Member Function Documentation

◆ backingStore()

QPixmap QwtPainter::backingStore ( QWidget *  widget,
const QSize &  size 
)
static
Returns
A pixmap that can be used as backing store
Parameters
widgetWidget, for which the backingstore is intended
sizeSize of the pixmap

◆ drawBackgound()

void QwtPainter::drawBackgound ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rect,
const QWidget *  widget 
)
static

Fill rect with the background of a widget

Parameters
painterPainter
rectRectangle to be filled
widgetWidget
See also
QStyle::PE_Widget, QWidget::backgroundRole()

◆ drawColorBar()

void QwtPainter::drawColorBar ( QPainter *  painter,
const QwtColorMap colorMap,
const QwtInterval interval,
const QwtScaleMap scaleMap,
Qt::Orientation  orientation,
const QRectF &  rect 
)
static

Draw a color bar into a rectangle

Parameters
painterPainter
colorMapColor map
intervalValue range
scaleMapScale map
orientationOrientation
rectTraget rectangle

◆ drawFrame()

void QwtPainter::drawFrame ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rect,
const QPalette &  palette,
QPalette::ColorRole  foregroundRole,
int  frameWidth,
int  midLineWidth,
int  frameStyle 
)
static

Draw a rectangular frame

Parameters
painterPainter
rectFrame rectangle
palettePalette
foregroundRoleForeground role used for QFrame::Plain
frameWidthFrame width
midLineWidthUsed for QFrame::Box
frameStylebitwise OR´ed value of QFrame::Shape and QFrame::Shadow

◆ drawRoundedFrame()

void QwtPainter::drawRoundedFrame ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rect,
double  xRadius,
double  yRadius,
const QPalette &  palette,
int  lineWidth,
int  frameStyle 
)
static

Draw a rectangular frame with rounded borders

Parameters
painterPainter
rectFrame rectangle
xRadiusx-radius of the ellipses defining the corners
yRadiusy-radius of the ellipses defining the corners
paletteQPalette::WindowText is used for plain borders QPalette::Dark and QPalette::Light for raised or sunken borders
lineWidthLine width
frameStylebitwise OR´ed value of QFrame::Shape and QFrame::Shadow

◆ drawRoundFrame()

void QwtPainter::drawRoundFrame ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rect,
const QPalette &  palette,
int  lineWidth,
int  frameStyle 
)
static

Draw a round frame

Parameters
painterPainter
rectFrame rectangle
paletteQPalette::WindowText is used for plain borders QPalette::Dark and QPalette::Light for raised or sunken borders
lineWidthLine width
frameStylebitwise OR´ed value of QFrame::Shape and QFrame::Shadow

◆ drawSimpleRichText()

void QwtPainter::drawSimpleRichText ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rect,
int  flags,
const QTextDocument &  text 
)
static

Draw a text document into a rectangle

Parameters
painterPainter
rectTraget rectangle
flagsAlignments/Text flags, see QPainter::drawText()
textText document

◆ fillPixmap()

void QwtPainter::fillPixmap ( const QWidget *  widget,
QPixmap &  pixmap,
const QPoint &  offset = QPoint() 
)
static

Fill a pixmap with the content of a widget

In Qt >= 5.0 QPixmap::fill() is a nop, in Qt 4.x it is buggy for backgrounds with gradients. Thus fillPixmap() offers an alternative implementation.

Parameters
widgetWidget
pixmapPixmap to be filled
offsetOffset
See also
QPixmap::fill()

◆ isAligning()

bool QwtPainter::isAligning ( QPainter *  painter)
static

Check if the painter is using a paint engine, that aligns coordinates to integers. Today these are all paint engines beside QPaintEngine::Pdf and QPaintEngine::SVG.

If we have an integer based paint engine it is also checked if the painter has a transformation matrix, that rotates or scales.

Parameters
painterPainter
Returns
true, when the painter is aligning
See also
setRoundingAlignment()

◆ isX11GraphicsSystem()

bool QwtPainter::isX11GraphicsSystem ( )
static

Check is the application is running with the X11 graphics system that has some special capabilities that can be used for incremental painting to a widget.

Returns
True, when the graphics system is X11

◆ polylineSplitting()

bool QwtPainter::polylineSplitting ( )
inlinestatic
Returns
True, when line splitting for the raster paint engine is enabled.
See also
setPolylineSplitting()

◆ roundingAlignment() [1/2]

bool QwtPainter::roundingAlignment ( )
inlinestatic

Check whether coordinates should be rounded, before they are painted to a paint engine that rounds to integer values. For other paint engines ( PDF, SVG ), this flag has no effect.

Returns
True, when rounding is enabled
See also
setRoundingAlignment(), isAligning()

◆ roundingAlignment() [2/2]

bool QwtPainter::roundingAlignment ( QPainter *  painter)
inlinestatic
Returns
roundingAlignment() && isAligning(painter);
Parameters
painterPainter

◆ setPolylineSplitting()

void QwtPainter::setPolylineSplitting ( bool  enable)
static

En/Disable line splitting for the raster paint engine.

In some Qt versions the raster paint engine paints polylines of many points much faster when they are split in smaller chunks: f.e all supported Qt versions >= Qt 5.0 when drawing an antialiased polyline with a pen width >=2.

Also the raster paint engine has a nasty bug in many versions ( Qt 4.8 - ... ) for short lines ( https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/99456 ), that is worked around in this mode.

The default setting is true.

See also
polylineSplitting()

◆ setRoundingAlignment()

void QwtPainter::setRoundingAlignment ( bool  enable)
static

Enable whether coordinates should be rounded, before they are painted to a paint engine that floors to integer values. For other paint engines ( PDF, SVG ) this flag has no effect. QwtPainter stores this flag only, the rounding itself is done in the painting code ( f.e the plot items ).

The default setting is true.
