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

◆ KnobStyle

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.

◆ MarkerStyle

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

		const QRectF &	rect,
		double	angle
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Draw the marker at the knob's front.

Parameters

rect	Bounding rectangle of the knob without scale
angle	Angle of the marker in degrees ( clockwise, 0 at the 12 o'clock position )

◆ isScrollPosition()

bool QwtKnob::isScrollPosition ( const QPoint & pos ) const

protectedvirtual

Determine what to do when the user presses a mouse button.

Parameters

pos	Mouse position

Return values

True,when pos is inside the circle of the knob.

See also: scrolledTo()

Implements QwtAbstractSlider.

◆ knobRect()

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()

◆ setAlignment()

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().

alignment Or'd alignment flags

See also: alignment(), setKnobWidth(), knobRect()

Parameters

knobStyle Knob type

See also: knobStyle(), setBorderWidth()

◆ setKnobWidth()

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.

width New width

See also: knobWidth(), setAlignment()

Note: Modifies the sizePolicy()

◆ setMarkerSize()

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()

◆ setNumTurns()

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()

◆ setScaleDraw()

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()

◆ setTotalAngle()

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()

◆ sizeHint()

QSize QwtKnob::sizeHint ( ) const

virtual

Returns: sizeHint()

◆ totalAngle()
