Detailed Description
QwtPlotTradingCurve illustrates movements in the price of a financial instrument over
time.
QwtPlotTradingCurve supports candlestick or bar ( OHLC ) charts that are used in the
domain of technical analysis.
While the length ( height or width depending on orientation() ) of each symbol depends on
the corresponding OHLC sample the size of the other dimension can be controlled using:
• setSymbolExtent()
• setSymbolMinWidth()
• setSymbolMaxWidth()
The extent is a size in scale coordinates, so that the symbol width is increasing when the
plot is zoomed in. Minimum/Maximum width is in widget coordinates independent from the
zoom level. When setting the minimum and maximum to the same value, the width of the
symbol is fixed.
Member Enumeration Documentation
enum QwtPlotTradingCurve::Direction
Direction of a price movement.
Enumerator
Increasing
The closing price is higher than the opening price.
Decreasing
The closing price is lower than the opening price.
enum QwtPlotTradingCurve::PaintAttribute
Attributes to modify the drawing algorithm.
See also:
setPaintAttribute(), testPaintAttribute()
Enumerator
ClipSymbols
Check if a symbol is on the plot canvas before painting it.
enum QwtPlotTradingCurve::SymbolStyle
Symbol styles. The default setting is QwtPlotSeriesItem::CandleStick.
See also:
setSymbolStyle(), symbolStyle()
Enumerator
NoSymbol
Nothing is displayed.
Bar A line on the chart shows the price range (the highest and lowest prices) over one
unit of time, e.g. one day or one hour. Tick marks project from each side of the
line indicating the opening and closing price.
CandleStick
The range between opening/closing price are displayed as a filled box. The fill
brush depends on the direction of the price movement. The box is connected to the
highest/lowest values by lines.
UserSymbol
SymbolTypes >= UserSymbol are displayed by drawUserSymbol(), that needs to be
overloaded and implemented in derived curve classes.

drawUserSymbol()

open tick. painted in the opposite d opposite direction.

Parameters:
painter Painter
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.

from Index of the first point to be painted
to Index of the last point to be painted. If to < 0 the curve will be painted to its
last point.

drawSymbols()
Implements QwtPlotSeriesItem.
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::drawSymbols (QPainter * painter, const QwtScaleMap & xMap, const

drawSeries()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::drawUserSymbol (QPainter * painter, SymbolStyle symbolStyle, const
QwtOHLCSample & sample, Qt::Orientation orientation, bool inverted, double symbolWidth)
const [protected], [virtual]
Draw a symbol for a symbol style >= UserSymbol. The implementation does nothing and is
intended to be overloaded
Parameters:
painter Qt painter, initialized with pen/brush
symbolStyle Symbol style
sample Samples already translated into paint device coordinates
orientation Vertical or horizontal
inverted True, when the opposite scale ( Qt::Vertical: x, Qt::Horizontal: y ) is
increasing in the opposite direction as QPainter coordinates.
symbolWidth Width of the symbol in paint device coordinates
QwtGraphic QwtPlotTradingCurve::legendIcon (int index, const QSizeF & size) const [virtual]
Returns:
A rectangle filled with the color of the symbol pen
Parameters:
index Index of the legend entry ( usually there is only one )
size Icon size
See also:
setLegendIconSize(), legendData()
Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.
double QwtPlotTradingCurve::maxSymbolWidth () const

Calculate the symbol width in paint coordinates
The width is calculated by scaling the symbol extent into paint device coordinates bounded
by the minimum/maximum symbol width.
Parameters:
xMap Maps x-values into pixel coordinates.
yMap Maps y-values into pixel coordinates.
canvasRect Contents rectangle of the canvas
Returns:
Symbol width in paint coordinates
See also:
symbolExtent(), minSymbolWidth(), maxSymbolWidth()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setMaxSymbolWidth (double width)
Set a maximum for the symbol width
A value <= 0.0 means an unlimited width
Parameters:
width Width in paint device coordinates
See also:
maxSymbolWidth(), setMinSymbolWidth(), setSymbolExtent()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setMinSymbolWidth (double width)
Set a minimum for the symbol width
Parameters:
width Width in paint device coordinates

testPaintAttribute()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setSamples (const QVector< QwtOHLCSample > & samples)
Initialize data with an array of samples.
Parameters:
samples Vector of samples
See also:
QwtPlotSeriesItem::setData()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setSamples (QwtSeriesData< QwtOHLCSample > * data)
Assign a series of samples
setSamples() is just a wrapper for setData() without any additional value - beside that it
is easier to find for the developer.
Parameters:
data Data
Warning:
The item takes ownership of the data object, deleting it when its not used anymore.
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setSymbolBrush (Direction direction, const QBrush & brush)
Set the symbol brush
Parameters:
direction Direction type
brush Brush used to fill the body of all candlestick symbols with the direction
See also:
symbolBrush(), setSymbolPen()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setSymbolExtent (double extent)
Set the extent of the symbol. The width of the symbol is given in scale coordinates. When
painting a symbol the width is scaled into paint device coordinates by
scaledSymbolWidth(). The scaled width is bounded by minSymbolWidth(), maxSymbolWidth()
Parameters:
extent Symbol width in scale coordinates
See also:
symbolExtent(), scaledSymbolWidth(), setMinSymbolWidth(), setMaxSymbolWidth()
void QwtPlotTradingCurve::setSymbolPen (const QColor & color, qreal width = 0.0, Qt::PenStyle
style = Qt::SolidLine)
Build and assign the symbol 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.

color Pen color
width Pen width
style Pen style
