Detailed Description
The Knob Widget.
The QwtKnob widget imitates look and behavior of a volume knob on a radio. It looks similar to QDial -
not to QwtDial.
The value range of a knob might be divided into several turns.
The layout of the knob depends on the knobWidth().
• width > 0 The diameter of the knob is fixed and the knob is aligned according to the alignment() flags
inside of the contentsRect().
• width <= 0 The knob is extended to the minimum of width/height of the contentsRect() and aligned in the
other direction according to alignment().
Setting a fixed knobWidth() is helpful to align several knobs with different scale labels.
Member Enumeration Documentation
enum QwtKnob::KnobStyle
Style of the knob surface. Depending on the KnobStyle the surface of the knob is filled from the brushes
of the widget palette().
See also:
setKnobStyle(), knobStyle()
Enumerator
Flat Fill the knob with a brush from QPalette::Button.
Raised Build a gradient from QPalette::Midlight and QPalette::Button.
Sunken Build a gradient from QPalette::Midlight, QPalette::Button and QPalette::Midlight
Styled Build a radial gradient from QPalette::Button like it is used for QDial in various Qt styles.
enum QwtKnob::MarkerStyle
Marker type. The marker indicates the current value on the knob The default setting is a Notch marker.
See also:
setMarkerStyle(), setMarkerSize()
Enumerator
NoMarker
Don't paint any marker.
Tick Paint a single tick in QPalette::ButtonText color.
Triangle
Paint a triangle in QPalette::ButtonText color.
Dot Paint a circle in QPalette::ButtonText color.
Nub Draw a raised ellipse with a gradient build from QPalette::Light and QPalette::Mid
Notch Draw a sunken ellipse with a gradient build from QPalette::Light and QPalette::Mid

Implements QwtAbstractSlider.
QRect QwtKnob::knobRect () const
Calculate the bounding rectangle of the knob without the scale
Returns:
Bounding rectangle of the knob
See also:
knobWidth(), alignment(), QWidget::contentsRect()

setNumTurns(), setTotalAngle(), totalAngle()
void QwtKnob::paintEvent (QPaintEvent * event) [protected], [virtual]
Repaint the knob
Parameters:
event Paint event
const QwtRoundScaleDraw * QwtKnob::scaleDraw () const
Returns:
the scale draw of the knob
See also:
setScaleDraw()
QwtRoundScaleDraw * QwtKnob::scaleDraw ()

setScaleDraw()
double QwtKnob::scrolledTo (const QPoint & pos) const [protected], [virtual]
Determine the value for a new position of the mouse.
Parameters:
pos Mouse position
Returns:
Value for the mouse position
See also:
isScrollPosition()
Implements QwtAbstractSlider.
void QwtKnob::setAlignment (Qt::Alignment alignment)
Set the alignment of the knob. Similar to a QLabel::alignment() the flags decide how to align the knob
inside of contentsRect().
The default setting is Qt::AlignCenter
Parameters:
alignment Or'd alignment flags
See also:
alignment(), setKnobWidth(), knobRect()
void QwtKnob::setBorderWidth (int borderWidth)
Set the knob's border width.
Parameters:
borderWidth new border width
void QwtKnob::setKnobStyle (KnobStyle knobStyle)
Set the knob type.
Parameters:
knobStyle Knob type
See also:
knobStyle(), setBorderWidth()
void QwtKnob::setKnobWidth (int width)
Change the knob's width. Setting a fixed value for the diameter of the knob is helpful for aligning
several knobs in a row.
Parameters:
width New width
See also:
knobWidth(), setAlignment()
Note:
Modifies the sizePolicy()
void QwtKnob::setMarkerSize (int size)
Set the size of the marker. When setting a size <= 0 the marker will automatically scaled to 40% of the
radius of the knob.
See also:
markerSize(), markerStyle()
void QwtKnob::setMarkerStyle (MarkerStyle markerStyle)
Set the marker type of the knob.
Parameters:
markerStyle Marker type
See also:
markerStyle(), setMarkerSize()
void QwtKnob::setNumTurns (int numTurns)
Set the number of turns. When numTurns > 1 the knob can be turned several times around its axis
• otherwise the total angle is floored to 360°.
See also:
numTurns(), totalAngle(), setTotalAngle()
void QwtKnob::setScaleDraw (QwtRoundScaleDraw * scaleDraw)
Change the scale draw of the knob
For changing the labels of the scales, it is necessary to derive from QwtRoundScaleDraw and overload
QwtRoundScaleDraw::label().
See also:
scaleDraw()
void QwtKnob::setTotalAngle (double angle)
Set the total angle by which the knob can be turned.
Parameters:
angle Angle in degrees.
The angle has to be between [10, 360] degrees. Angles above 360 ( so that the knob can be turned several
times around its axis ) have to be set using setNumTurns().
The default angle is 270 degrees.
See also:
totalAngle(), setNumTurns()
QSize QwtKnob::sizeHint () const [virtual]
Returns:
sizeHint()
double QwtKnob::totalAngle () const
Returns:
the total angle
