Detailed Description

       A class which draws a scale inside the plot canvas.

       QwtPlotScaleItem can be used to draw an axis inside the plot canvas. It might by synchronized to one of
       the axis of the plot, but can also display its own ticks and labels.

       It is allowed to synchronize the scale item with a disabled axis. In plots with vertical and horizontal
       scale items, it might be necessary to remove ticks at the intersections, by overloading updateScaleDiv().

       The scale might be at a specific position (f.e 0.0) or it might be aligned to a canvas border.

       Example
           The following example shows how to replace the left axis, by a scale item at the x position 0.0.

           QwtPlotScaleItem *scaleItem =
               new QwtPlotScaleItem(QwtScaleDraw::RightScale, 0.0);
           scaleItem->setFont(plot->axisWidget(QwtPlot::yLeft)->font());
           scaleItem->attach(plot);

           plot->enableAxis(QwtPlot::yLeft, false);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   QwtPlotScaleItem::QwtPlotScaleItem (QwtScaleDraw::Alignmentalignment = QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale, const
       doublepos = 0.0) [explicit]
       Constructor for scale item at the position pos. Parameters:
           alignment In case of QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale/QwtScaleDraw::TopScale the scale item is corresponding
           to the xAxis(), otherwise it corresponds to the yAxis().
           pos x or y position, depending on the corresponding axis.

Member Function Documentation

   int QwtPlotScaleItem::borderDistance () const
       Returns:
           Distance from a canvas border

       Returns:
           tick label font

           setFont()

   bool QwtPlotScaleItem::isScaleDivFromAxis () const
       Returns:
           True, if the synchronization of the scale division with the corresponding axis is enabled.

       See also:
           setScaleDiv(), setScaleDivFromAxis()

   QPalette QwtPlotScaleItem::palette () const
       Returns:
           palette

       See also:
           setPalette()

   double QwtPlotScaleItem::position () const
       Returns:
           Position of the scale

       See also:
           setPosition(), setAlignment()

   int QwtPlotScaleItem::rtti () const [virtual]
       Returns:
           QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotScale

       Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

   const QwtScaleDiv & QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDiv () const
       Returns:
           Scale division

   const QwtScaleDraw * QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDraw () const
       Returns:
           Scale draw

       See also:
           setScaleDraw()

   QwtScaleDraw * QwtPlotScaleItem::scaleDraw ()
       Returns:
           Scale draw

       See also:
           setScaleDraw()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setAlignment (QwtScaleDraw::Alignmentalignment)
       Change the alignment of the scale

       The alignment sets the orientation of the scale and the position of the ticks:

       • QwtScaleDraw::BottomScale: horizontal, ticks below

       • QwtScaleDraw::TopScale: horizontal, ticks above

       • QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale: vertical, ticks left

       • QwtScaleDraw::RightScale: vertical, ticks right

       For horizontal scales the position corresponds to QwtPlotItem::yAxis(), otherwise to
       QwtPlotItem::xAxis().

       See also:
           scaleDraw(), QwtScaleDraw::alignment(), setPosition()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setBorderDistance (intdistance)
       Align the scale to the canvas. If distance is >= 0 the scale will be aligned to a border of the contents
       rect of the canvas. If alignment() is QwtScaleDraw::LeftScale, the scale will be aligned to the right
       border, if it is QwtScaleDraw::TopScale it will be aligned to the bottom (and vice versa),

       If distance is < 0 the scale will be at the position().

       Parameters:
           distance Number of pixels between the canvas border and the backbone of the scale.

       See also:
           setPosition(), borderDistance()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setFont (const QFont &font)
       Change the tick label font

       See also:
           font()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setPalette (const QPalette &palette)
       Set the palette

       See also:
           QwtAbstractScaleDraw::draw(), palette()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setPosition (doublepos)
       Change the position of the scale

       The position is interpreted as y value for horizontal axes and as x value for vertical axes.

       The border distance is set to -1.

       Parameters:
           pos New position

       See also:
           position(), setAlignment()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setScaleDiv (const QwtScaleDiv &scaleDiv)
       Assign a scale division. When assigning a scaleDiv the scale division won't be synchronized with the
       corresponding axis anymore.

       Parameters:
           scaleDiv Scale division

       See also:
           scaleDiv(), setScaleDivFromAxis(), isScaleDivFromAxis()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setScaleDivFromAxis (boolon)
       Enable/Disable the synchronization of the scale division with the corresponding axis.

       Parameters:
           on true/false

       See also:
           isScaleDivFromAxis()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::setScaleDraw (QwtScaleDraw *scaleDraw)
       Set a scale draw. Parameters:
           scaleDraw object responsible for drawing scales.

       The main use case for replacing the default QwtScaleDraw is to overload QwtAbstractScaleDraw::label, to
       replace or swallow tick labels.

       See also:
           scaleDraw()

   void QwtPlotScaleItem::updateScaleDiv (const QwtScaleDiv &xScaleDiv, const QwtScaleDiv &yScaleDiv) [virtual]
       Update the item to changes of the axes scale division. In case of isScaleDivFromAxis(), the scale draw is
       synchronized to the correspond axis.

       Parameters:
           xScaleDiv Scale division of the x-axis
           yScaleDiv Scale division of the y-axis

       See also:
           QwtPlot::updateAxes()
