizations.

qwtBoundingRect(...) offers slow implementations iterating over the samples. For large sets it is recommended to implement something faster f.e. by caching the bounding rectangle.

Returns:

Implemented in QwtTradingChartData, QwtSetSeriesData, QwtIntervalSeriesData, QwtPoint3DSeriesData, QwtPointSeriesData, QwtSyntheticPointData, QwtCPointerData, and QwtPointArrayData.

template<typename T> virtual T QwtSeriesData< T >::sample (size_t i) const [pure virtual]

Return a sample

Parameters:

Returns:

Implemented in QwtArraySeriesData< T >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtIntervalSample >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtOHLCSample >, QwtArraySeriesData< QPointF >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtPoint3D >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtSetSample >, QwtSyntheticPointData, QwtCPointerData, and QwtPointArrayData.

template<typename T > void QwtSeriesData< T >::setRectOfInterest (const QRectF & rect) [virtual]

Set a the 'rect of interest'

QwtPlotSeriesItem defines the current area of the plot canvas as 'rectangle of interest' ( QwtPlotSeriesItem::updateScaleDiv() ). It can be used to implement different levels of details.

The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

Reimplemented in QwtSyntheticPointData.

template<typename T> virtual size_t QwtSeriesData< T >::size () const [pure virtual]

Returns:

Implemented in QwtArraySeriesData< T >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtIntervalSample >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtOHLCSample >, QwtArraySeriesData< QPointF >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtPoint3D >, QwtArraySeriesData< QwtSetSample >, QwtSyntheticPointData, QwtCPointerData, and QwtPointArrayData.
