Detailed Description

       A plot item, which displays any graphical shape, that can be defined by a QPainterPath.

       A QPainterPath is a shape composed from intersecting and uniting regions, rectangles,
       ellipses or irregular areas defined by lines, and curves. QwtPlotShapeItem displays a
       shape with a pen and brush.

       QwtPlotShapeItem offers a couple of optimizations like clipping or weeding. These
       algorithms need to convert the painter path into polygons that might be less performant
       for paths built from curves and ellipses.

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum QwtPlotShapeItem::LegendMode
       Mode how to display the item on the legend.

       Enumerator

       LegendShape
              Display a scaled down version of the shape.

       LegendColor
              Display a filled rectangle.

   enum QwtPlotShapeItem::PaintAttribute
       Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm. The default disables all attributes

       See also:
           setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()

       Enumerator

       ClipPolygons
              Clip polygons before painting them. In situations, where points are far outside the
              visible area (f.e when zooming deep) this might be a substantial improvement for
              the painting performance

       But polygon clipping will convert the painter path into polygons what might introduce a
       negative impact on the performance of paths composed from curves or ellipses.

       Returns:
           A rectangle filled with the color of the brush ( or the pen )

       Parameters:
           index Index of the legend entry ( usually there is only one )

       See also:
           setLegendIconSize(), legendData()

       Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

   QwtPlotShapeItem::LegendMode QwtPlotShapeItem::legendMode () const
       Returns:
           Mode how to represent the item on the legend

       See also:
           legendMode()

   QPen QwtPlotShapeItem::pen () const
       Returns:
           Pen used to draw the outline of the shape

       See also:
           setPen(), brush()

   double QwtPlotShapeItem::renderTolerance () const
       Returns:
           Tolerance for the weeding optimization

       See also:
           setRenderTolerance()

   int QwtPlotShapeItem::rtti () const [virtual]
       Returns:
           QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotShape

       Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setBrush (const QBrush & brush)
       Assign a brush.

       The brush is used to fill the path

       Parameters:
           brush Brush

       See also:
           brush(), pen()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setLegendMode (LegendMode mode)
       Set the mode how to represent the item on the legend

       Parameters:
           mode Mode

       See also:
           legendMode()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setPaintAttribute (PaintAttribute attribute, bool on = true)
       Specify an attribute how to draw the shape

       Parameters:
           attribute Paint attribute
           on On/Off

       See also:
           testPaintAttribute()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setPen (const QColor & color, qreal width = 0.0, Qt::PenStyle style =
       Qt::SolidLine)
       Build and assign a pen

       In Qt5 the default pen width is 1.0 ( 0.0 in Qt4 ) what makes it non cosmetic ( see
       QPen::isCosmetic() ). This method has been introduced to hide this incompatibility.

       Parameters:
           color Pen color
           width Pen width
           style Pen style

       See also:
           pen(), brush()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setPen (const QPen & pen)
       Assign a pen. The pen is used to draw the outline of the shape

       Parameters:
           pen Pen

       See also:
           pen(), brush()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setPolygon (const QPolygonF & polygon)
       Set a path built from a polygon.

       Parameters:
           polygon Polygon

       See also:
           setShape(), setRect(), shape()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setRect (const QRectF & rect)
       Set a path built from a rectangle.

       Parameters:
           rect Rectangle

       See also:
           setShape(), setPolygon(), shape()

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setRenderTolerance (double tolerance)
       Set the tolerance for the weeding optimization. After translating the shape into target
       device coordinate ( usually widget geometries ) the painter path can be simplified by a
       point weeding algorithm ( Douglas-Peucker ).

       For shapes built from curves and ellipses weeding might have the opposite effect because
       they have to be expanded to polygons.

       Parameters:
           tolerance Accepted error when reducing the number of points A value <= 0.0 disables
           weeding.

           renderTolerance(), QwtWeedingCurveFitter

   void QwtPlotShapeItem::setShape (const QPainterPath & shape)
       Set the shape to be displayed.

       Parameters:
           shape Shape

           setShape(), shape()

   QPainterPath QwtPlotShapeItem::shape () const
       Returns:
           Shape to be displayed

   bool QwtPlotShapeItem::testPaintAttribute (PaintAttribute attribute) const
       Returns:
           True, when attribute is enabled
