Detailed Description

A plot item, which displays a spectrogram.

A spectrogram displays 3-dimensional data, where the 3rd dimension ( the intensity ) is displayed using colors. The colors are calculated from the values using a color map.

On multi-core systems the performance of the image composition can often be improved by dividing the area into tiles - each of them rendered in a different thread ( see QwtPlotItem::setRenderThreadCount() ).

In ContourMode contour lines are painted for the contour levels.

Calculate the pen for a contour line.

The color of the pen is the color for level calculated by the color map

Parameters
levelContour level
Returns

◆ contourRasterSize()

QSize QwtPlotSpectrogram::contourRasterSize ( const QRectF &  area,

Return the raster to be used by the CONREC contour algorithm.

A larger size will improve the precision of the CONREC algorithm, but will slow down the time that is needed to calculate the lines.

The default implementation returns rect.size() / 2 bounded to the resolution depending on pixelSize().

Parameters
areaRectangle, where to calculate the contour lines
rectRectangle in pixel coordinates, where to paint the contour lines
Returns
Raster to be used by the CONREC contour algorithm.
Note
The size will be bounded to rect.size().
